being willing to play at your stakes with a larger than normal edge (versus "bums") does not equal being ONLY willing to play with that edge

a poster a bit above summed up the common understanding of bumhunting well: it's not the sum of the words but the willingness to only play when you have a calculable and uncommonly large edge

Top pros uninvolved with business matters of poker that just make their living off poker despise bumhunters because they take money out of their games and the poker community. In the poker world it's really every man for themselves. As a result of this, they have to express outward disapproval of bumhunters to influence and dissaude sheep from doing the same thing... even though you should be as well.

This way, all the fanboy followers who want to be part of the in-crowd will all be against bumhunting and not do it and it helps to keep the games good. But when factors change and the top players have a business incentive involved with poker instruction and can now profit from these bumhunters, its now perfectly fine because at the end of the day these people are all motivated by making a profit and if Boywonder has popularity among the masses then thats who they are going to sign. They will rationalize it anyway they can.. that's business and you'd be naieve to think otherwise.

Oh, you thought people like AEJ were against bumhunters on grounds of morality and ethics? loooool. Hilairous how most people can't really see what's going on in the poker world. But anyways, sucks that you feel betrayed... top players are only against bumhunters bc they lose them money, so now when the bh can make them money its all good again. The people who dont bh though because they think it's unpopular are the real fools though who overvalued their 2p2 reps and missed the gravy train of money for no reason at all.

I can't believe out of the entire collection of 2 videos he hasn't made a live video yet. I mean, with a sample size of 2, it is obvious he is just trying his hardest to avoid live videos.

Seriously? I would understand bitching if he had even as little as 10 videos and no live play. But 2? You just sound ridiculous.

And lol at insulting bum hunters. I am sure under boywonder's pile of money in his money room is his morality is being crushed. Maybe. Honestly if you make 6 figs doing something which is in no way proven to be morally incorrect, how can you insult it. It isn't like those who pride themselves on not bum-hunting give money back to the fish or anything.

It's just idiotic to hear people bitching about bum hunting when honesty, even the majority of the non-bumhunters profits come from the fish. Lol at the moral elite of the poker community. Get off the ****ing high horse.

The one thing I'd ask is this: Anyone comparing them-- have they ever seen 10 minutes of an LA poker video and 10 minutes of a boywonder video?

I once saw 10 minutes of an LA poker video... he was good at repeating what was going on on the table, I'll certainly say that.

I have, and while I thought boywonder's video was fine, I certainly thought LA's was too and despite not taking many incredibly tricky lines he seemed to play really well and solid, which is usually enough to win if you game select, and he does on both counts.

I have no hate for either, but you famously hating on LA and continuing to back boywonder is a clear disconnect.

You should either apologize to LA, or treat boywonder the same as you did him.
