2+2 should make a new rule:
you may only criticize players if you have made more profit in No-Limit Texas Holdem.

[/ QUOTE ]

10% of their profits would shut up all the idiots

[/ QUOTE ]

I love posts like this. It gives the impression 2p2 is a gentlemans club where everyone can't criticise and you all pat yourself on the back and say what a good job you did.

If Jman ever responds to the threads about him/made by him you never know he MIGHT appreciate being told another point of view instead of his groupies and the rest of HSNL telling how well he played and how his edge is MASSIVE against the pro's who have been beating the game for 10ys +

ever think of that?

just out of curiosity: what, in your opinion, qualifies you to judge poker skill at all?

Yay no more Jman after this week. What a douche. Love all the fanboys here defending his mistakes but picking on every little thing jamie gold does. Someone even mentioned how they were annoyed when jamie asked daniel what he was eating last week.

I know jman is a poker god but why sit there all quiet with this huge ego like you're too good to open your mouth and chat a little with all these live donks? It's refreshing to see some players can have fun and talk while gambling for high stakes. Hell even brandon adams was more entertaining.

So true he raised preflop if he fires out evryone folds. Gold or Helmuuth mucks a chop and there idiots. Waste of time having the Nit on the show along with Brandon Adams. Rather see gamblers. Sammy is very entertaining. No way Phil G or Brandon are back.

Hellmuth is very very very very very gay with his insurances deal and all.Just the way he said make me sick.
Hes a real idiot.

if you want to see gamblers, why don't you go to any casino in the world, you can see nutters gambling on all kinds of things. you could watch roulette, for example.

i would rather see skilled poker players personally

[/ QUOTE ]While they are it how about sports message boards preventing criticism of professional athletes unless you have scored more points, hit more homers, struck out more batters, passed for more touchdowns.....

[/ QUOTE ]

or prevent movie critics from doing their job unless they've directed as many movies, sold as much in the box office, won as many awards....

here's a new rule: you're stupid

[/ QUOTE ]
And here's another rule: You're both stupid. The first post was supposed to be tongue in cheek (I hope), the first response clearly didn't get it and attempted a sarcastic response, and the post above didn't get that both were being sarcastic and shared his own biting comment.

[/ QUOTE ]You admit that you don't know whether the original post was tongue in cheek or not but yet have no problem in bashing me for making a smart ass response to his original post.

Maybe he was being tongue in cheek but it didn't come off that way to me. But then again what the hell do I know I'm stupid. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Wow, calling them both stupid? I happen to think you're incorrect. The original poster made his post in all seriousness.

Just to play devil advocate with the Jamie Gold value betting debate...a lot of the time I see him ending up with like top pair no kicker or its the end of a massive pot like his AQ vs Farha's nines. One pair after someone called 2 bets in a big pot...he could be worried about a trap or some kind of weird draw out. His hand against Jman wasn't too bad either because his opponent was probably in his mind a very tight player.

His straight and two pair on another episode were pretty weak though. And his river bluffs are obvious so yeah...needs improvement but its not completely awful.

You're kind of missing the point. Someone tight like Harman shouldn't bet in those spots because she'd only get called by better hands, and wouldn't fold out many winners. But Jamie Gold bluffs so much that his opponents respond by calling his bets with a lot worse hands. Sometimes as much as A high. So when he has a hand like his pair of nines he should bet because his opponents will still call with a bunch of hands he beats.

One of the main benefits of bluffing a lot is that you get more action on your real hands. But Gold doesn't bet his good hands, and misses out on that action.
