My bad!!

FT already announced they will raise the min BIs on the "normal" tables. The big questions are: 1) how much they raise the BI to and 2) how they will accomodate smaller BIs - either thru cap games or tables marked "S". They are supposed to announce details and/or implement the middle of this month.

What I find amusing about making fun of other regs is that everyone here has a win rate between 1.5 and 3.5 (ie a very narrow range). It's really splitting hairs to say someone "sucks". :-)

Esp since a few changes in anyone's game or a change in the overall play of the games can cause one to move from the bottom to the top of the range and vice versa. And we've all seen plenty of examples of both.

Anyway, carry on! :-)

FTP players suck! Now start the PS vs FTP debateeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Troll, what your screen name?

^^^ oh snap! How did Ranka get into my 2+2 acct?!? :-)

I take offense to this as my winrate at 400nl so far is an extremely pedestrian .65 .

In all seriousness, the 'suck' discussion is interesting because it is all relative. Does a 2 ptbb/100 winner at 400nl 'suck' compared to a 4 ptbb/100 winner at 2000nl? Sure, but it doent mean the former is a bad player. Given that the vast majority of players (some say up to 90%) are losers, just to be able to beat a mid-stakes game implies a certain degree of competence, and to beat it at a decent clip like 2-4 ptbb/100 means even more. Are these types of winners the 'best' or most creative players? Maybe not, but to say they suck seems a bit unfair.

Last night I went to an AHL game (hockey's top minor league - the equivalent to Triple A baseball), and was commenting that the players, compared to the overwhelming majority of hockey players across the planet, are amazing. I mean, these guys are terrific players. However, compared to the guys at the NHL they don't look very good at all. Harkening back to the previous discussion, do they 'suck'? Not at all. The only context in which they suck is when you compare them to the people at the next level up.

Hope this makes some sense. I'm breathing chlorine vapor at the inddor pool of our hotel and might have a seizure soon.

You all suck imo, except Phil Ivey.

knightfan confirmed shortstacker

petteytheft @ PS
RobSainter @ FTP

everyone might have relatively close winrates but i'm sure all of you are like 'yea but if i didn't tilt or if i cut out all the dumb **** i did i'd be best evaaaaaaaaaa'

Wasn't it Einstin who said that everything is relative?

About all the suck talk, the truth is that everybody in here are all terrific players. There aren't many people who beat midstakes and up. Even breakeven people at midstakes are better than 99.5% of all poker players. But hey, waving that E-peen and pretending that everybody else here sucks is fun.

Lol. Does not compute. :-)

Thats funny on so many levels

amazing thread so far.

you guys all suck

i hate to break up the love fest, but most of our arguments didn't start from ghetto sucks, I'm better. It's more like ghetto is ****ing scum, and then he tried to assert that despite the fact that he has terrible table etiquette and is a bumhunter that he is in fact better. I dispute the fact, but the more important issue imo is the fact that he's scum.

oh yeah, and I agree with eazy. you guys all suck.

I'm the best

oh yeah, and I agree with eazy. i suck, at least i did today =/

its possible i suk although i think its more likely that 5/10 is rigged

its definitely true that 5/10 is rigged

Don't get me started on 5/10

I agree, I suck. Just played like a total ****** today.
Three idiot shoves with the worse hand.

Xpost from another thread. Yea or nay?
