well, to be honest microbob, you can't blame the guy for trying. With 2p2 it always seems to be quite the flip wether a proposed plan pans out or not. Basically it mostly comes down to the first 30 replies to your post. If they are negative, you can kiss it goodbye and expect to be laughed away. If they are positive, preferrably with 1 or 2 highprofile poster giving it a thumbs up, a plan picks up momentum, people jump on the wagon and its get the possibility of becoming an avalanche.
In five years i have tried looking for a different red thread that decides wether a plan is destined to work or not work in this place. My conclusion: there isn't any. The red thread should be intelligence....but it isn't, mob-mentality cares **** about that
personally, i agree with you. With the little meat that goes around these days in the high-stakes limit games, it is far from reasonable to expect players to give up on the crums they can get. That doesn't make them egotistical bad men, that just makes them soloist survivors in a soloist game. You can't expect them bending backwards to help a guy that put out a loan on the wrong terms.
