"David may be great at reading me, but he's out of the pot often enough that it doesn't kill me. "


That is an interesting observation. I believe David and Mason have both written about avoiding play against strong opponents. David by himself I believe would be welcome in a game in which I was playing. Maybe even 2 David's (if that were possible) But 3 or more David's and I'm out of there.


"If you're picking somebody to back in 80-160 at the Bellagio, you should still pick David over me. In a few years, I expect that to change, but I'm not there yet."


The humble words of a Fossilman. I suspect I would do well regardless of which I backed. Of course if I had the money to back you I'd back that guy that can out play both of you. I know you know who that world class fellow (me) is.
