So I know this guy who knows a guy who knows this other guy and he said he'd fold. I told my friend that just saying fold without any reasoning is completely useless, and he said "no its ok because he's got a WPT win under his belt."

what is the value/point of this post?

I'm simply passing on the opinions of two very successful tourney players, to add to the discussion. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong. Just trying to generate a meaningful dialog.

And its not a 'knows this guy who knows this guy', so quit being a prick. My friend is a well known tourney player who asked Fischman and Mizrachi just to get their input.

And frankly, if those two (plus my friend) all think its a fold, then there is room for discussion on the issue.

Sure if they disagreed this would be a more interesting discussion, but just saying "so and so disagrees" holds no value, and doesn't do anything for a discussion. The reality is you ARE ahead by the buttons range, but a fairly significant amount. So for you to throw at names with no real reasoning while it is intriguing that they would say that, I don't think it really is all that useful. Phil Hellmuth writes some world class bullcrap in his book and articles, so by just being a great player doesn't make what you write gospel.

If you would tell your "friend" that we all await his logic and explanation, then I would think his opinion would be relevent to the discussion.
