1) what is a "wsop player?" anybody who has played in the wsop?
2) is this a joke?
3) what does the statement even mean?

It was Dannenmann. It's replaying on ESPN right now.

Steve Daneman (sorry if i misspleded it) Finished 2nd this year!

I think he didn't call a big bet at the FT with Aj or something like that...

It does depends, but not calling with marginal hands is only a small mistake...

its obviously incorrect. not calling a raise with AA is a huge mistake. i think it might be correct if it said "incorrectly folding to a raise is generally a smaller mistake than incorrectly calling a raise." which was probably the general principle he was trying to get at, anyway.

Yeah that's it. I thought it was pretty interesting principle.

Don't take what Dannenmann says too seriously.
