I see that I have been officially made the third most hated man in poker. This kind of wounds me as you know I have big heart. It is for this reason that I would like to apologize to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/how-to-get-over-a-bad-beat.html\">Andrew Robl<\/a> for my behaviour in the recently broadcast Big Game episode.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I crossed the line with calling the clock on him and giving him a big welcome to the game. I like the kid and wish him all the best \u2013 he\u2019ll thank me in later years for this treatment \u2013 he will be a man for it. Robl learned that I am big crocodile with Lithuanian stripes \u2013 unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/who-do-you-think-you-are.html\">Vlad the Impaler<\/a> I don\u2019t go for the neck I bite nit heads off clean as this picture shows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Though I apologize to Robl, I still think I had a point about his nittish waiting at a bus stop behaviour \u2013 it drove me to distraction &#8211; it made me mad! After all, here\u2019s a kid that makes millions of dollars from the click of a mouse and he becomes one in the harsh live environment. He is merely a starter for a hungry and angry Lithuanian saltie like me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Andrew, you have to stand up for yourself or you\u2019ll get beaten and eaten by the bigger predators \u2013 if you just sit there and take your time you will get hunted down. Take this as a lesson from Tony G. You saw what happened on that aeroplane in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Someone packed a crocodile in their sports bag, it escaped and run amok.<\/p>\n<h3>I love all my haters, I really do<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What made me laugh was that Daniel Negreanu even called for the trike for Robl at one point \u2013 that\u2019s a bit rich coming from kid poker considering I still adamantly believe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/dude-wheres-my-bike.html\">he stole my bike and trike<\/a> after the PartyPoker.com Premier League IV. To this day he remains a bike thief \u2013 guilty until proved innocent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I also see some forum comments about the lovely loose cannon in this episode. Elizabeth Houston is a delightful lady who played for an excellent charitable cause and she showed heart and did well. Importantly, this loose cannon also played hard after the show so I have nothing but respect for her. And before you say anything, there was no swapping \u2013 I saved that for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/big-game-iv-at-les-ambassadeurs-london-walk-on-music.html\">Viffer<\/a>. Will I call Houston? Only if I want an ace from space!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I would like to thank the wonderful 2+2 community for venting at me for being too harsh on the young pro \u2013 I love all my haters, I really do and hope they can vent against me even more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That\u2019s it for now.
