lots of hating on strass lately.

have any of you guys who say "i think he is a tool...etc" in these recent threads, actually met the kid?

jason is great at life, and he has one of the best poker minds i have talked with.

I would actaully be more interested in seeing a HU match between everyone talking [censored] on Gaucho and Gaucho. I pick Gaucho. If anyone of you [censored] talkers wanna step up, go for it, but I'm sure your just bad ass on the internet.

I guess I'll beat this dead horse.

It's pretty clear the blog post was not thought out very well, it was just pure emotions that got the best of him. He should have realized that by posting that kind of thing in a high traffic public blog the word is going to spread like wildfire, and even though he didn't technically mention any names, it's pretty obvious people are going to find out who it is considering those games are monitored 24/7. Also the general mood of the blog entry made it seem like he was upset at his friend for in his opinion playing poorly.

And I agree with CTS that Gaucho is extremely results oriented. I'm sure if Strassa had went on a sick rush and he profited 50k he would have posted saying something along the lines of how every once in a while you have to take a risk, I knew this was a good idea, etc.

With all of that said it was just a mistake by Gaucho and he has apologized for it, so all is well I guess. Lesson learned.

LOL. It's not results. If he had won, I still would have been upset at myself for risking so much.

i am going to echo the sentiment that dlp was obviously upset/tilted/mad at himself and posted before realizing that the post put strassa in a bad place and would be scrutinized by the whole forum. it's pretty clear he is a standup guy who just made a mistake. cut the dude a break.

haha yeah, i laughed at this too, but like people have said, dlp has had the tendency to be results oriented in the past as well.

Kinda surprised Strassa would need or want to split action though.

considering that several red named ftp pros who play in those games are staked, i dont find it suprising at all that strassa would rather not have 100% of the action. its a monster game, and although strass has done well, i doubt hes got 3 mil laying around to play right in that game.
