I'm basically waiting for August to be over and starting fresh. Trying to play as few hands as possible. If it wasn't for losing when the money went all-in with me as a 94% favorite or better, I would have been up over 26k for the month. Instead I think I'm barely up 2k. This is one brutual game; especially when the marks at the table keep hitting their MIRACLE cards [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

half serious question - who do you guys think are the most overrated/underrated posters in this forum? i have my own ideas but im curious what others think

[kotkis]

I think that's a potential enough poll to warrant a new thread.

[aejones]

I don't think I'm rated at all, but I'll say I'm the most overrated.

[Gregg777]

I'm the most non-rated.

Here are some guys I think are underrated:

Parlay Slow - he's really sarcastic and sometimes you have to read his posts a few times before you understand his analysis, but he knows what he's talking about for sure.

viciouspenguin - doesn't post all that much, got owned by cardsharkk when he was starting out, limidonk, kinda crazy preflop and it's annoying when his A2s beats your KK; I think he's got a bit of a bad rep cause of these things but he's a very tough opponent and a good thinker.

yvesaint - so he's tight, that doesn't mean every one of his hands he has AA and postflop is boring. Everyone jokes about him being a nit but postflop he's tough and people always say things like "how do you pay this fool off." yves bluffs a ton postflop too and if you're folding to his standard aggression you're frequently dropping the best hand. Smart kid.

tcorbin16 - solid player, making a lot at the 3/6 games. I've thought some of his hands have been interesting but they haven't gotten all that many replies.

There are lots of other good posters (T-God, Tri, Jim, Dan, Kratzer, FeltBelt, TWP, phil, JSnipes, jfish, etc) but I think most of them get their props. I've probably forgotten a bunch of people too.

Not really sure I think anyone is overrated; I guess I just rate people low in my mind if I think they suck and I'm not sure how others feel about them.
