Default Re: Lee Jones Flawed Thinking

I too enjoy the different points of view on things like this. I feel it promotes a better way of thinking. Not just read and recycle. It gives you multiple solutions and you must decide which is correct and which is not. I also find it beneficial to understand the reasoning behind those opinions and concepts. However, not every player is able to seperate good advice from flawed advice. I believe the main thing Mr Malmuth and Mr Sklansky are doing is trying to correct these errors or at least make people aware that these corrections need to be made. Many situations in poker are "grey". There are also several that are either "black" or "white". Right or wrong. 2+2 probably has the highest standards in the industry when it comes to the credibility and accuracy of the material they publish. Wether or not they should hold the rest of the industry to their standards is another issue. I feel they have the best intrest of the entire poker community in mind. Card Player is a highly read magazine. A large error could reach many players. I believe the heart of this matter is getting the correct information to the masses. The personal reasonings behind any of it are unfortunate, but have nothing to do with me. I will not comment on them.
