The Kane thread shold not have been locked

To clarify, I do not care to know Kane's bankroll, winrate, web site or any of that. I am interested in the metamorphosis.

Recently Kane has used the check-big-pair-on-flop-to-get-stack-from-donkey on-turn-play. Even the donkeys there will adjust. Will Kane go for increased bluffing to protect the calldown value he is getting? Taunt to maintain same? Will he instead turtle-and-hare it with gear shifts, hoping they don't run over him before he starts to fire again? Of course he will. Will he handle hyperaggression succesfully? Likely yes as a huge win makes the blood cold and the heart warm. But a bad variance night of -50K is then coming. How will that affect his play? On the character level, that's when you learn if you've really got heart - and also brains so that you know when to step down. Many people are embarrassed by "stepping down." Embarrassment has broke many a player.

And better: real poker. Finally! What plays will he see and like? Many of those players make some great plays. I want to see more hands. Kane will not post many because he does not want to give away his game. However, the forumites will. I want to see what his opponents do. And after the honeymoon, we'll see the hands he loses. Those will be more educational. So give Kane his due, let the slobber threads have a little leeway, and we'll get better poker. If Kane needs to know how to wipe he can call Diablo.
