I personally found it very odd that he chose to leave the title the same, as there is no frame of reference for what 'almost there' means to the average card player reader-and also found it odd that he just quoted irieguy as 'craig hartman' without ever mentioning how he was relevant to the topic.

But whatever the case, great read and i love the fact that there is so much information there (as with most anything giga writes) that if taken at face value by a beginning/mediocre player...will probably end up costing people far more money that it makes them.

Man, I thought I'd finally escaped this sort of philosophizing when I graduated from high school.

I believe we already have a thread on this.

[Oluwafemi]

anybody with their own independent mind has already forgotten about this.

I must have read this 50 times by now, and I must say that EVERY time I read it I feel refeshed, and learn something new!

Thanks Degen!

Then you've apparently never run bad. Come back when you have.

yeah - and how about this quote:
"(unless, of course, you have a better hand than second pair, which is unlikely, since players like us can rarely beat bottom pair"

is he saying that all cardplayer readers can rarely beat bottom pair? lol.

seems like a sloppy job by both fischman and shulman to not edit the article enough for it to make sense to a new reader out of context of the original threads.

still a good read though.

Have ran bad (down 60 buyins), but i'm mentally tough enough to handle it, as i realise even if i'm playing good poker, i'll get outdrawn, or my kings will run into aces etc etc. If it wasn't for bad play i wouldn't make nearly as much money.

[Degen]

lol ok sorry

i'm in vegas and finally found a card player at bellagio, and tried for the 25th time to see if card player had it up yet, and they did...i thought some others might like to be reminded/see that it was up

maybe not quite a wasted 15 minutes, but certainly not all that productive and beneficial either. of course, that's just my opinion. some people make it out to be some groundbreaking material like TOP or something and it's not even close.

But you, Obiwan, make such ground breaking posts yourself, don't you?

Agreed, maybe not 15 minutes wasted, think it only took me 12 minutes to read it. Just seems like their is too much time butt kissing on this site sometimes. Okay the article isn't THAT bad, but is their really any need to throw it around for the second time? Ground breaking? Certainly not!

If anything about the editing was sloppy, it was all me. Shulman nor Fischman touched the article, as requested by me.

The text that you are quoting is, in fact, talking directly to the reader at any given time.
