This is such a bad idea on every level.

1. If you want him to succeed, then don't compete against him.
2. If your goal is to chip-dump, then you are helping everyone at the table, bloating pots and actually decreasing his chances.
3. If you want to collude, you risk your (and his) account being frozen.
4. If you want to bust him or make his quest more difficult, then that is -$EV - TimeEV and just plain spiteful.
5. If you skew his results by playing soft, then it impedes his honest progress.
6. If he plays better than you, and you play your best game, then he deserves your money. As it should be.
7. If you play better, then you deserve his money. As it should be.

Cheer him on, jeer him on. Whatever. But none of the above are reasons to play limits or a style other than what you would do under normal circumstances.

Plenty of players out there want to try what Wicks is trying. Just because he has been the one of 1,387,845,384 identified shouldn't change how your game is played.

Hey Don King, tell wicks once he is committed to a pot to get the rest in on the turn in case he is ahead.

LMAO ty for amusing me. I was hoping you would read the sarcasim in my post. You honestly deserve to be ranked up there with Don King. You guys are great and I love reading about the journey everyday. I can agree with many others here that it has given me the motivation to play a lot more than I have been. GL as the quest continues.

I don't even read hand analysis posts anymore I am so addicted to this thread. Wicks going pro is the demise of my poker career.
