The Ultimate Irony about the "New School" Players - Page 2 - Poker News

OP has a point. Owners of FTP are "old school players" and figured out the best way to make money once you can't keep up is to steal from depositors. sick own

Some new school people know everything old school people know and more... Why wouldn't new school be better?

Most of my eggs are in other baskets. Of course, I would still have preferred it if I didn't lose the eggs in the FT basket.

It was foolish to even put eggs in baskets. Clearly, op's point is that baskets can't be trusted. I think we should boycott baskets as a community. Alvin, you lead the way.

But then they commit the worst EV plays of all:

1. They put all their eggs in one basket (on internet poker sites)

2. Internet poker was clearly ambiguous legally yet they put a lot of money in them.

Well now, all of the positive EV they got from 3-betting, blocking bets, pot control, and other stuff the "old school" are too uneducated to know anything about have been wiped out by the most negative EV decisions of all: putting most of one's eggs in one basket, namely, online poker and putting it in something that has infinite downside variance.

What irony. When "old School" Doyle laughed at them they got pi$$ed. LOL

LOL

AWESOME!

Who needs math when you have 'gut feel'?

I'm not even sure what your arguing, players that don't understand the math and strategies of poker are better because they don't have money tied up? Most players in any poker game are losers/recreational players anyway.

I assume your just trolling

OP is a donkey. Is this topic worth starting a new thread?
How does "keeping your eggs in one basket" even relevant?

Oh and btw pokerstars money was safe, which is a bigger site than both ftp and ub. Just wanna add that ur putting eggs in one basket example is also retarted considering that the old school players like doyle that u refer to, back in the day also risked their entire rolls traveling to diff cities playing in underground cardrooms and sometimes getting robbed at gunpoint as a result

+1

I thought the same thing about OP - that is, that he is a bitter, losing online player.

How ironic that the online pros have your money in their frozen bankrolls, OP.

How do these horse**** threads continue to exist?

Now I'll probably get banned for daring to criticise OP.

Whatever...
