We need fewer of these illogical asides on the board.

I like you Barron, but I have no idea what you mean by that.
Is one not allowed to make a funny?

I think luck was a big part of the PSI, and generally that fits with Gus's style. I'm not a Gus hater by any means. I think he's a smart player.

just b/c barry greenstein said it doesn't make it so. i really respect him, and i don't want to bash him. but if we compare psi to any other single table tournament, i'd like someone to explain to me how, relatively, this could be called a crapshoot.

in any other stt, you go in with AA, and 55 hits one of its 2 outs, and you get to say crapshoot.

in psi, you come back the next day, and the cost is a bit of position.

You're right, but I'll trust his opinion over yours.
Thanks.

Then you would have to ask Mr. Greenstein. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

In what way?

I already told you that I'm not aware of the structure myself.
So I can't answer your question exactly, and was just responding to your other comments.

Again, I was just quoting someone, and not trying to argue with you. You might consider drinking less coffee tomorrow.

with the talent at that table would you say more luck was involved anyway? just curious.

Would I say that?

Of course!

But I'm guessing that's not what Greenstein was talking about.

[tdarko]

i knew you werent saying that just wanted to open that up for discussion, kind of curious if you thought any one player was a heavier favorite than another based on the format of the game.
i thought this format actually favored Gus if he was able to get a win early.

wow...that didn't take long to get off topic!
