because the bad players are masked here as good players.

that is the problem.

the majority of people here that are 'respected' are quite bad poker players in practice.

people who live on this forum and post everr day and all day, are the ones who seem to get the most respect.

the real players are at the tables, making money off of these guys when they do decide to sit down.

Those with the highest ROI aren't always the best teachers.
The best teachers don't always have the highest ROI.

Yes i realized this after I posted it.

I think that players who ar less than expert status should be able to participate but should be noted as such.

what the problem is in this forum is all of the people who people turn to for advice are less than winning players.

watch, i predict that there will be a few VERY LOUD and outspoken voices in this thread who rip my idea to shreds and call me all sorts of names, insult my character and all manner of other things.

i'd be willing to bet $100 that each of them is a losing player. this bet would have about a $75-$90 EV.

those with the highest ROI aren't always the best at teaching things in a nice, respectful, slow and patient way...but they are ultimately the people who know what to do in certain situations.

just like when i was in college:

the professors i preferred and loved where the ones who had the most detached view of the 'real world. there lessons have helped me only in that they have made me realize that idealism is a joke in a practical sense.

the opinions that are looked at as the right ones aren't usually that.

the people that present themselves as experts are largely not that in practice.

i'd say they should be put in one of four categories.

A. Losing player
B. Break even/slight losing/slight winning player
C. Winning player
D. Dominates the game


Prophecy only breaks it down by ITM% so this would probably look like:

A: <28%ITM
B: 30%-35% ITM
C: 36%-39% ITM
D: 40%+ ITM

It already exists. You just weren't invited.

Re: I PROPOSE A NEW FORUM: WINNING SNG PLAYERS
 

i don't want to make it personal. it will detract from the point.

those who are not in the pecking-order and should be know exactly what i mean.

those who are in the pecking-order and should not be are going to have a defensive reaction.

those who are not in the pecking order and should not be will either not care or will agree.

those who are in the pecking order and should be probably agree but would never admit it publicly.
