Default Re: Lee Jones Flawed Thinking

Why is no one discussing the four issues I brought up? I would think that is a lot more important than whether I should be polite to mediocre writers.

I think your points are correct.
you are saying more articulately what I had been thinking before. Something along the lines that a 51-49 advantage on a push in this situation isn't worth it if we can assume that we play better than the opponent....and that on the 2nd hand of heads-up we shouldn't be making assumptions that is playing ideally (because he probably isn't).


I think there would have been more discussion about these aspects if you hadn't done some of the Lee-bashing in the thread.


You want to talk about the specific points?
Then lets just stick to the specific points in the first place.
Be polite about it and move forward.

The best way to show the rest of the community the flaws in Lee's thinking is to be professional about it and JUST stick to those flaws.

Bringing up ideas about how Lee is supposedly attacking 2+2 or that he just isn't very smart in the first place just makes 2+2 appear to be defensive.


There is little doubt in my mind that David and Mason's thoughts about the article are correct.

i think many more would be able to see that if they weren't so distracted by some of the defensiveness.
