Whenever I see any of these guys make a play that I don't understand and it looks bad on its face, I always try to break it down and figure out what they were doing. Obviously everyone makes mistakes and sometimes the plays are just bad, but most of the time I wind up coming to a conclusion that further educates me about the game.

I've played with Andy before as well, and although I've never been impressed with his style of play, he makes it work for him. It's like thebattler33 online, I personally think he is godawful, but, sometimes, results don't lie. Can't make $ consistently in donkaments without doing something right and running pretty decent. So it's probably the same for Andy. He's just doing some things right n running pure when he needs it.
