I thought it was an entertaining story, but yeah the "I saved a life today" title was just begging for the type of response that Derek gave. I can see where he is coming from on a lot of his points.

But at the same time, (Derek) there's no need to prove your credentials by saying how long you've played BW or read TL.net or whatever; that just makes you sound... well... like Rekrul, tbh. And if you are trying to make a point on a forum, bashing the whole forum isn't the best way to go about it.

At the same time, there are obviously some people on here who will take Rek's side no matter what the argument is.

I'm surprised that Rek is so into the "white person in an Asian country" humility, honestly, because some of his posts have smacked of that same type of arrogance. Maybe that is in the past, and attitudes do change over time, but... it was surprising to me. I'm sure that Rek can think of times in the past two years when he was just as much of a "fish out of water" as the kid who he's bashing up and down, and yet now he's seemingly forgotten what it's like to be in that situation.

It reminds me of third- or fourth-generation Americans bashing immigrants for not speaking the language correctly or dressing funny, when most of their grandparents or great grandparents had to go through the same thing. Only in this case, it's on a much shorter time scale.

well rekruls ego was pretty fucking huge before going to korea. all the poker winnings and night life certainly didn't shrink it.

this thread is based on a poker story. its painfully obvious reading this that people are giving pretty strong opinions on what happened in this poker story with little to no knowledge about poker
the fact that the guy is white has little to do with this story

i really tried NOT to brag or say anything about any kind of achievements ive made in the community

i actually made a point to just say 'ive played sc, poker, and visited this website for a while' without saying "lozl i beat boxer 4-1 and i make 2 millionz a week" and ive been a part of this sad community long enough to know who rek is in all 3 facets, that's all. i know if i hadn't said anything someone would be like 'an who r u fgt!!! u dont know rek hes manner.........'

Is it just me or has Rek lost it? He plays poker and enjoys losing.

i think the end was a little bit of a joke. ideally the life he 'saved' was more important than the loss of money

Telling people to kill someone over a game of poker. Then bragging about it. At least you've got your priorities straight.

learn2read, kthxbai

He probably doesn't "enjoy" losing, jus takes it into stride, because its not like he lost his life savings, and the fact that he knows poker isn't all about winning.

Losing is part of poker, so you get used to it after a while.

Losing isn't a bad thing if you're just outplayed or lose a close hand. When clueless fucks make bonehead plays and somehow win, that's when the anger comes to the fore.

Its not so much that he lost just the general attitude that he doesnt seem to give a fuck.
