Zod back in USA now from that Isle of Man. Never flown first class over seas. That virgin airlines with your own bed is something else.
True story...I with Jeanne and she introduces me to stars director of tournament play and I tell him I know guy from internet who beat 16k+ runners to win contest. We pull up on computer and he says he knows the name "tyde" real well with a grin. Not sure what he meant by that but pretty funny. I have pictures from poker stars head quarters I will post later.
Anyways...
Tyde, congrats on score. As I mentioned of radio show, everyone on this site could play that tourney once a day for the rest of our lives and not a single soul would win it. I mean more people were in that tourney than the amount of residents in most cities.
Do what you want with the money. Have the benders of all benders. Buy the jeep. Get a boat.
I know you're obv happy but one thing I have noticed about you in all these years is that I truly believe money doesn't mean shit to you. You've said that repeatedly on these boards for years and I believe it to be true.
Whether broke or with cash at hand, you still enjoy the simple things like smoking good reefer out of the redbull can, having some adult beverages with a fresca etc.
Congrats again. Do whatever the fuck will make you happy with this windfall. Have no regrets. You're living a life most of us on here will never come close to experiencing.

Isle of Man brings back memories
Dad used to take us there as kids on holiday. Felt my first ever boob on that Island
Wouldn't fancy it in January tho!
Well done Tyde........Well done.
glad to have the first reply in this hof thread
Wait a minute... I know there was GIACOMO, but what about BIGTOE? Or am I thinking of something/someone else?
We should all realize that money is the root of all evil. We've all heard that phrase and it's really not meant to be taken literally. It's the quest for more than you need that fucks people up. Of course if you have nothing and decide to get something by any means you may find yourself in trouble.
I believe Drexel to be sincere when he says Tyde is "living life" while many of us are not regardless of how much money is in the bank.
Yes it's great to have a lot of dough, but human beings are the only species to take more that they need.
And if someone is in a position of wealth and has no thought of helping the less
fortunate then they are in some way poorer.
I'm not religious but Manny Pacquiiao is and he recently quoted this from the bible.
""For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"
That's sort of it, you can be the wealthiest person and that in itself will not bring you true happiness.
I didn't want to jump in so quickly after Tyde's big win but i too took first place on-line and now
I have to decide what to do with $40.00 extra bucks.
