    <p>Isn't it in bad taste to say you won the FTOPs event and mention the car u bought with it?</p>

    <p>jeffboski.</p>
    <p>Yeah its kinda bad to say but he didnt just say "I bought a lexus after I won just cause I could." This whole article was about setting goals and reaching them. By talking about buying a car, the lexus became the image of his accomplished goal. It wasnt just to brag.</p>

    <p>This article comes across as kind of self-loving.  Basically you tell us about all the big live tournaments you've been to and how you went deep in some of them.  Oh and you bought a nice car.  So what?</p>

    <p>I read the article looking for something along the lines of, 'Also, mad props to JJ Prodigy for his help during the $300 FTOPS tourney'.  Weird, I didn't see any mention, I'm confused.</p>

    <p>Great article, really enjoyed it.</p>
    <p>I dont mind people that brag about major life accomplishements- Im happy for them, not jealous! !  I always like hearing about success stories etc etc.</p>
    <p>I will be writting up my success story (although it will probably be a post) about my choice of going pro and the success ive had (nothing compared to travelling the world playing a bunch of 10k and 25k events !).</p>
    <p>Mad props to Platts , hope u post more in OT.</p>
    <p>One question: have you ever been staked?</p>

    <p>I grew up in Plattsburgh, NY (I miss the Adirondacks and Lake Champlain now that I live in the Southeast) and it was a rare treat one day to hear about your success using the screen name of my home town (I think I first heard about your results through a PocketFives podcast). Continued success!  - and I look forward to your next big win! - Michael</p>
