Staying Alive

[wsopin07]

I don't want to add fuel to a fire that appears to have gone out, but, in "catch-up mode" today, I saw this thread.

I'm bound to say, I really don't think anyone should refer to the blondeites in such patronising terms as "lost on this crowd", any more than I like the expression "maggot $100 & less tournies".

"this crowd" includes WSOP Bracelet Winners, WPT & EPT Winners, the creme de le creme of poker, as well as, more importantly, many, many, guys & gals who frequent the $5 & $10 tourneys, because maybe they don't have the game that the big boys have, but they have a passion for poker, & poker people. We also have folks with degrees, & others with no education at all.

Bracelet Winner Brian Wilson engages in banter with ALL of us, as does Dave Colclough, Simon Trumper, Julian Thew, Carlo Citrone, and many, many, others. These guys have forgotten more about poker than most of us ever knew, but they never, EVER, berate us because of our station on the poker ladder, because OFF the table, they are no different to us, & certainly not better.

Tight Ends riposte was elegant & breathtakingly good.

My humble offering is simply this. "this crowd" are diamonds, & I really don't like them referred to in such derogatory terms. as for "maggot tournies", we maggots have had more fun in them than you'll ever know.

It's history now, case closed. But I'd thank you not to refer to the blondeites in such derogatory terms in future. Educate, please, not berate, is my message.

Have a good Christmas, from all of "this crowd".

i like the JP story,
my take is;
if i have 5bb's it's all going in unless i find AA or KK.
if i have 8bb's i would prob still raise 3bb's with eg KJ and if the SB moved in before me on say a 10,7,3 flop i would pass;
i'd rather get my chips in first before the flop with 2-7 than call all-in with two albeit live cards that have missed the flop

Julian , just dont do it w/  , you are not ready yet
