Re: Winning the Most on the Internet

[The Dude]

This article is filled with absalutely terrible advice.

I could spend several hours picking apart every little detail in this article I disagree with, but instead I'll just mention a few of the particularly terrible suggestions he makes and leave it at that.

-Don't Think... a few seconds is too long.
-Or to put it another way; if you can comfortably stop and think for say five seconds about a decision, then you could make more money if you were playing more games and didn't spend so long thinking about your actions.
-Any thinking should be done away from the table. (NOTE: I'm a big fan of spending time away from the table thinking, but claiming that you shouldn't be thinking during a hand is assanine.)
-In most games you will find on the Internet, treating all opponents, as one generic opponent is sufficient.
-You have aces, there are three cards on board, and you have the option to raise. Well, maybe another option is better, but can you really spend the time getting enough information to make a better decision?
-3. Studying the board, the cards, betting patterns, the opponents percent "Folded to river bet," "River Aggression Factor," and any other related information before making a considered opinion. You should never have enough time for Option No. 3

Card Player Magazine would be ashamed to publish this article; I have no idea why 2+2 did.
