I don't know why you guys are so mean to this guy.

I'm not convinced yet.

Convinced of what? That he's bad at english? He hasn't done anything wrong besides give some mis-guided advice. If you don't believe him, just ignore him. No need to be an ass.

I think most of us here are on the fence between 1) you can't make this sh!t up and 2) obvious gimmick account. If it's the former, and I hope for the sake of posterity that it isn't, a little meanness may be the only thing that is going to help him see "the way." that or kindness, which most people here are lacking in [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] regardless, you have impressed me with your treatment of this poor fellow.

Yeah, in all honesty, not being able to speak English well is believable - being as naive as this guy is not. He hasn't responded in anything but a "I don't get it" type of way to anytime someone takes a shot at him (which is often).

C'mon guys, unless he's 12 years old and foreign, it's too ridiculous to be real.

Yeah, thing is, I have been in many situations before where I have had to use a language besides english to communicate and its not easy, especially when it involves using a whole new set of jargon that is even foreign to those that speak that language as their first. Poker uses a whole new language within a language so I would feel for him if his account were real. Thing is, a lot of his posts have a certain quality to them that is very indicative of a gimmick account that seems to remind me of some of the best gimmicks in online forums I have seen over the years (not just poker related), so I am suspicious. But in any regard, I have been LMAO for the last couple of days...so I don't really care.

This is -EV. When someone has demonstrated a total lack of knowledge of SNGs and consistently made blantantly wrong statements, you should read each and every one of their posts and make sure that you disagree with everything they say. If you agree with something they say, that means you have some thinking to do.
