Secondly, smug is not an insult, I know something about smug, I've been known to be smug plenty of times, let me give you a free lesson about smug though, when one is smug, one has a tendency to put their guard down, and when one lets their guard down, well, you can guess the rest.
Time for self assessment?
I know exactly who I am, I can be cocky at times, I can be full of myself at times, I can be smug at times, I've been known to have a pop or two to many sometimes, but.... when wrong, I admit it and apologize for it, and 999 times out of 1000 I do the right thing, marriage, carreer, and everything else that's important.
Self assessment? Yeah, I can post something off color every now and then thinking at the time something is funny but in hindsight is off color, and sincerely apologize for that (sound familiar)
So don't be thinking I am not respectful.
Self assessment? Three things, I'm not afraid to say "I'm not sure" I'm not afraid to say "I don't know" and as good as I think I am in everything, (and I'm fukking good) I'm smart enough to know there is always someone better.
Know this, and know this well.
I have never, as in ever, claimed, cried or suggested, fixed, rigged or any other adjective pertaining to phony here.
I defy you to go back the the three plus years or so I've been posting here to prove what I just said is not true.
I'm the guy who rides Mike Jamm like a pony when he goes on his rants about fixed, I'm the guy who says "yet Mike, you still play here"
And with the one exception with a run in with Justin, (and I will go to my grave saying he was wrong, but I digress) I've always sided with SBR on just about every issue, not just poker related.
And I'm not crying bad beat or fixed now, I am just trying to figure out something that happened in a tournament was a result of a glitch, software, what have you. I did not have all the information I needed to form a conclusuion, remember now, I'm an analyst by trade, we don't jump to conclusions, which is the reason why I was asking can somebody I work with, work with SBR on what I think is abnormal.
I know Dane is sharp when it comes to math, (I know you do as well) I have tech degrees up the ass that suggest I am sharp as hell mathwise too, I know the poker math, only reason I'm not playing with the big boys instead of being just a decent weekend warrior is because I have a lot of other interests I apply my energy to.
Once again, all I am asking was for an auditor that I know to look into a few things, if not, so be it, I don't hold grudges, I'll drop it.
Like you said, anything is probable, and I totally agree, but I'm talking about a series of events that occured that have the probability of happening like 250,000 to 1 odds. Like you said, if there is a one in any chance of something happening, it can happen.
Nobody is crying fix, foul, dirty pool, bad beat or anything else.
I know you moderators have a hard time sometimes, I used to run the old baseball.com with Joe Kaufman back in the day before they sold, that's why I give you the respect.
You need to stay in your fukking lane here, I'm not a donk crying bad beat, bad beats happen online, my buddies basement, and in brick and mortar casinos all the time.
I get that.
And I'm not crying fixed either.
Poker is just fine here, if it wasn't I would not donk around here.
Get it? Got it? Good!
Now I hope all your wagers win tonight, peace.
