If that's true then I've been ahead of the learning curve for years, fyi.

I think more and more people have gotten on the "I'll just call and outplay them post flop" bandwagon even though they have no chance in hell of outplaying anybody.

[Jordan]

no!

speak for yourself

one time king1305 was playing me HU in a super deepstacked sng...

He raised on the button with Ace Ace, I called out of the bb with J9ss.. The Floop came JJ9. I attempted a tarp and king1305 soul read me and checked behind. The turn came an offsuit deuce and I led for the pot. King1305 Flatcalled and the river brought the 4th J. I put king1305 on a hand like xx-xx and figured hed valuebet/bluff the river into my quads...

I checked and he checked behind with AA


If he didnt outplay me that hand then idk what outplaying someone is...

That being said, if sean can do it...anyone can

Terrible article. Not only does he fail to appreciate the nuanced distinction between selectively aggressive and stupidly aggressive, but he seems to base his whole argument on the fact that the top 8 chipstacks of the September 9 describe their ME play as tight and cautious. But note the "about the author" at the end:

Notice how the word "poker" doesn't appear anywhere? Apparently he could write a book about elephant racing, though.

i agree with you completely except that i think its a wonderful article. this guy should have his own column in card player.

What about "luck"? There is a huge card-catching luck factor here that isn't really quantifiable. Is there skill in avoiding conflict? Yes, to a certain extent. But you can never, ever control the cards that come when a guy calls a 3x BB raise and then a 2/3 pot c-bet and hits his 2 outer on the turn. That is luck, fate, variance, whatever you want to call it, it's unavoidable.

By the way, UTG min-raise is the "new" all-in.

That and the check min-raise.

While you are here Pat, why dont you tell us why you went off the charts and tell us why folding is in?

Folding is in because then I get to look at my Manny avatar instead of my cards.

As for why I 'went off the charts', I blame you. Ever since you 4 bet me all in with like 7 high in that Venetian tournament a few years back, I've never been the same.
