likewise but i'm not making assumptions about you
i may be incorrect, in fact, the majority of the people all disagreeing with me is very strong evidence that i am indeed incorrect and so I too believe you guys now and am no longer arguing it etc etc - this was the entire purpose of asking - shocker i know that people ask questions in order to elicit second opinions to better their own understanding
people are just jumping in on the "i didn't play nosebleeds" comment
I'm also not trying to single you out, i also took a contrarian stance on the nl500 thread (which was misrepresented here) that also got pushback but then once sauce writes something echoing my own sentiment not only did people oddly not attack him for having the same stance but even more oddly also ceased attacking me as well
you guys fetishize the elite players so much that when they say something you'd previously ridiculed when others said it you immediately change your tune - it's just sycophantic, unhealthy, and it'll prevent any real growth because this cult of personality prevents you from thinking through stuff independently and learning on your own, you're just following the leader and will forever be 2nd tier at best as a result
so when someone you don't know who is a self admitted non elite nosebleeds crusher dares question the play of a crusher, you guys get all bent out of shape and overreact
we literally have a J high vs T high shove and call at river in this same thread that gained widespread praise right next to the flatting river with 2nd nuts- obviously, those are different boards and situations - but you get the point in that a lot of the mindset here is simply deferring to the authority - they played it this way, it must be correct - which I agree is largely the case and even when I first commented about davy just calling, I wasn't saying he was wrong, i simply asked a question because the hand got me thinking

this, this right here is what led to the ridicule, the fact I simply asked why he took the line he took
the "never reached the nosebleeds" was a tongue in cheek acknowledgement that I am retired, behind on the times, and was never an elite crusher like those guys - it was not at all to indicate I was a microstakes grinder who stuggled at poker and I am quite confident I played at higher stakes and with a higher winrate than many who are now tossing in barbs from the sidelines because I dared ask if davy would have better off raising instead of calling the river
you guys need to lighten up and think fluidly and not be so rigid
