They're all blah and Fumbo is mega bizarre. I refer to these players as a whole as "oddity nits" cause thats the only general way to describe them.

I'm confused at why you think you're a poker god.

I don't think I'm a poker God so much as I think that everyone else overrates themselves and the people they play with. Basically the majority of regulars in any given level are bad up through 5/10 in my opinion. By bad I do not mean losing player, but marginal winner or worse.

To rephrase, I don't think I'm that good, I just think poker is easy because everyone else is bad. People simply don't practice poker as much as they do chess, baseball etc. and thus it's easy to be far ahead in the learning curve in this game, or far behind. Also there are plenty of regulars on extended heaters who play short bi rules and are susceptible to tilt meltdowns etc. (Which makes it easier for the bad nits to prosper)

I guess I'll just throw my thoughts out here just in case there is some value in doing so.

I find players like tru_dat, the minion and so forth to be very good regs. I don't think there's many people out there that should be wanting them in their game. For someone to say their "meh" is a pretty ridiculous statement imo. In response to that I would have one question. What makes you (too easy in this case) not "meh" to be calling them meh. What do you think you're seeing in their play where you've got the edge on them. Personally, I think it's an imagined edge. And even if it's an edge, it certainly couldn't be large. If it is, then I'm drastically underestimating this game compared to limit. I find it humorous when people talk about being excited to have known tight players at their tables. You're just not going to be winning much money from them imo.

I don't think I'm that good at this game either (to which you've already agreed in other posts); however, I have over 250K+ hands at 4 ptbb/100 (can't be classified as an extended heater) and I'm quite certain you'd classify me as a bad nit.

To put it in a summary: I think many of you players overestimate yourselves, make judgements too quickly of other players based off of a very small sample of hands, overestimate your "perceived edge" against tight players, and are obnoxiously vocal about all of the above.
