I also learned from Scotty that you can play lots and lots of tournaments online. Geez, I don't know what's worse, Fischman's audacity in turning in this crap to CardPlayer or the fact that the Shulmans actually published it. [/ QUOTE ] What's worse is you guys keep reading that crap [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |

I wasn't going to read Fischman anymore after the first two useless columns he wrote, but then I noticed his newest column was on Online Poker and naively thought he might have shared something useful with the poker world. At least I didn't pay to read it and there are some good columnists and CardPlayer. |

Re: More words of wisdom from Master Fischman...
After Robert Varkonyis article anything is an improvement.
"These days, it appears that everybody and his mother are playing in no-limit hold’em poker tournaments: home tournaments, local tournaments, national tournaments, international tournaments, seniors tournaments, college tournaments, celebrity tournaments, televised tournaments, online tournaments, fund-raiser tournaments, professional tournaments, freeroll tournaments, single-table tournaments, rebuy tournaments, satellite tournaments, supersatellite tournaments, shootout tournaments, double shootout tournaments, multilevel qualifier tournaments, heads-up tournaments, championship tournaments, superstar tournaments, superstar championship tournaments, and so on. Poker tournaments seem to have become a national fad, and perhaps even an obsession. Why not? It beats flipping through 600 TV channels when you can’t find anything new and interesting to watch." Thats 20% of the article. It's like when I was in middle school and I would try to extend sentences to meet word requirements. I bet they paid Fishman extra for not doing that. PS - I'm quite certain everyone has already made fun of that article, I didn't get a chance to though. |

Re: More words of wisdom from Master Fischman...
Oklahoma Johnny Hale hosts the Senior Tourney every year at Foxwoods. So they let him use a poker table to display all the stuff he's trying to sell including his book. So during the break I go over and say hello and peruse the book.
I find the chapter that lists the two most important aspects to winning a tourney. And they are: When you're all in you; 1. Must have your hand hold up when you're ahead. 2. Must draw out on your opponent when you're behind. |

Re: More words of wisdom from Master Fischman...
I'm willing to bet he makes a semi-coherent breakdown of how to play in each of the phases. I like seeing Fischman get flamed as much as anyone, but try to put some effort into it.

I actually have nothing against the guy. Except that he seems like a total douchebag.
