I’m pretty sure neither of them would like to see something like this of his pasted here.

It is interesting to see how much things have changed, though. It’s as if we’ve been experiencing over 20% year inflation.

if you are talking about the # of new posters in this forum its definately a massive % increase each year.

as to the pasting comment, im sorry if ive upset anybody but i definately chose to keep my answer very short, very succint, yet cover the general gist. i think i did that and i guess "disagreement" would have been better than "tiff" but its the same thing. if youd like, gabe, next time i'll say "can't talk about it, i might upset abdul or mason."

if thats not what you mean, please elaborate or PM me. again, if i have upset anybody, i apologize as that is clearly not my intent.

Cool article. I did find it interesting that he said the 100-200 pros that take random shots at the 300-600 when the game is good are shark bait. Ive never played quite that big so I guess I dont know but would the good 100-200 players really be that overmatched? I wonder if he thinks that top players are that much better at 300-600, or if its just the fact that the 100-200 players arnt comfortable with the money and it usually causes them to not play thier best game.

[TheWorstPlayer]

I think Gabe meant you had to inflate all the numbers to update them. So the 1/2 guys might no longer be shark bait at 3/6 but that's because now the old 30/60 guys are playing 1/2 and the old 1/2 guys are playing 3/6 and the old 3/6 guys have moved up to 1k/2k. So now to get the jist of the article you should read it as the 3/6 guys who take a shot at 1k/2k are shark bait.

[Steve Giufre]

I havent read Gabes post yet, but that does seem logical.

Steve, I do like your query. So now, let's ask again:

Assuming he had a bankroll and was comfortable with the stakes. How would a great 300-600 player be overmatched in a 1-2K game? Are the players really that superior?

What does a 1-2K player have that a 3/6 doesn't? Is it simply a pure talent issue? No matter how hard Kerry Collins works, he'll never be Brett Favre.

I really think those games are about individual match-ups and knowing who to attack. If you took a table of 10 great players, the 10th best player may have the best player's number, while the best player may destroy the top 3 players rountinely, but knows to avoid player 10. And player 5 does well against player 7, but struggles against player 8, and so on.
