[Tom Martell]

In my opinion, this is the most understandable and, for the most part, reasonable argument you have made. I believe there is some factual support that he had established himself as a successful lower limit player - he funded several trips to vegas from Canada to take a stab at the games there, lost his roll, returned home, rebuilt, etc. He made attempts to move up and eventually did.

But you can certainly draw from this factual pool that he has not crossed the necessary threshold of proof to qualify as a successful player at this game. We just have different burdens of proof in that case.
