Certain Facts are Indisputabe:

1. It's possible that LH's sucess is due to variance.
2. It's impossible that he is actually very terrible.
3. His results have nothing to do with how good he is, it's still relatively short term.
4. Most of the people that hate him are bigoted morans, (ie AE) or jealous bustos.
5. He looks like a total joke.
6. He is completely sincere.
7. The word "wigger" is a million times more racist that the word "ni--ga" used in a friendly way, even by whiteys.
8. Knowing how to play well doesn't mean you do (cf: My career)
9. Those who have played or analyzed many many hands of his are the only ones who can tell us if he is good.

Look, I like lilH's style (for comedy) and I don't think you HAVE to be math genius to be good at poker...but do you really think that someone who doesn't know what basic pot odds are has any shot of being legitamate? Perhaps he was just nervous, I don't know. But isn't the whole point of what we do here based on the idea that the skills of poker can be learned? The jury is still out on players like Chad.

In my opinion, LilH's sucess in the long term will depend on him starting to learn how to plug leaks and develop a mathematical understanding of the game, at least a rudimentary one, AND not jumping into higher levels of play before he knows what he's doing.

10. I wish him the best of luck.
