Is this, perhaps, the greatest veiled shill thread of all time?

I propose that that <10% group get their own forum where poker knowledge, skills and experience will override familiarity, seniority and likability.

Really? Can a group of less than 10% ROI..... I was gonna say something about knowledge, skill and experience co-existing, but that would just be, well, ....do I have to say it?

Why don't the good players just point out when the bad players post bad advice? I thought that was what this forum was for?

because the bad players are masked here as good players.

that is the problem.

the majority of people here that are 'respected' are quite bad poker players in practice.

people who live on this forum and post everr day and all day, are the ones who seem to get the most respect.

the real players are at the tables, making money off of these guys when they do decide to sit down.

Those with the highest ROI aren't always the best teachers.
The best teachers don't always have the highest ROI.

those with the highest ROI aren't always the best at teaching things in a nice, respectful, slow and patient way...but they are ultimately the people who know what to do in certain situations.

those who do things in a nice, respectful, slow and patient way aren't always the ones who know what to do in certain situations.


just like when i was in college:

the professors i preferred and loved where the ones who had the most detached view of the 'real world. there lessons have helped me only in that they have made me realize that idealism is a joke in a practical sense.

If we were all expert players, there would be no need for a forum in the first place. You're suggesting that only the "good" players debate with each other to improve. How do you define "good"? It can't be defined as winning players because marginally winning players are far from perfect and still make plenty of errors.

By your logic, you have no use for players who are worse than yourself. Extending that thought, players who are better than yourself have no use for you.

Yes i realized this after I posted it.

I think that players who ar less than expert status should be able to participate but should be noted as such.

what the problem is in this forum is all of the people who people turn to for advice are less than winning players.

watch, i predict that there will be a few VERY LOUD and outspoken voices in this thread who rip my idea to shreds and call me all sorts of names, insult my character and all manner of other things.

i'd be willing to bet $100 that each of them is a losing player. this bet would have about a $75-$90 EV.

So I could rip your idea to shreads AND win $100 if I'm a winning player on pokerprophecy? That's a very tempting offer.

the principle was that if you did this, and you were a winning player...you would be a rare expception to the rule.
