Mend,

The difference is, Winter believes he is being funny, although he does sometimes miss that he *could* also be p.is.sing people off.

That is rarely the reason Ribbo does it.

I was thinking the same thing, but I will add that I think Ribbo's delivery is somewhat useful, because there is way too much weak tight advice floating around. The problem with that advice is that it often sounds right to those that don't know better (I am often in this camp), but it will keep you from reaching optimal play. I think a strong counter point to that type of advice is reasonable, although a little humility wouldn't hurt Ribbo at all. I like that Winter will admit to making occasional mistakes.

Cooker,

Nearly all the plo8b advice posted here, until recently, was flat out wrong. I was once involved in a huge thread as to why a naked A2 was a preflop fold regardless of action. The breadth of accurate PLo8b play is actually quite narrow, say compared to PLO. Ribbo isnt the most aggressive exponent of "right" play, and he certainly is mostly right about the games he mostly plays, but its not rocket science either.
