Honesty on this site..
How many of you are skeptical of the results that some people post on this site? These are the things that I am skeptical of. A lot of the claims that people are making about BB/hr. What happened to that dude who said he could make $100k in 100 days? And ThrillFactor? I also think some people even lie about the advice they give sometime. Crap like, "ya, I fold KQs out of the big blind if its raised. There's a good chance you're dominated, blah blah blah." With the distribution of the hands I'm given at Party Poker, if I were to play the way some people on here say they do, I would never play a hand. I think people lie about their poker skills the way they lie about their golf games. Everybody wants to be good, but only a few really are. |

I completely agree. Thats why I admit I do not play well so I do not have to lie. Welcome aboard. Very cutting edge post. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

[/ QUOTE ] If this is what I remember, it was Ulysses's joke responding to similar threads about smaller sums in other time periods. As to the [ QUOTE ] "ya, I fold KQs out of the big blind if its raised. There's a good chance you're dominated, blah blah blah." [/ QUOTE ] stuff, I believe it because I've seen those posters (who can flat out play poker) do it all the time. Perhaps everyone isn't telling the truth, but I'm pretty certain that most of what gets posted here is close. Think about how many poker players there are in the world. How many of those are willing to spend the time reading, etc. to improve? This board is one resource, so participation here is an indication of a willingness to do more than pray for good cards. I think the percentage of winning and/or good players here on the board is much higher than in real life simply because of this. |

Re: Honesty on this site..
The $100k in 100 days was a real post. I believe you were thinking of my $200k in 7 days. I failed at that one.

Re: Honesty on this site..
Sorry, I was on vacation on that one with a mission to polish off 200 beers in 200 hours. I failed, too, but not for lack of trying.

for the record
I've never said that I play well. any positive results I've had only come from my opponents playing horrendously.
I've also never posted or uttered a truer statement. |

Re: for the record
You play good, my friend. I have always been impressed when I have played with you, and I'm not easily impressed.
