These players who are truly beating the biggest and hardest games never seem to come from poker communities. Are these players self-taught prodigies? is there something to being able to take an unbiased mind into analyzing situations? Is it simply more experience that makes the difference?

ps- i know gab does post here, but he's not like diablo/bruiser etc.

You can lead a long fulfilling life without seeing the rap in question

He did a very GAY "poker rap" during the last WSOP circuit event last week on ESPN.

He lost respect amongst the entire poker community with it. It was truly the most pathetic thing I've ever seen (and others agree).

Trust me, you're better off not seeing it.

Losing respect for a poker player because of his/her non poker related hobby, whether it is rap or male kitten nosehair fondling, is not only moronic, but probably -EV if you play against them.

I agree the rap was kind of silly, but honestly, when they set up the clip, I was expecting <i>much</i> worse.

HUH? What are you talking about. I didn't say I lost respect of his poker playing ability. I lost respect for him as a person.
