Having just finished the Professor, Banker, and Suicide King this weekend, I found it interesting that Barry G was not only a net loser to Andy Beal, but rather that Andy pwned Barry G from the outset and in every encounter.

This is not true. Mike Craig has admitted (on this site) that he was not as careful with his fact checking about this as he should have been.

Why's everyone jumping all over him ? He's an honest guy and says what he thinks, and he was answering someone's question on his forum. It's an open challenge if people feel he's wrong, then they should challenge him if they want to prove it.

I just read that book this weekend, too, ironically. And I mostly thought that the book WAY underemphasized the impact of variance on HU play. Quite possibly, BG simply ran bad. I really enjoyed the book though.

I don't know about EVERY game. I'd certainly give Annie the edge in PLO.

Isn't Forrest the one who lost a million dollars over a weekend playing craps? Sounds like a gambler to me.

I don't really see this as "cocky." It's not as if he slammed anyone personally, he just said who he thought he'd have the easiest time against and why. And who does he insult "constantly"? I'm going to stick with Dogmeat and his post farther up.

Come on. Is this based on any real information. Seriously this must be a joke. What do you know about the poker skills of either of them.

Its like i may think i'm a better poker player than you. And that could be fine and true. But if i went on a public and said i play better than you and would have an edge in any gam ei played against you would be bashing wouldn't it?(whether it was true or not)

No, it wouldn't be.

To say that you suck at poker would be bashing you.

To say that I'm better than you at poker would not be bashing you.

Its still bashing imo. Just less of a bash that "you suck"! There is no reason for him to share whether he is better or worse. He did so because he doesn't like any and Barry. They have a history.

Do you see chip reece get up and say. Listen everybody i played with doyle for many years and i play better than him in every game(even if true is classless and not necessary). A bash! less of a bash then saying doyle is a big fishy that has made me rich. But still a bash. As he didn't have to say anything and give doyle the respect to keep that between themselves.
