I couldn't agree with the posts in this thread more. Mika is a total A-Hole.
I witnessed this in person too at a 14.1 exhibition match vs. John Schmidt a few years ago. That time he was whining about John touching a ball while cueing over it to hit the cue ball. This was an exhibition; not exactly an all balls foul environment. It sure didn't look like a foul any way. He was just trying to throw John off. Thankfully it didn't work and John ran out and won.
He's a horrible sport, an arrogant jerk and a black eye for pool. One of the reasons I follow pool to begin with is the players are typically relatable, decent and nice guys which I don't find in the major money sports. Glad he appears to be the exception.
I really love how Shane, John both took the high road with these obvious sharks.
Another Mika favorite is to make a big deal about an opponent leaving a piece of chalk on the rail of the table like it's a crime, pff... What a d-bag
