Well, they were very specific questions with specific answers. If you could've answered them in detailed fashion, you would've.

Other than making a joke about the awkward turn the conversation took and giving props to the legend RJJ, I don't really want to pile on though.

There isn't a question he could ask me that I can't answer. Any poker player with a brain can figure out pots odds and whether the math is right to call on any specific hand. This is really recreational player stuff he's talking about. But he's your guys rx poker King....so follow along on his free roll domination. All good.

Vitterd, I was actually pretty neutral when this discussion started even though HC is well liked (and you are not). I am one of those players that will not entirely trust online poker because there is nothing I trust less than humans and human greed. I have seen myself in very, VERY unlucky situations playing online that I simply cannot and will not accept as part of the variance. Problem I see with variance is that it is analyzed over a stretch of thousands of hands, so, basically the only way for you to handle that variance is to play all your life. Short term variance can and will cripple a lot of players. Mi world view is a basic "everyone is out to get something out of you" mentality, but I would never, never disregard the HUGE math factor in poker.

The math above is not really simple 20secs "recreational player" math. No way. Recreational players can barely get their outs and percentages on a especific hand. Most don't even do that. I actually gave you the benefit of a doubt regarding your poker history, as I know some people that play terribly and luckbox all the time, live and online, just like I know good players who go broke often.

Is not an exact science poker, it is a tricky skill game that will swallow people by the whole. But the more you reply the more I can see you dont love and never loved poker... and you try as hard as you can to be a dick to anyone here you dont like. Any player who has "cashed out" big like you did wouldnt talk that way about poker. You come of as 100% ignorant on the subject of poker sir.

Most of it is basic math and not tough to figure at all.

I know most that have cashed huge dont talk like me....their ego is too big. They would never say luck plays a part because they are so talented.....I'm not even gonna try that. Some people who can't spell their names have made huge amounts of money in poker. I'm sure they think they are just skillful players.....forgetting about their 2 hours of flopping sets and drawing one outers. No, I don't love poker, never did.....I'm happy that it's made a good life for me in that short of period. But I find the game boring and the players ares some of the most awful people on the planet.

I don't disagree with most of what you say, with the exception of the very first part (bold)

Oh and I don't really believe it made you any sort of "nice living"

This is human nature and true in far more than just poker. Most people think their failures are because of external factors, while their successes are primarily because of their own abilities and circumstance has nothing to do with it.

That doesn't really have anything to do with the game itself though. Just because people get lucky doesn't mean there isn't skill involved.

PM your name, or a link of your victory, anything! I promise I won't divulge it, may I lose any credibility I have here (if any) if I disclose it.

Idk man... hard to believe you, that's all.

Not sure how much clearer I can be....I didn't say there isn't skill....the level of skill is the argument. I happen to feel it's small and others don't.

in light of what's happen to akp here and some of the true psychopaths in the poly forum.....not gonna do that. No offense to you.

Youre entitled to your opinion as I said to HC.....it doesn't make a difference if you believe me or not.

There have been numerous bet offers regarding Vittard's poker lies over the years. Most recently Willie99 offered him something like $2-$3K for proof, and
of course Vittard backed out.

Total fucking lie. Why do you just tell lies all day?

i offered ten.....Willie offered two....I said lets split it in the middle and make it 6. He wasn't comfortable. That was the only bet ever offered.

Lying piece of shit festering stiff.

That's not even close to how it went down. Just ask Willie, he'll back me up.

Note that Vittard is calling me a stiff, and I've never stiffed anyone in my life.

Just another lie from the pathological liar.

Vittard, I'll bet you $10,000.00 that you can't find any evidence that I've ever stiffed anyone, you lying bitch troll.

You ok with that bitch?

Here's a thread where the lying fraud says that discussing poker strategy is a joke, and he can't point to any
hand histories he's ever posted, or is a member of any poker discussion sites.

He also promises in post #40 of the thread to show up in an RX tournament, this was 2.5 years ago.

Guess how many tournaments Vittard has played? ---> 0

Well, except for the fact that you said "how much" and Willie offered $2,000. Then 6 posters proceeded to point out you only upped the offer in an attempt to avoid the bet.

Not only that, but your idiotic "logic" of "I can't reveal personal information for $2,000 but will for $6,000!" also demonstrates you are lying. It call all be read about here.

What is so funny about your idiotic lies is you actually pretend posts are time & date stamped.

You are an absolute liar and a total joke.
