No Maroon love

[db9db9db9]

Why does The Poker Chronicles' Matt Maroon hate 2+2 so much?

[Sleek]

He hates everything.

You've got a link where he trashes 2+2 or something? (Got his book, btw.)

i used to enjoy reading his blog, now i might check it once a week or something. he really enjoys fellating himself as seen in his most recent gem:

"I used to enjoy them for some odd reason, but I really don't anymore. Perhaps I've finally deprogrammed myself of the "tournaments are cool" meme that I and almost everyone else have suffered from over the last few years. Or maybe it's just the fact that $100k just isn't as much money as it used to be. I used to drool over the prospect of winning that in a tournament. Now I think I'd rather just play ring games and win it every month with no variance."

*yawn*

Yeah, but he's also right that there's a ton of terrible advice in the limit strategy forums here. Recently, I've been apalled at the sheer volume of "don't believe the turn raise" posts.

His beef with 2p2 started back when the forums sucked less though. In general he was suggesting a high vpip/high prf style that to some extent became the norm in SH games. His beef with 2p2 seemed to be the same as anybody who has beef with a message board. He assumes that 2p2 functions as a monolithic hive mind and that people follow the dogma without nothing. It wasn't a fair statement then, and I'm not sure it is now either.

Just from his few posts on here and his blog, he seems like a pretty significant douchebag.

db,

I think it's mainly because he's jealous that there are a number of guys here who spend less time on poker than him but have more talent and have learned far more and are now crushing huge games like 50/100NL and 300/600 and higher LHE as well as dominating huge buyin tourneys.
