Seems like there's a ton of pro's now who don't have avatars. They should hire those guys you find at the beach, they can knock portraits out in minutes.

> pre-flop:
> tay raises to $700
> LucLongley folds
> Paul Wasicka raises to $2,100

The initial mistake, in my opinion. Wasicka is in the big blind, and even though tay open-raised from the button (the classic steal position), I'd just flat call with KJo (could possibly be superior to the button's range of hands, on average, but it's hardly the hand you want to go to war with.)

Raising here is going to build a big pot, while out of position, against a tough player, and you are really drawing to just a pair. And how good are you going to feel when you hit a pair on the flop and still get action?

To me, this is not a spot I want to be in...having a pair, out of position, bit pot, tough opponent, etc. Instead, Wasicka should have kept the pot small, unless he really hit the board hard (in which case he can *then* start to build a big pot.)

I think if Taylor played more and dedicated himself to it he could definitely beat 200/400 NL, maybe not be the best player but one of the top few

[/ QUOTE ]

I have the same impression that he is more into other things in his life than playing poker.

[/ QUOTE ]

Taylor always said he does not wanna play poker for living.

I remmeber aobut 1.5 years ago, he and Prahlad were playing 50/100 HU on UB, and Taylor said to prahlad how pathatic he was, and how he would never want to waste his life playing sitting in front of a PC all day, playing cards. Prhalad replied with his pattented "never talk to me again. Chat off".

(they would always insult each other b/c prahlad would lose, say "wow, you suck", and then more arguments, etc...)

This is why Taylor can't be the best at 200-400 and 300-600. To be the best there, you need to dedicate your life to it basically. (unless your PA)

I think, this is accurate, I play uNL so tifwiw

Some thought PA became the best without even trying.

They were DEAD WRONG.

Yeah just check out all the wild stuff he blogs about. No way he could fit poker playing into his busy schedule...
