If 2+2ers has such a thin skin that forum threads on other sites bother them, perhaps they shouldn't berate people that they have seen on tv making hundreds of thousands of dollars. It works both ways.

Hah, exactly. The bashing of each week's WPT players gets completely ridiculous here. I'm more disappointed in the posters here than angry about the P5 thread. In fact, the P5 thread is justified and rather amusing.

Yeah I really hate the way that people on this forum get so upset whenever someone seems to play "poorly", it's really ridiculous. I feel bad that basically anytime I post here it's to defend some random player at a final table who gets unmercifully criticized for making a "terrible" play.

I'm even willing to admit that some of Nguyen's play from last week was ridiculous (limp calling with 43o is out of this world bad), but this was a very special case. Too often people brand play as "terrible" in situations where reads and being at the table are extremely important. Also it's not so easy to just do the right thing every single time as a lot of posters here seem to think it is. If it was so easy, they would be at the final table of WPT events.

And it is somewhat easier to spot the correct play when you know what each player is holding. Playing poker, unlike spectating TV poker, is a game of imperfect information.

I thought Cory played excellent...I just thought all the dumb facial expressions and stupid faces when he clearly had the best hand were dumb. It seemed to me to be an "I wish I was Hansen attempt", although that doesn't like that bad of an idea. Just a small tip if Cory is reading this: Don't make those faces and then push your chips in. It's a tell. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I thought you played damn well though.

Their format for reading posts is way better than here.
