He has a sort of cult following of a bunch of people that read his journals a couple years ago, but most of the people that have seen his strategy posts or played with him wouldn't refer to him like that.

Okaaay. I guess I didn't read too many of his strategy posts. Didn't know there were sour feelings. I guess I was part of the journal cult. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Anybody know what happened to davidross?
 

He definitely received some criticism regarding his limit-game strategy.

Some have accused him of being too weak-tight at times.


I played a limit game with him about a year ago and I believe he limped UTG with AK or AQ as I recall.
I even sent him a PM asking why he did that and he explained that he had been experimenting with that play some.

He certainly thinks about the game...but some of his ideas went a little against some of the more aggressive strategies that many 2+2'ers believe in.

Fwiw I don't think I would call davidross a "high profile poster". He has a sort of cult following of a bunch of people that read his journals a couple years ago, but most of the people that have seen his strategy posts or played with him wouldn't refer to him like that.

His journal is probably the biggest reason that we now have thousands of semiprofessional and professional players who multitable the internet games. When he first starting writing about it, there were only a few people doing this.

In early 2003, he was absolutely destroying the Party 3/6 games while playing a very weak/tight strategy. Of course, the games have gotten much tougher at all limits since then.

He's playing Party 15/30 and posts mostly in the Multi Table Tournament forum, often in the big party tourneys.

Apprently you underestimate the value of being able to make TWO straight flushes!

Re: Anybody know what happened to davidross?
 

He mutli-tables the Party 15/30 still. I play with him a lot. He's still weak tight. I haven't seen any bad cold-calls, but he doesn't get enough value from his good hands, doesn't protect his vulnerable hands, and calls down too light sometimes.

The table averages in the evenings have dropped 50 percent from that time period. I remember seeing plenty of 50+tables now it's one tilted whacko table with a waiting list 10 deep.......
