You know Fnord how
well, exactly?
Gotta admire BigBoy's reading comprehension skills.
I'll give you the Cliffnotes version:
o No I'
m not advocating laying down or soft playing sets. What I am saying is that 1% is a horrible misrepresentation of how often you lose
set over set and how often a
set gets
busted by any hand.
o I
don't claim to be a
NLHE master. I just play reasonably
well and beat the game for a little cash at the 100 & 200
level. Discussion of win rates is silly because there is a huge luck and table/game selection component.
o Some people
post really stupid shit and I
call bullshit on it with impunity. Poker puts a real mindfuck on the human mind.
o Other people have very different views of the game and are very successful. I'
m aggressive in figuring out how they tick and where I may be mistaken. Sometimes I'll even take up a view I disagree with just to think things through.
o I enjoy logic problems and talking about poker.
o I've been participating in online forums in one form or another since the 2400 baud modem became widely available. I'
m pretty good at being witty and holding my
own in a debate reguardless of the merits of what I'
m saying.
o In poker (particularly
NLHE) if you can't figure out what works, understand the dabates and instead mindlessly follow advice, find another hobby.
