A compliment at last

Today as I was playing, Daryll, who won the Venetian deep stack tournament for over $40k told me that if I kept coming every tues/thurs, I'd clean out the game and it wouldn't exist anymore. I thought at first he was mocking me, but then to see his sincere seriousness, I was a bit taken aback. I denied the validity of what he said, but in my heart, I felt like that was the best compliment anyone can pay me. He seemed to believe I was invincible. Except that I ain't and I do lose, sometimes.
