Default Re: Gobboboy has opinions too!

I think you're overthinking it a bit but I don't really want to go into it. People aren't good at poker because they don't want to put a ton of time into their games and they don't have the correct resources to learn.

It's not about heart nearly as much as people want to think. The cards are going to be like they're going to be and it comes down to being in the right place at the right time. Hellmuth's image is that he's a nit and folds constantly so in actuality when he plays very aggressive and people play back at him he'll fold a tight range. His fundamentals can be off but his instincts are amazing, making his style very good for tournaments but not so good in cash games.
