i didn't say i proved anything, but i'd speculate that the fact that seating scripts permeate down to 50nl, and people are moving closer and closer to the isle of man to get them to work better as a sign that they're pretty ****ing bad.

edit: to clarify (if you don't play online), people are so similar in skill level that there isn't a huge distinction between regs, so it's often more important to be good at game selection, which chases away fish, than to actually, yanno, be good at poker.

i disagree. just because you use a tool to get an edge doesn't mean that you can't dislike it or think that it shouldn't exist. for example, i've spent ~3k (guessing here) on training sites/books in my time, but would give 25k or maybe more for no training materials to ever exist.

a similar thing is going on in DFS right now, where i regretfully pay $10-$50 for various ebooks, but sincerely wish that they didn't exist.

The deterioration of the quality of poker games just seems to be a pretty basic application of the tragedy of the commons to me.

Doyle has claimed many times that he got a lot of heat for writing Super/System at the time.

bumpnrun hello again funny to see that you have entered another thread to troll and your really terrible remarks. When I saw you trying to derail a thread on where to move to play online poker with comments about how poker players are leaches on the economy and other left wing crap. Just wondering if maybe you could find another site to be the troll of since you don't like poker or poker players. Very negative people annoy me and hurt my feelings. Also I just don't find anything thoughtful about your posts. I have no problem with people saying things I disagree with. Most people disagree with me. I just think you do it on purpose as a troll. I understand there are some gardening forums that get really heated. Go there. I think you would be happy among fruits and nuts.
