B,B, or V?: lilholdem interview!

[Stake Monster]

i feel bad for the nit that is interviewing him, he probably cried to his mom after

[Mi_T_Sharp]

In the interview, it was stated that he dropped out of school in the 7th grade. Then, he apparently was in some trouble and spent time in jail. Then, he discovered poker, and cleaned up his act, so to speak.

Well, if that is true, then it makes sense that he is not well educated. And, just b/c he isn't, doesn't make him an idiot (just maybe not a good interviewee).

Obviously, the interview was comical from a poker content perspective. I mean, he is not good at articulating how he plays and whatnot. But, he obviously must play good. And, maybe, in some weird way, he can see things in poker that educated people cannot. I mean, this kid has a whole other realm of life experiences that none of us pretty boy college types could ever really understand.

He's sort of like that amazing guitar player you know that can't read a note of music, and has no idea about music theory, other than the names of a few basic chords. But, he can somehow rip out any type of music better than anyone you've seen. Somehow, he just has it. And, "it" is something that the general poker population wishes they had.

It is frustrating and difficult to admit that after all of the time you have put into the game, this uneducated idiot with a grill will always be better than you.

lol is this post a level?

trying to reinforce your whole argument based on this one hand (out of context, with no reads that you know about) where he raised (not called) and sucked out doesn't do much besides advertising that you know little about hold 'em

[snagglepuss]

ike,

can we get a list of both please?

[bulldogs24]

This thread has somehow turned into an awesome litmus test for 2p2 posters. Everyone I already thought of as self-satisfied, closed minded prick who's not half as good at poker as he thinks he is, is coming out of the woodwork to bash lilholdem. All the posters whose opinions, poker and otherwise, I usually respect are defending him. If AEJones wants to start playing tournaments, I'll crossbook his action against lilholdem's in a heartbeat.

I am starting to think this idiot runs eternally perfect
