Even worse, his sig, "The Sir Pawnalot Postulate" is an incredibly simple concept that is presented like it's actually meaningful. The Dev Demarcation: The game changes from preflop to the flop.

Every post he makes we all see someone who knows very little and acts like he knows a lot. I was a lot like that and to an extent I still am. The thing is, the players that really believe they know what they're talking about when they don't can hurt the people here that are trying to learn.

Sorry Pawnalot, I know you mean well. You're me a couple years ago. This situation is a mix of the two biggest roadblocks to people getting better at poker. 1) they think they know, 2) they think you know.

I really don't mean offense to anyone. Losing intelligent players from the board sucks, but our goal here is to teach and learn. We're all assholes, we all have humongous egos, we all think we know something someone else doesn't. It's going to be a pain in the ass to sort it all out, but that's why we're here.
His sig has never even made sense to me, how the hell can you sacrifice equity, you have it or you don't, and when summed with FE is what makes decisions right or wrong. That becomes our equity. You can't trade or sacrifice one because of another.
