these guys are def. not the cream of the crop. well, the two i know aren't. there are many other players who really play better day in day out. pretty much the same ones that play the 50/100 100/200 day in day out, with a few exceptions.

do you know sweeta personally? because i have no idea how you would judge someone to have 'raw talent' playing online with them. i also don't think sweeta has much of an ego in his play.

it's very easy to see sweeta is new to the game and luckily hit a style with extremely high variance and then luckily hit a big variance run because you can see him each day now adjusting his style. i first bumped into him at 50/100 at which he would _every single time_ cap the flop/lead the turn with any hand with 6 outs. then that chilled down and he did it only with hands with 10 outs. then that chilled down. and not long ago some pm'ed me a hand in which he capped preflop got c/r'ed on a Txx flop and dropped right away! his style has gone full circle.

regardless of all that he still makes fundmental errors. always calling down with pairs etc. and his river play is so unbalanced as he sucks as value betting and rarely river bluffs. it makes for some fun hands because you can go 4 bets preflop, 4 bets on the flop, 2 on the turn, then you could fold for one on the river. yes, i realise this style is the most exploitable style in poker, so i wouldn't be doing it against him if i had not checked about 4000 hands of his in pt.

probably too much detail, but i have no personal problems with us on 2p2 talking about opponents.

3betman, i wouldn't say basic standard closer to basic pro but i still can't imagine we'll be seeing him in the 30/60 next year.

brancajurca is decent, def. a step above these guys, but he has some tilt in his play in which makes him overplay + give excessive action + call down too much. otherwise solid.

just above these guys i'd class players like, AmIBovered, rarely does some strange stuff but generally solid. GalonTilt, somewhat nit but always A game. chawinski, has tilted once against me but we had about 4 hands on the run of sick match ups, good though. PeterFishBut i'd told is great. TuffCents i think is ex. great. feedmybong is 2p2 i'd say is good, above AmIBovered etc but below TuffCents. CookieCuttah generally solid. jaqueline111 i would say is v. good. etc tec.
