Guess it's easy to see how a famous, respected and prodigious poker-somebody like olliejen can rack up 1018 posts in six months.

i was probably a bit harsh, and for that i apologize. but here are some things i'd point out:
1. the passage you quoted from the blog sounds 3rd hand, we don't even know if it happened and if it did, if it actually goes down the way its described.
2. variance does happen and the author glosses over a lot of factors that aren't accounted for. what are "her" hole cards? what are his? who else is in the hand? what are their table images?
3. you may not even be aware of it, but in exposing DN's purported hubris, you come off a bit arrogant and with an "of course, it's obvious! what do you have to say for yourself?" attitude.
its easy to criticize someone who puts himself out there to the degree to which DN has and its like he's being castigated for it.
