"Standard of Live Poker" Response

[byronkincaid]

the guy that has run bad for a year is a poor player, you cant run bad for a year , he just cant admit he has lost it

You're saying that a live tournament player can't run bad for a year?

[quantify]

YES , their is other influences which have created an enviroment in which he cant perform, may be cash presure etc, therefore he is in a void which doesnt allow him to perform , everything haas to be right, running bad is temporary running bad for a year , youve lost the pllot if you can play the game.

Let you off this time

You are right about one thing Nick, I don't really care about improving the standard of play in the UK.

The attraction of poker for me is the fact that it's NOT a team sport. I don't care how badly someone else plays, no one cares how badly I play.

Poker is a great leveler, we all start out with the same tools, old, young, male, female, black, white, the fairytale can come true for anyone.

For the record, I enjoy your company and I like to be at your table. I just hope I never outdraw you

The day there isn't space for everyone at a poker table  will be a very sad day indeed. And please let us be very clear on what I believe poker ability means.

Ability means having the necessary amount of money to sit at the table and that is it.

Now whether you have won that money on line or by working your way through various levels of live events does not give you any greater rite to be there than the man who has a lot of money and who uses festival poker as his/her relaxation.

Not everybody wants to improve
Not everybody wants to be a professional player
Not everybody gives a toss what other people think

But one thing is certain. If you sit down at a table you can play any way you like and still have a chance. That will never change.

Nobody has the right to criticise any other player as long as they have the ability to sit down at the table

Ask Lord Wernick if it's possible to run bad for 12 months, or look up his results on any poker Database.

Run bad for 12 months? Truly, anyone can. And will.

In response to quantify:

I think both Reddog's and snat's responses about cover my answer to your response.

I would also add that a key reason for poker's ridiculous sustained growth over the last 4-5yrs is exactly because ANY OLE DONKEY can and will win a given tournament when the sun is blasting straight up his arse for 2-10days. This is so +++++++EV for all who can deal with the variance, thus in any tournament I'm not playing in I would almost always want a donk rather than a "good" player to win, so that the cycle maintains itself.

I appreciate (now) that the intention of your original post was less disturbing than it came across.

That said, I think you have some fundamental issues in your approach to the game. These may or may not change/get resolved with more experience.  Either way, I wish you luck in your hunt for the "buried treasure" of poker.

Micky ran bad for about 5 years before winning the order of merit. DC has run bad for gawd knows how long, is he now a bad player?
