Man i hate people who say they hate telling people they play

**FailureIsNotAnOption** · 08-20-2007 02:27 PM

BS u love it, theres something very cool about being good at poker. Only thing is its not impressive to be good at poker anymore. Once they showed holecams it was laughably easy to get good at poker, just watch about 5 hours of tv poker and youd know how to play. I respect guys like layne flack he was a dealer and learned how to win by 1000s of hours of observing and coming up with a strategy. Picture if u had to learn all by yourself like they did, and then some1 said oh by the way, were going to take away all your advantage at the tables by showing everybody on tv what you have on every single hand! are u fn kidding me! God the pros mustve been pissed. bigger prizepools yes, but 10x harder fields. That image of great players pretty much always having aces everey hand, thats laughable now, but we all believed before holecams, destroyed, image that they could read the two cards in your hand...gone. so if the "name pros" are just "pros" now and no better than any other online pro, at least show respect to them. Youd be much easier to play against if we could see all your hole cards tournament after tournament. All you guys making big bank you wouldnt have the money you got woithout these guys. So rip on him all you want but you wouldnt be here w/o guys like moneymaker, who you guys roast. chris never claimed to be a great player when he won. im done ranting. good luck. but stop being cocky about being good at poker, once holecams came, being good at poker was unavoidable if u could set aside 3 hours to watch some tv poker.

**Pelion** · 08-20-2007 03:01 PM

lol. tv poker is an incredibly biased view of a poker game because it is edited to show the "action hands". If you learn poker by watching 5 hours of tv poker you probably bluff far too much and suck... just like the online fish we love to play against.

I have now re-read the title 4 times and still have absolutely no idea what it means?

**Chopper** · 08-20-2007 04:40 PM

yeah, i'm pretty sure there were some books copywritten before moneymaker won the WSOP.

anyone who wanted to learn could have.

the tv just let all the fish swim downstream.

lol, the competition is 10x easier if anything. Its just wading through 1000's of people instead of a few hundred.

fo sho

The poker boom is good for poker pros. Think about what that means.

**Chopper** · 08-20-2007 07:13 PM

if only the top 10% (generous) players in a tourney are elite pros, and if the influx of new players allows that percentage to stay the same (again, generous), then, 90% of all players are donkeys...to the pros.

they will say...THE MORE THE MERRIER. 1,000,000 new players...900,000 new donkeys. now, its, "where can i find them? online? live? hell, they are everywhere. yippee!!"

they realize their variances may go up substantially, but they will increase their bankrolls accordingly, as all but matasow have that part of the game figured out, imo.

I hate it when people know I play poker.

HOW MUCH DO YOU WIN?
None of your fucking business.
