Matts comment on youngsters at Atlantis
 

Yes, that subject line is grammatically correct. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]


Some interesting comments from a couple of guys named Matt about younguns playing at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.

Matt Matros:

[ QUOTE ]
One quick thing I wanted to mention about the Bahamas tournament: there were lots and lots of players aged 18-21 in the final five tables down there (which was legal for this event). I don't think that was a coincidence. My guess is that a lot of these young players never learned how to play the "wrong" way, and some of them have figured out lots of creative ways to accumulate chips in NLHE tournaments.

Another funny thing I forgot to mention was I almost got to watch one of those douchey, know-it-all 18 yrs olds get shanked. He's the kid who goes by Empire2000 online. Not very talented and a giant bag. Anyway he was trash talking this guy next to me who literally had a shank in his pocket.

I suspect they are both right. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Gotcha, grammar Nazi [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Matts (plural) + comment (verb)= no apostrophe.

Re: Matts comment on youngsters at Atlantis
 

Shouldn't it be Matts' then? It is still their comment, so it should take on the plural possessive?

I believe OP is using comment as a verb, not a noun.

SFO!

Re: Matts comment on youngsters at Atlantis
 

just by including that one comment in the OP, everyone has apparently completely disregarded the content of the post.

I'd be interested in some more elaboration of the playing style of those 18 year olds. Anyone have any insight on that?

Maroon's blog is here.

He really doesn't elaborate. That's why I included the second quote from him, as that is the only other detail he gives.

Matros' blog (note the proper apostrophe [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) is here. He doesn't go into any detail either.

I wasn't trying to be a grammar Nazi, I had a feeling he was right but still had to ask.

Even though the answer was in front of my god damn face.

Loose and aggressive, clearly.

Have you ever heard of anyone describing successful 18-21 year olds at playing tight-passive?

Re: Matts comment on youngsters at Atlantis
 

back to the content,

Stereotyping all the 18-21 year olds to one way of play is probably false. Obviously ZeeJustin plays different from Average Joe Teenager in the event.

The best part about the book is that there are so many errors you have to go to the publisher's website to look at all the Errata.

Apparently, it is

His blog is a piece of work, and he's made an ass of himself on the forums a couple times. Highly amusing.

Does this guy always whine like he has her mensies or is she in a bad mood?
