Why can't we talk about players?

[banana182]

In my opinion, the players are irrelevant.

If you want to play +EV winning poker in the long run, the focus should be on YOUR play and ensuring that you are making good decisions with hands. If you do that, it doesn't matter if you're facing the fishiest fish or Phil Ivey.

Badmouthing other players or breaking down the styles of other players will not help you improve or make good decisions.
