Prove it.
Your theory is flawed and people that use it help me make $$$

[/ QUOTE ]

Here is teh proof... Jman has 6700+ posts and has been posting here for 2.5+ years. Obviously he is goot at poker.

You.. well you have 11 posts and have been here 3/4 of a year. Therefore you suck at poker or you'd have more posts.

With <2 posts/month, there is no way you make $$$

I bow to jman then... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I don't pretend to be a wizard and I only have a few posts, but the idea the overcards are a 3:1 favourite versus a pocket pair is silly. The whole argument seems to be two dimensional: your outs versus mine. It's actually three dimensional. You can hit your outs (6 YOU WIN), I can hit my outs (2 I WIN), or nobody hits anything (I WIN). Of course it's more complicated than just that, but the fact remains that the pair does not need to improve.

I feel for Canada Dry...

I've seen a lot of his posts lately and he really... REALLY wants to engage in serious debates. Apparently the sarcas-o-meter some guy sold him is not only broken... but as it turns out is actually just a dead squirrel with some broken keys from a keyboard glued on to make it look high-tech.

Stop picking on the poor guy =/

he brings up a good point

you have 3:1 outs, but he has 2:1 ways to win (he can improve or stay, you can just improve).

When you combine those you are only a 3:2 favorite.

This may revolutionize the way the game is played.

i love all the serious posts debating jman is wrong. i've seriously died laughing...especially when he responds to them.

there are a lot of people that need to figure out what a level is IRT the interweb


Jman,
Thanks for starting an awesome thread. Everytime it gets bumped someone else falls into the trap.
