IMHO I don't dance - but that doesn't mean I can't make an observation. Forgive me for intruding in your world of 'known facts' - I have seen him make numberous bad plays in every tournament I have watched since he won it. There will always be a difference between 'luck' and 'skill' - I believe Chris won on a larger percentage of luck than most. That doesn't make him a bad player or a bad person.

I will attempt to no longer have an opinion on this matter

Don't get your underware all in a bunch.

I didn't say don't have an opinion ... or don't express it. I just said your opinion was pretty funny (reread my post). In fact ... I am counting on comments like that to entertain me until I get back on my feet

(been on cruches for 8 weeks now ... volleyball injury ... can't wait to rid myself of these cruches).

You have to measure your response just as I have to measure mine... what I read from your post (even on the reread) was 'shut up, you have no business having an opinion here'

(you know the whole going home from the dance without a girl thing seemed less than lighthearted?)

Sorry about your volleyball injury - I got so tired of people coming under the net that I don't even play any more. My ankles are like jelly I've rolled them so many times ):

IMHO That WSOP win was akin to drafting Antonio Gates in the 11th round last year. That was SOME display of "ability."
