Re: Alan Goerhing

To be honest, he sounds like another person who has convinced themselves they can beat roulette with their amazing system and now he is trying to keep it secret. Is it possible that he has a lot of underlying super poker theory that makes it correct to minraise AA in EP and bet tiny the entire way? Sure, but it's much more likely he's another tournament donk riding the positive side of variance. Notice he doesn't play in cash games and I believe he said he has only played in around 50 tournaments.

At first glance I can see how his post can seem like he is winning via a secret potion or something. However, I think it is more a matter that Alan is attributing his abilities more to "personality" (or an inherent aspect of his character) rather than something that can be taught. I don't think he is saying he has a supersystem, but is instead saying something along the lines of his winning is related to something inherent that he cannot explain. And while he has only played in 50 tourney's the fact that he has very good results. Variance doesn't make people win several major event (although it can boost one's results).
