Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he's a good player, I'm just not sure he deserves to be idolized like some on AP seem to.

This happens everywhere. When I started playing at True Poker last year, everyone thought Peter Costa wat "The Man". If he was playing there were always 50+ spectators and everyone would fawn over him.

It also happens on these boards and not just with solid pros. Each forum has it's group of people, that can usually say anything and go unchallenged, whether right or wrong.

IT is just the way people are. They crave approval from people that they percieve as "better" than themselves.

I agree regarding Seif. I am not impressed with his play. A lot of people watch the final table of the WPT tourneys and justify what they see by saying they didn't play that way to get there. Well, that might be true for some but some of them do play that way and just get hit by the deck. This is why tournament specialists play primarily tourneys. Their style does not translate well to cash games.

The last couple of times have been weekends. I don't know that there is much demand for a game at that level weeknights.
