If it was me playing that hand, then I know exaclty who JoeTall, etc are because I only played 50/100 2, maybe 3 times. If they are the "respected" people you are talking about, then wow. I'd laugh if they were in the game where I took 10k out of the game in 4 hours, then proceeded to say how much I suck. JoeTall, were you often wearing a boston hat or some other sort of hat?

Surprised Joe hasn't chimed in as you know he got wind of this. Guessing he figures there's no upside in it and he's probably right.

Would've loved to hear Noles take on his play as I think, along with DD, Joe is one of the "Experts" mike is referring too.

No knock on Joe, as I respect his thoughts, play and the career he's made in poker. But I wonder if I'm the only one who finds it ridiculous how that expert badge is attained around here. Saying someone "plays really well" doesn't seem to be good enough anymore. Laughable how Expert is thrown around here like it's Gospel.

I'd bet Noles figures he's made a lot of money from cash games in poker and therefore must play it pretty well. But making a small fortune with unorthodox play can still leave you a square peg in the round hole of 2+2. And Joe wonders why I sometimes call it a circle jerk.

FWIW - I think Druff's post is a must read.
