#2. Exactly how tricky was Laak getting when he killed the game last year? ABC poker WILL beat this game, and handily

While I mostly agree with you, it is worth noting that Laak also had an extremely good run of cards. He probably flopped more sets than anyone on the show (even though he only played about half the season), was the lucky benefactor of the Matusow meltdown (where he didn't have to do a thing), gave a lot of free cards to drawing opponents that didn't end up hurting him, and then inadvertantly confused/trapped several of them because his play was so scared.

Not saying ABC poker can't be profitable at that table, but it helps a lot when the deck is continually tickling your scrotum.

Thank you. That's exactly what I pointed out in my post about ABC playing can win big if they suck out or the cards run their way. I think some other people who replied simply ignored that part of my post. Laak made no moves the whole season (3 days of actual time). He was the recipient of great cards. That's fine but it WAS ABC poker.
