[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] "Poker is at heart a betting game in which players compete against one another for a growing pot of money. Players win either by getting the others to fold their cards or by having the best hand, ranked according to a hierarchy." Arggghh, NO! Players collect MONEY by getting others to fold or by having the best hand. [/ QUOTE ] ??? Collecting money = winning, right? [/ QUOTE ] No, not really. [/ QUOTE ] So you can have -BB/100 stats and still be winning? What are you talking about?
