The Ten Dumbest Poker Players

[TheJackal]

I think if we are talking about an ability to think as far as smart goes, but the exact opposite, an INABILITY to think for dumb, than I will have to go with Ted Lawson. Part of thinking in poker is being able to read your hand correctly, and he couldn't do that, and it cost him to double up another player. Not to mention he needed help with bet amounts.
I wouldn't say Vahedi is dumb, he just has a style that is very aggressive. It works well for him, seeing as how he has numerous high finishes in big buy in tournaments. There is a difference between being clueless and being just plain reckless.

Curious why you include him. I've only seen his WPT appearances, and don't know anything else about him. I heard somewhere he doesn't play much anymore. But I thought he looked great through most of what I saw.

The doesnt mean it WORKS for him. It only WORKS if he can make money doing it...he couldnt, thats why Hellmuth pulled the plug on his roll.

Are you sure, you trust ESPN to give you the right information on this? Are you mad? ESPN has been caught doctoring hands in that world series and now you think they have the pot right? Please. Tell me you have a better defense.

If you don't trust ESPN to show you the hand correctly, why do you waste your time arguing about these (perhaps, fictional) hands.

In other words, you can't accuse somebody of arguing in the hypothetical, then turn around and expect to base an argument on the same "facts."

If we are to praise him for great decision making at the poker table, I think it's only fair to have a go at him for his horrible decision making off the poker table. That is if you follow the life-is-one-big-session school of thought.

Anyone who's ever written a good poker book. Like that guy who wrote Theory of Poker and educated all the fish. What was his name again? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
