Faceless Hack

I thought desire's response to my hacking on her was funny. One of her better posts, I'd have to say. I don't see what this has to do with playing poker though. I hear that many of the great baseball players were complete a-holes. Does this mean that the people you mentioned are more likely to be great players? I guess I missed the point too.

"Does this mean that the people you mentioned are more likely to be great players?"


he mentioned me. does that mean i will be a great player? i think i have the talent. just gotta work on the discipline and the bankroll...

I suppose my point was that good players seem to be on opposite ends of the "witty scale". Either you have a dynamic, outgoing and witty personality or you come across as dry and unemcumbered by extraneous emotional activity. I see very few average posters who are above average in either their poker advice or their play at the tables. Just a personal observation and I was wondering if anyone else had seen a similiar correlation. Or am I just seeing "monsters under the bed"?


Just another,


Faceless Hack

could be a good observation. but i don't think that it is necessarily this way. i mean, you can beat the softest games without an ounce of imagination or wit. and i'd call beating the softest games good game selection. but, perhaps wit, or maybe just a sharp humorous side is indicative of a whole lot going on in the noggin, which is ALWAYS helpful re poker.

glad to see that people are using my words to name themselves...

baggins,

I did use this name because of your quote. It is a compliment. That was one of the greates quotes I have seen on this forum. Keep up the good work and continue to offer me more great material.
