Just a quick thank you to some of the posters who have enhanced my 2+2 experience. There are plenty of links I could provide to highlite their awesomeness and I'm sure plenty more will be provided in the future...

Tommy Angelo: His book Elements of Poker is a must read. His website is a must browse. His posts in the archives are a must search.

Limon: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/19...m-shyt-457839/ (also check out his essays).

Cero_z: http://archives2.twoplustwo.com/show...fpart=all&vc=1 (also check out every one of his strategy posts).

Ray Zee: The old school archives are full of Zee gold. His split games book still ranks at the top.

Jman28: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/19...isisted-88525/ (to this day, his G-bucks article is one of the best theoretical writings ever written).

MLG: http://archives1.twoplustwo.com/show...&PHPSESSID=and http://archives1.twoplustwo.com/show...fpart=all&vc=1 (always one to take the time when posting)

Strassa: http://archives1.twoplustwo.com/show...fpart=all&vc=1 (a terrific MTT poster back in the day)

VanVeen: Just find any one of his posts and tell me they aren't brilliant.

Quick shout outs to El Diablo/Ulysses, Matt Flynn, Srendi Vashtar, ML4L, neon, BobboFitos, Samoleus, MDMA, LearnedfromTV, riverboatking, fslexcduck, Ansky, MagicNinja, Lefort, cl0r0x70, CitizenJames, Proofrock

I encourage anyone to search the archives of these posters for some really terrific content. Each one has a unique approach to the game and style of posting and I have learned much from them all.

So thank you.

thanks man. your posts arent too shabby either... This list is proof there is still intelligent life at 2+2

Shout out to jlocdoc for doing a tremendous job modding

Thanks for your valuable contributions to this community.

Thanks, man. nh

Nice finds, I learned a lot from these guys too. Hard to find the same quality anymore.

I ordered the Tommy Angelo book; didn't know he wrote a book but heard a lot of guys say is coaching style is very good albiet unusual.

Best poker book I've ever read, except for one paragraph in Sklansky's book where he explains the Fundamental Theory of Poker.

it's a good book, but anyone who's ever sat down and thought about poker and meta and longterm for any length of time already knows most of it inherently

This book called High Performance Trading is pretty good. It's about trading, not poker, but almost everything in it can be related. A good book to read in a slump.

JLoc, you've been a great admin and are my favorite!!

Good job.

Oh noes! I'm supposed to write a 5K post to give back to 2+2? What if everything I "know" about poker is wrong/bad?

While Gigabet is probably most famous for his "almost there with success and failure" post (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/36...ong-17/#post17) he also adds to this nice CSC theory post here http://archives1.twoplustwo.com/show...fpart=all&vc=1 as well as battles with Strassa in this debate about the merits of certain hands in a short stacked situation http://archives1.twoplustwo.com/show...fpart=all&vc=1

This was just a really fun hand with a great dynamic I shared here http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/56...nd-fun-438463/ with the X-post here http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/11...x-post-438464/

Glad to see you resurrect some of these old threads. I learned to play big bet poker from guys like Carl, Bobby Hoff, Billy O'Connor and other guys most of the younger guys today have never heard of. I now have all the books and benefit from the knowledge I've gained from 2+2 and I probably have a much better grasp of NL theory due to that. But I learned a lot the hard way from Carl (including why AK is known as walking back to Houston, or in my case flying back broke to New Mexico).

jloc,

Without asking you to do a well, any chance you can just tell your poker story up to present?

Thanks

Anti-Archive bump.

I think we can now add DGAF to this list of contributors whose creativity and insightful perspective offer up some great threads. A couple favorites:

Going thin: Live 10-20, river play
Passive vs aggressive on draws: 10-20-40 NL, ship or take the free card?
The 'protect your equity' controversy: 5-10 at the Venetian, call or fold turn?
Good ol preflop debate: Live 5-10, a big pot with ochocinco

His story: 2k- a poker story (wtmfl;dr obv)

Thanks for the bump. Not sure how I missed this thread the first time around.

Jloc, thank you so much for your contributions to the forums over the years. You always help drive intelligent analysis and discussion and I've learned a lot from you, but perhaps even more importantly, your civility and lack of patience for trolling have helped maintain the level of discourse on the forums. You are one of the greatest contributors to twoplustwo.
