Well my point is what you were a little subjective when stating that Mike is knows about the game more than anyone who posts on these forums. It is a rather hasty generalization. Mike is a really good player but i think there are people who have a better deeper understanding of the game. Many of them are members of these forums.
You know I really didn't want to weigh in on this when I first saw it do to my relationship with Mike. I will also admit it disturbs me that he has chosen no boundaries on who he trains or seems to worry about consequence of it.
That being said he is far from a sad case as some others have suggested. On the contrary he is quite successful as a whole and needs no sympathy or pity thrown his way, he was a very successful BJ player that became a very successful businessman. Its unfortunate that his business success is in direct conflict of the roots in which he started and to those that are still connected with it.
As far as his knowledge and understanding of the game it is equaled only by the very best in the world. And as far as practical application of it there are but a few that can match it. Wong with all his knowledge can't touch Mike as far as actual playing, nor can Schlesinger, nor Blaine, and most big names for that matter. Yes their are a few that can such as Grosjean and Mikes mentor John Chang, but make no mistake he knows all there is to know on how to win at this game as well as being able to pull it off. There in lies the problem, I won't lie, my relationship with Mike has been strained, but that does not make him any less of a player.
