If 100% healthy...Marcio fairly easy I agree... EASY.... On the first round against Chris ... The final will be another story. |

Wow thanks Rob; you think I can give Marcio a match in the finals, JK  With this format I think the final round will be determined by the first round. Who gets beat up the first round? |

Everyone going to this should believe they are going to be in the final or win it for one reason or another...
I would like to be modest and create a safety net by praising everyone and the play by play on why or how I can get tripped up.
I think most cases of modesty are fake.
In my opinion most of the time a guy believes he can win and can support it with reasons, but put him in front of a camera or the Internet where you can be painfully reminded forever how wrong he was... and suddenly the safe route is " I'll do my best"... "if I get lucky".... Blah blah blah....
Listen, I'll draw first blood because I already committed and booked my flight...
All things being equal... We all show up and are healthy and are firing on all cylinders... I TAKE IT ALL... Convincingly !!
For all the other guys, I don't blame you one bit if you feel the same, the match is on... It will only be speculation for a short time..
Might as well call it like it is... I'd hate to think of anyone getting on a plane just to give it the ol college try.

Funny thing Rob is I am the guy that always has doubts. I am getting confident at most tourneys but this is a new level of comp for me.
I will say “I will try my best” and I do mean that. But the only thing I am TRULY confident of is that I will not get any easier to beat with time. I work my a$$ of six day a week in the gym and pull with some of the best in the country. I am not doing this just to be average.
So let’s play. Win or lose. I will continue to improve.

^^^ of course and my statement wasn't directly aimed at you....
I know you are progressing rapidly and I am coming from a long layoff... Makes it real interesting...
But getting in my own head has plagued me too... Made me a catcher because I was convinced I was gonna get smoked...
I figure if you are progressing, training hard and taking all the steps... Why have doubts ?
This is the headset I have to have to be more table aggressive, but I get where you are at.. I still kick around that playground from time to time. I went to a fair tournament and couldn't eat the night before... Wtf?!...
At some point you gotta give yourself an honest shake.
