Re: DERB
The thing that's annoying about the DERB threads is that so many people claim he is a huge winner and thus it is possible to stray from a pre-flop strategy based on playing tight.
But when anyone posts a hand actually played by the enigmatic DERB, it's obvious (IMO) he plays horrible after the flop. Granted the posted hands are nowhere near a random, or perhaps even typical, sample. Then the DERB supporters chime with the basic argument of "you have no idea what you're talking about but I'm not going to explain why he is brilliant." Please, give me a break.
If anyone could post of some unconventional DERB hands and then explain why they are brilliant that would be interesting. Otherwise the only acceptable conclusion is that the guy is a massive cheat.
