Due to the propensity of people on this forum to put words into my mouth, don't expect too many posts from me in the future. Is this how you got rid of Paul Philips?

Of course. If JD Sallinger came on to 2+2 to tell us what he's been up to for the last forty years, no doubt he'd be flamed for being the most overrated author of the 20th Century. Articulate and high profile-yet-enigmatic figures in the poker world don't really hold our collective intellectual interest. Your post count really isn't that impressive, btw.

BTW, I have a pretty good grasp of statistics, so I understanding all about insufficient data points and biased samples. I am surprised no one pointed out the non-static nature of poker players relative abilites over extended time periods.

Statistics NOT being my forte, could you eleaborate on the last sentence here? Are you talking about what we layman might refer to as hot streaks and/or slumps, or good players who start to play bad?

Also, since you are a well known structure-hound, doesn't it sort of bother you that the Bellagio-model structures jump from 100/200 a25 to 200/400 a25, thereby eliminating the nuance of the 150/300 level and a lot of the deep-stack benefits of starting with 20K?
