You state detailed characteristics about "2+2 pros" and their dillusions, living situation, dreams etc and take a stance that you're above it all. When in fact you know nothing about these "pros". In my experience when someone provides so many details about a large group they're usually just referring to themselves in some way (past or present). I mean maybe I'm wrong do you have any decent results to back up what you say? Are you referring to specific ppl? Or is this just all bias?
If you can't tell it's not your stance on 1/2 I disagree with, it's a simple conclusion. But you're support is like diarrhea.
You've been a member since 2010 and have ~750 posts, haven't you read the stuff that is posted? There is a small minority of no more then 5% of the posters who know what they are doing, the rest either don't know/understand how to behave in a money market or are delusional; I'd say most are delusional since they don't ask the right questions. Instead you have a herd of people who are dreaming about making it big when fact is that the probably could live very comfortable of the 5/10 games. I really don't know what is going on with most poker kids that are posting on 2+2, their own experience should be enough to show that they need to move up and need to make more per hour. What I think is the problem is that most of these poker kids are kids still living at home never having had rent, utilities and other bills; hence they don't have a clue about what it costs to have their own place.
If someone plays for 10 hours at a casino they will have costs related to this, not only costs that are related to getting to the games but what about food? The prices at casinos and clubs aren't really good in terms of what you get for your dollars, or do some suggest you bring a microwave pizza and a bag of bananas to the tables?
You are wrong on this, most of the people at 2+2 are delusional and take advice from others that are just as insane as them. You have a lot of poker kids that will go broke from listening to much to what the
community has to say and listen too little to those who make a living at poker or have experience from money markets. They will take a it and get hurt, they will look for a staker and either get into the staking trap where they will be giving up too much to ever get out of the hole or end up as dealers at clubs. The poker kids don't want to believe this but time will tell, just as it has with internet poker. It would be nice if some made it or just didn't get into the hole but as it is you cannot save a fool from himself.
Most poker kids would do good to take some of their winnings and pay a professional adviser as to how they should treat their money. Problem is that most of these are sales agents for various services that are provided and hence will pitch these instead of giving real useful advice. The poker kids are alone in their adventure since the few who try to give any decent advice drown in the **** that is posted by delusional people who think they are going to pack their bag, move to Vegas and take the money from people they have seen on some poker show.
