But just to make sure we are clear on this, you are now saying that your advice in the thread was actually wrong?
As Epipen said, why don't you try responding to my other points...oh wait, you can't because that would make you look more wrong than you already do.
As for your comment, as I said, my advice wasn't "wrong", it was just not the most +EV decision, because WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER POST 100% TRUE ADVICE ON A STRAT FORUM UNLESS THEY WERE EITHER BAD AT POKER OR REALLY REALLY DUMB, and even that decision was better than your advice, which was probably the worst possible line you could take other than overbet shoving the river. The fact that you think levels are ridiculous shows you have 0 sense of humor...go look at the Medium stakes 6 max forum, sure it may not allow offtopic threads, but the stars reg thread is filled with flame wars and calling people out/insults and from my brief viewing of the strat threads, they are FILLED with levels and no one cares, because most people have senses of humor...but I guess it's hard to have that when you can't win at poker and need to use a forum to try and remedy that situation. It's also funny how you out only me for posting levels, when there are at least 2 people that level just as hard if not harder than I do, and many more that level less often but still a lot...but you probably don't notice any of it.
As for you making a living from poker, I'd be absolutely shocked if you made over 80k a year...if you consider that more than a breakeven/marginal winner, then that's just because you have extremely low standards. It's also not hard to make a living when you're single and living in vegas with cheapass housing...I don't see how that proves in any way that you are good at poker. In fact, there are people playing 50nl who most likely are making a living from poker also...does that make them good? All the strat posts I've seen from you have been suboptimal, yet you think you're some sort of authority on what is "good advice" because you're a mod?
Fact of the matter is, you ignore every point you can't argue with and just nitpick and post misleading information. How come you didn't respond to the fact that this forum has 1 more offtopic thread than the Small ring forum, or the fact that the only people who want to post strat are breakeven players such as yourself, or the fact that PRACTICALLY EVERYONE DOES AGREE with wanting flame wars/off topic threads
