Josh Arieh Interview

[aaronjacobg]

So you would listen to whatever anyone who came in third would say? What are you basing his credibility on, one tournament? No one gets endless credibility but if i were to take one person's word over the others, i go with the seasoned pro, not the 3.5 million dollar man

I hear ya slick. Just a few thoughts, Josh wins alot of pots by sheer aggressiveness, whcih allows him to gamble more and thus appear luckier than most people. Same thing with Doyle.

Its very possible he has a deep understanding of what it takes to be a success in tourneys..something that even the likes of someone like DS will never comprehend. An intangible, like Joe Montana always leading a comeback. In his mind, he is this type of talent and his results have been backing it up.

[pipes]

I think many people do not get the gist of what I am saying. I actually agree with the likes of Greenstein and Reese that cash games are more lucrative.

But in Josh's mind, tourneys are greater EV for him. Who can argue against that with his recent performance.

[slickpoppa]

If anything, the fact that he has 3.5 mil sitting around makes tourneys even less EV than cash games because now he has the bankroll for the high stakes cash games. And may I remind you than EV stands for expectation value. Past results are not a factor in the equation. I know you undertand what I'm saying Jake, but some people may not.

So is anyone who finished below Erin Ness in the WSOP unable to argue with her?

From IMDB:

Ripley: How long after we're declared overdue can we expect a rescue?
Hicks: Seventeen days.
Hudson: *Seventeen days?* Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen hours! Those things are gonna come in here just like they did before. And they're gonna come in here...
Ripley: Hudson!
Hudson: ...and they're gonna come in here AND THEY'RE GONNA KILL US!
Ripley: HUDSON! This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training.
Ripley: Right?
Hudson: So why don't you put her in charge?

I said "a" NEWT. Not "newt". She had more confidence than this jackass will ever have. You didn't see her runnin around tellin everyone how great she was and that SHE could/should have ended the Alien instead of Ripley.

Thanks
