ross - yeah thanks man, i slept on it a little too much. got up around 2pm vegas time. i always have a cool head. it takes a lot for me to get angry or upset.
eric - nah i dont ever second guess my actions or myself, and around lunch time is fine. if need be i can sleep in the car for a few hours and i promise no snoring. like i said it was a random thing.
alex - he didnt have trip Q’s he had a full house(three of a kind,QQQ, and a pair,AA) where as i only had three of a kind,AAAw/KQ kickers.
pete - yeah i do suck. nah not really. but yeah bad beats are only a part of poker. cant do anything about them. thats y i really dont get mad at them. its just a part of the game.
david - holy shit good to hear from you. thank u too man. yeah i dont know who coulda told you that poker is a great skill game and no luck. it was actually someone “ultra” who told me that. i was just passing it on. and yes Q does beat everything. i shoulda known that from the get go. i have troubles against one Q, its impossible to bet 3 Q’s. have fun over there in europe. go to everyplace that was in eurotrip. Bratislava FTW. get a Club Vandersexxx shirt too.
robin - eric kim, alex, and i are going up fri. give eric a call when u guys arrive. we’ll probably get there before u guys.
alex - nah i dont need your poker money. theres plenty enough out here for the taking. ill bring the chips. maybe robin will bring some too. maybe the poker tabletop. dunno where it will go though.
wojito - yeah i decided to hit up this world series just to say i played in the wsop. even if its only one time. tourneys arent my big thing, but when i do play in them i get far. im gonna start playing mor tourneys now on. and thanks too.
eric kim - nah i didnt enter the next event. i actually slept in. i need it really. there are plenty of tourneys going on i can enter. the have a second chance tourney each day around 5-6 at the rio for 500 each day anyways. ill hit one of those up before i leave.
shawn - yeah i got robin’d. i could hear the robin chants from nowhere before it happend. lol. i wanted to win the half a mil too. hell i woulda taken 8th or 9th.
Hey PVFP, Eric K said you were gonna roll up w/ me, moose, and Iraq Pat. We got a van w/ two TV’s in it (same input, so only 1 PS2).
Sucks about that beat.
I’m bringing Chips and at least some felt. I say we do a tourney Saturday night?
Btw, THE 3rd STRIKE event this month is the c3 sponsorship to EVO event. We’re going to do pools, another “Best of the Rest” tourney. and setup the head to head TV’s as aaron was talking about. Remember, 500$ sponsorship is on the line!
Well, I know that this may be a shock to some, but I have an announcement to make. I think that in all honesty that this is my last year for traveling to any tournaments and yes that even means local. Literally like two days ago I just came to the realization that the scene is taking up too much of my time and money. So officially my last tournament that I will be heading to will be the C3 tourney for the sponsorship.
If by some miracle I get sponsored to go to evo by either C3 or X3O(yes I am going to VTYME) Then I will go to evolution 2K6, but that will be my final tournament. So I guess I should start my goodbyes:
GT Crew:
Its been a great many years since I entered my first tournament there which was in Tekken 3, going to A3, CvS2, 3S, ST, KOF 98. So this goes out to: Will M(RIP), BmoreChun, Kikin, Renegade, Jody W, Wayne, Nakato, Sparatik, Gimpy, Victor S, Darick P, Estuardo, Eric V., Steve, Khang, Johan, The Tik, Rugal B, Christian, Ric C., Chris Li, Mike C., I never knew omar and Kris G. but I did meet Kris one time during the SF3 2I days. and a few others who I can’t remember right now.
I wish all you new comers the best of luck, but I have to start this hustle and start getting into some real life shit cause owning your own home and being single is hard as shit. Take care guys if I don’t see any of you at the next few tournaments. Peace.
Wow…I guess it was only a matter of time. You’ve been in the game since the GameTime days and that’s like…when I was just messing around in vs. mode with my bro and our like only fighting game playing friend. Time for the old heads to get that real life shit together now. Definitely been cool playing with you on Xbox Live and much more so offline. I’ve learned a lot from you and I could always count on your shotos/Chun to really work my reflexes in 3S.
Technically you are my rival for the C3 Sponsorship but I definitely hope you do get it as it would be a great farewell present to get one last chance to represent the 3S scene. Of course I’ll be out there on the 29th to take that sponsorship for myself (so I can show peepz the way of the shinobi) yet, you making it there would definitely be something special. Well…enjoy the house and good luck on the everlasting quest of turnin bitches into wifeys. I know there’s one out there for you no doubt. Just keep wearing the money pants and the girls will come. Represent shit at Evo East (I probably won’t be there) and whenever you get your internet shit straight definitely post up those tourney vids. One. 
you fucking bastard, don’t fucking leave me. -_-
Good Luck with life. And thanks for all the beatings and the good advice you gave me. I will see you at the next C3.
snuuk where u at man. lets play some 3s…
Man, I’ll have to head out to c3 just to say bye to you.
Good luck to all my people at Evo East. I wish I didn’t have to be in Colorado right now. I don’t even think people around here even know what an arcade is.:wasted:
Cool man, I hope everyone comes out for my final farewell from the tournament scene. It’ll be mad fun.
Oh damn, I’d hoped to get more chances to play A3 and 3S with you.
Ah yea, gotta keep your priorities strait though.
Hope life treats you well.
GL to everybody at Evo East
I haven’t played games in forever. Who wants to set up something before c3?
Dang, Eric, you’re retiring huh? Sorry to see you go, but I’m happy for you that your life is going well. Make money money, etc. Oh, if only capitalism were replaced with robotopia, where robots would do all our work and we could lounge in leisure all the time. Too bad I won’t be there for your final tourney though man, good luck!
PS Aaron is in… Colorado? What’s that about, dude? I thought people only went there to ski, and I’d wager there ain’t enough snow to do more than look gross at this time of year.
Jesus Christ…that would be awesome. Then I’d have an excuse for playing 3S as much as I do.
Ultra David…I’ll see you at Vegas!
No you won’t! I’ll still be in England! But good luck if you really are going to Evo, man.
Damn man, it was nice meeting you and thanks for the positive words. It’s really a shame that you wont be at my last gathering, but we’ll run into each other again. After evo me and Khang pretty much were discussing my retirement for some of the trip and he doesn’t want me to go. (awwwwwwwwww lol).
He says that I have to at least go to evo for the final farewell, but we’ll see.
