Yes it means that I play better when there is no money at stake.

What does this mean?
Does you mean to say you play better when there is no money at stake? You could approach gambling as a two-man tournament if that is the case. Perhaps you finish high in tournaments? If so, what tournaments?

I haven't been able to play in many tournaments. I do do well when I can. When playing for play even against better players I hold my own and sometimes win. The last time me and Dan Wallace played just for play, I'm pretty sure I ended up on top at the end of the session and I'm sure that he'll attest to that. He's told me before that I play about even with Sam Manoale.
Of course it could be argued that when someone who does play for money isn't playing for money they aren't playing their top game, but anyone that knows Dan, knows that he never slacks off, he doesn't like to lose.
That last statement is going to raise a lot of heckles from the san deigans who visit this site, but I didn't say it Dan did.
CJ a really good young player out of Riverside and I are friends and we've played some all night sessions before and he laughs and says that with the kind of weight that I could get if I asked for it I would never have to work again if I could play my game for money. He says that no one that he's talked to when I'm not around has a clue how good my game is.
That's not entirely true. The people that I can name off the top of my head who no how I play are Dan Wallace, Frank Dabarber, Chris Rose, Louis probably has an idea but he hasn't really seen my real game either because we were playing for something last time we played.
I'm not saying that I can keep the title for long at all, because again we are playing for $50 but I'll try and I'll keep trying to take it back if I lose it.

I've been told that I have a lot of heart.
actually, let's see a few more who saw me play close to my game was at the la predator tenball qualifier, Tang Hoa, Danny K. Tim something. I don't know if OMGWTF saw me play or not. So I'm really to the point that I almost don't care....
