Thinking at the Highest Level

[aggie]

Yea, verbal skills have never been my stong suit either. If you say it was written in the second person, i'd take your word over mine

[InchoateHand]

It was written in first person, but thats okay.

Ive never seen him open raise for more then $40-50 in this game.

If he writes the above and is talking about himself, isn't he writing in something other than the first person?

[InchoateHand]

He wrote it from a first person perspective, but he was referencing himself in the third. Therein lies the confusion. Second doesn't come into play.

Yeah...2nd is where they talk to a person right?

Honestly, if this was you that raised preflop, I wouldn't consider this "poker at the highest level" at all-many times I have hugely overraised with AA just to see if I could get anybody to bite figuring the chances of somebody thinking I'm getting cute might be small but at least there's a chance I'll play a huge pot...do you consider it special that you considered this move, because I find it to be far from unheard of (though common is stretching it). And if you're talking about the guy with 57 as the one thinking at the highest level, clearly that's wrong because he ran into KK. Just because there was some "I think he's bluffing" and "I think I can get him to think I'm bluffing" doesn't mean that there's some sort of brilliance at play.

everyone knows you need 56s to move in against aces...75o is obv in the muck.

2nd person is "you"

I / you / he she it
We / you (pl) / they

I could be so, so, wrong.

in terms of writing, typically-
1st person is that when the author is speaking (a narrative) 3rd person (the main character) then 3rd person omniscient (main character w/ an author type deal)

I got no clue, except 320 bet perhaps was done to trick the other player into thinking you were opening for 30, but accidently opened for 320

Kane,

I suggested in another thread that you weren't funny. I take it back. This is funny.
