Re: Kinsman1josh / Fobol on Party 10/20 Stud8
I have been reading, and thinking a lot lately about what makes an average poker player into a huge winner(like this guy) and I have come to the conclusion that adjusting to your opponents play is far more important that everyone really believes. There have been posts about this lately in the Mid-Hi limit forum and this idea of adjusting to the texture of the game and your opponents obviously applies to all forms of poker. It's possible this guy is just on a mega heater, but it is also possible this guy sees a lot of angles that people like myself do not. The more I read about the 30-60 game and now this guy crushing the 10-20 the more it makes me believe adjusting to your opponents style of play and having excellent hand reading ability is much more important in stud8 than in many other games. I also had to open my eyes last week when I played in this stud8 game on PR where I lost 100BBs playing against idiots. I certainly ran terrible but I also did a terrible job of adjusting to their style of play. I just kept on trying to run them over and they kept on calling. What I am trying to say is that this guy could certainly just be playing a style of poker that we havent opened our eyes to yet. The first thing that comes to mind while I type this are the DERB posts. I know almost nothing about this situation but I have a feeling you believe this guy is the DERB of the 10-20 8 game
