Default Re: Can Live 2/4 be beaten? ESPN doesn\'t seem to think so...

Dear 2+2'ers
I personally don't think we should attack this journalist for his poker article. He writes for a website, magazine, and television station that reaches millions. The fact is he is a journalist, not a poker player. So when he claims to be a " no-limit, tournament-style specialist " he is still a journalist who won a few act 1's at Foxwoods. He probably has worked for ESPN for awhile and when the poker craze hit he bought Super System first so he became the poker researcher at ESPN . So if he reaches thousands of people with his well written, poorly researched articles, I say let the fish swim. Right on up to the 5-10 table where its the same type of people with a little more money. Also, if he plays like he described he should as well.
I just hope nobody sent him e-mails trying to correct his game. I am a frequent visitor to Foxwoods and I hope that everybody who plays and thinks the way Peter Newmann does goes as well.
