"Shannon Shorr blogging about how terrible players x,y and z are"

I havn't read that from his blog

He has slammed Humberto Brenes, Rene Angelil, and this is quoted from his blog "I was happy to see a very bad French player named Paul Testud two to my left though, because he is really a bleeder."

Maybe these people are "bad" to Shannon, but they do fairly well in tournaments. I really have enjoyed Shannon's blog, but he seems to slam a lot of the people who knock him out of tournaments when it appears from the blog that he likes to shove mediocre hands and makes wrong reads for all of his chips. We all do it, but if it's happening a lot, then maybe you're overestimating your skills and under estimating your opponents'.
