Default Re: The Ljubljana Conspiracy.

I've figured it out.

We all know that it's impossible to beat bad players. They don't respect raises, they complete in the SB with crap. A thinking player, like myself, just can't beat bad players. In order to win money, we've all got to play good players.

Sklansky and his posse kept losing to the bad players. So they published the Theory of Poker to turn those bad players into good players-- this would make them more beatable. However, the TwoPlusTwo guys also knew that these new good players, who are TAG, would need fishy players...so, using EPSN and WPT, they caused the poker boom and an influx of weak players.

The DERB style is best for beating these good players. DERB is actually Sklansky and the rest is a total farce. The guys behind TwoPlusTwo are so smart, they invented a winning style, TAG, that could be beaten by the DERB style. Then, they increased the number of TAG players by causing the poker boom. The TAG players beat the fish and then DERB beats the TAG.

I hate to interject facts into this thread, but the DERB style does not do well at all versus a TAG. It depends on weaker players, and irrationaly overaggressive postflop players.

That is quite the dream. I don't know what those dream books have to say about David S. chasing you with a shotgun.

I had a dream about the consipriacy during my 6 hr afternoon "nap" today. Sklansky had murdered abdul jalib and was hiding out in an underground room in 2+2 headquarters. Some top 2+2ers were sorting out the facts and finally getting close to the truth. Some other top 2+2ers were in cahoots with sklansky and kept holding secret meetings with him in his secret hiding place.

Then somehow I was at 2+2 HQ and stumbled upon the hallway which lead to the secret hideout. When I looked down the hall I saw sklansky chasing mike caro with a shotgun. When he saw me he decided to chase me and instead so I took off and ran upstairs and jumped out a window. He continued to follow me down the street and his shots were coming closer and closer to me until all the sudden, just when I thought he had me, he dropped dead. Shot from behind. I looked back and saw Mason, gun-drawn walking toward David's body.

Then I woke up, thats the best I can remember it anyways. I couldnt make this sh!t up if I tried.

If this thread was in OOT I'm sure the mystery of DERB's true identity would have been solved days ago.
