I just like to share to all of the readers of our blog an interesting comment directed to me by someone named 'pretentious mike'

Mike

This is just becoming too sad. You talk about like you’ve been winning, well in fact, u've been losing (and to the times that u did win, u always seem to magnify it ). You talk about fishes, but it is common knowledge among the small and upcoming community of ours that you are one of the biggest fishes out here. You mentioned that its so lucrative to play with newbies, well its more lucrative for when mike tee is in a ring game with us: your countless buyins are amazing, good thing for us you have almost an unlimited bankroll.

But I give props to you: you always find a way to tell us what we should’ve done after we beat you to hand? If that’s not amusing, I don’t know what is. In fact we have this whole journal of your famous anecdotes. So I suggest mike that you should stop teaching us what to do after you bluff, your tells are enough for us.

Do you even realize that your fellow campers: mark and goma are way ahead of you in terms of skill? I remember that skyland tournament, you were out like what? 10 minutes into the tournament while your two friends were battling it out on the final 5, don’t bullshit me when you say it didn’t hurt a little bit, bet you didn’t get enough sleep that night. You should be indeed called “the flash”, you were out unbelievably fast.

And about that exaggerated break of yours, we all knew you are going to come back. But you should’ve stayed out longer: the stories about you were just too entertaining, too bad that we have to settle instead on your bankroll

So this is it mike, we just can’t stop letting you this way anymore. We all need someone to pull us out from being a condescending, obnoxious and hypocritical asshole, hope you take this as reflection and maybe you too can become a good player.(coz quite frankly you really are that bad)

We are open to all suggestion and criticisms, it's a free world, say whatever it is that you have to say. From the looks of it, you, sir, just don't like me, don't like the way I play, don't like what I write in our blog, don't like the way I lose my bankroll, don't like the way I tell my stories etc. That is acceptable, I don't expect anyone for that matter to agree or admire me. If in your eyes i'm the biggest fish our there, then too bad for me I guess. I won't stop you from trying to take my money for I'm sure I'm also trying to take yours. Yes, Goma and Mark are ahead of me right now, and it doesn't bother me that they are ahead because they are my friends. I want to be better at playing, but I'm not bothered that two closest friends of mine are indeed better than me. As for my so called exaggerations, I can't help it, I'm one heck of a story teller. For the so called exaggerated break, I sent Mark out to have a press con right after I got the ban to up my popularity, I need the publicty.

If I ofended you in anyway, kindly reveal yourself in private, so that an avenue can be opened to clear things up.
