Title: Re: Evolve or Die Post by: thetank on March 09, 2009, 12:29:41 PM Would be so com if this was the Dean's last article.
1 time!!!! (not to die, but just to stop writing piss) Title: Re: Evolve or Die Post by: lucky_scrote on March 09, 2009, 12:46:03 PM Would be so com if this was the Dean's last article. 1 time!!!! (not to die, but just to stop writing piss) I like to offer criticism where I can, and I refuse to read any of his articles. I've never seen him play poker live and he has no evidence of tearing it up online either. How on earth did he bs his way into writing articles for blonde and the hendon mob wtf. And isn't he involved with cake somehow??? WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Hmmm, that was a little harsh.

He writes for the 2p2 magazine as well, tbf Blonde don't pay him to write these articles and he has provided some light entertainment to the forum. Title: Re: Evolve or Die Post by: thetank on March 09, 2009, 01:24:04 PM I read 'em all for comedy value. To be fair, not the worst formal writing on the internet, but probably the worst that pertains to poker.
That's just me being snobbish though. The only Dean articles I had a real problem with were the STT articles, because the strat he was pushing was complete bollox. Folding pairs at low blinds instead of set mining, flat calling short stacks in the later stages instead of iso-shoving. The meat of this article is fair enough; online games are tougher, get tracking software or get left behind.
