The fact that you can say that phrase and mean it means that I probably am, yes.
BTW, that last sentence is not meant to be sarcastic or demeaning, but if you don't get why that phrase is total nonsense, you are playing too weak tight. |

You're missing the point.
Without getting into a big thing about this, I'm not arguing against the idea that "putting your tournament life on the line" is a cringe inducing phrase, I'm arguing that the biggest problem with 2+2 (which is nonetheless a great place) is not weak-tight statements, bad beat posts, two words answers or even blatant, immature flamers. The biggest problem is ego, so tone it down. |

You're kinda missing the point, too...ego or no ego (and I won't argue that I've got one), if this thread grows to a couple of pages, two things will happen:
1)it will hopefully go away 2)a bunch of people will learn something I don't post threads because I want people to worship me or anything, dude. |

I really think you are pointing your finger in the wrong direction if you think adanthars ego is a problem on this board.

Agreed.
edit: though, not total nonsense, it's founded in something.. or atleast i just connect it to the thing mason posted recently, like how your value doesnt' double w/ a double up.. or how doubling your chips isn't as + as getting knocked out is -. |

In backgammon players often do suboptimal plays, since they want to complicate the position, since they are better than the opponent and want to reduce the luck factor. But very often both players do such suboptimal plays since they think they are better than the opponent, making it absurd.
I think the "I am not putting the tourney life on the line" is the equivalent in poker. An arrogant overestimation of skill difference. |
