Explain. I thought this was a forum. My logic is absurd. Ok, that just like calling me stupid. But give an example why...if you can't do that, even in attempt to belittle me, then why would you post?

It's pretty simple, really - here's what he said:

"I was not impressed with his play in the first four."

This does NOT equal "I did not respect Patrik's game at all before this moment."

It's quite possible he thinks Antonius is quite solid, but played poorly four times in a row - in fact, that's WAY more likely than your inference (at least it passes Occam's Razor), and does not require the same level of assumption into aba's "mindset" (which isn't really on display here).

Basically, you're relying on faulty logic.

Well, not faulty logic. The post was phrased in a question. Now, I make an assumption that B didn't respect PA because he didn't respect last 4 games. Is that logically perfect assumption. No. Is it reasonable...at least debatable. But all discussions are based on assumptions. I'm glad you passed your logic 101. But this is not a phil discussion (assuming that all discussions aren't phil discussions)

Dear Salazarrrr,
Your recent posts have brought me to the following conclusions:
1) You have a mancrush on CTS, not that there is anything wrong with that.
2) You suck at poker and cannot win therefore you blame everything on the vast amounts of luck that poker involves. Surely it is not the case that you are an inferior player, the blame solely lies on the fact that you have been on the wrong side of variance.

Being that it took him 10 minutes to figure out the flush hand posted shouldn't be a split, he probably should stick to posting.

Brian is the first of a new breed of super NLHE players. He's the first top pro to come up through the 2+2 system and grinding SSNL. That means his technical fundamentals are far far superior to any of the other old school top pros. He also learned tilt control and bankroll management and discipline and all those things we teach. When you combine that with his natural intelligence you get a super poker playing machine.
