I would guess (and thats all it is) that the person who studies the 2 + 2 literature and thinks enough of it to post on this site probably has a win rate of about zero. [/ QUOTE ] Warren, your guess would be wrong! "Active" 2+2ers live on the hard right edge in terms of games played/month and win rate.

Re: Liars in the forum
I was watching a friend play a SNG on party today and saw him bustout as the short stack with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] to 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. The opponent had double the number of chips and my friend. A9 got no improvement, but a 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] came on the river.
My friend didn't know I was watching and told me later that he had A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (it wasn't suited), had the other guy covered (other guy had double his chips), hit a 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on the flop (not true) and lost to the unlucky 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the river. The "beauty" of poker is that most people know it's a game of skill and most people win occasionally. Therefore individuals think they can beat the game and chalk all of their losses to bad luck. They not only lie about their losses to others, they lie to themselves.

Worst thread ever. [/ QUOTE ] Nah, flair's response was good. However, I stopped reading soon afterwards. Maybe it's the greatest thread ever on 2+2 and I'll just never know... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Thanks flair! Take care, guys. --Dave.
