Josh Arieh on Bodog

[mshalen]

I'm watching Josh Arieh play 5/10 PLO8 on Bodog. A few observations:

1. Why do people buy in short stacked? I've seen about 5 people buy in for between $200 and $500. They just loose their stacks - fairly quickly. Is it worth $300 to tell your friends you played for 10 minutes with Josh Arieh on line? How sad.

2. I've noted that Josh wins or scoops big pots and loses/folds small pots. This is a lesson that I need to learn and remember. I would say this is what really seperates the pros from the fish.

3. Josh very rarely shows down a hand, he either wins or folds. I assume this keeps the other players from knowing if he really had a hand and what he plays. Another bit of info I should incorporate into my play.

4. I can't believe the chat coming from the morons who are observing. Josh just beat a guy and both the loser and observers are giving him all kinds of sht - in pretty strong language. So Josh just decided to leave.
