Your attitude is bad and you seem to be lacking in some quite basic life skills. Mantis is entitled to put his opinions forward and you are entitled to yours. What ppl take from his and your posts is up to them. To take a bullying attitude and attempt to embarrass someone over their results is childish and in any case it is unlikely that you can be sure that most players are in fact losers or winners. My results show a healthy profit, but take away 2 big final tables and I'm 5k down. I've got a 5% ROI in sitngoes but I'm $6k down as a result of a drink fuelled escapade involving a $5k turbo sitngo and a couple of other high buyins.
There is more to poker than maths, if there wasn't bots would already rule and they don't. I play so much online that I lose touch with the non-maths aspects of live poker and if someone takes an (admittedly extreme) non-maths view it adds to the discussion even if it leads to dismissing the view. When you have KK and that fcking Ace pops up on the flop is a hugely different situation live than online, so dicussion about "feel" when correctly explored is going to be helpful to me at least.
Sensible stuff when you make the point that it is near impossible to quantify your true winrate in live tournaments because it is impossible to play enough to properly outrun variance - and by the time you do the games and players will have changed. But the point is that we need to try and do the best we can to be winners. Thats what my posts are about. |

Everytime I read a Mantis post. It takes me back to my school days and reading Hamlet when Polonius had 1 of his speeches. A just never ending barrage of words but when you look at the substance, not much there.

That took a hell of a lot of reading. Funny though. All i will say which kind of defends MANTIS is I have donked from a hell of a lot of tournaments becasue teh BB checked/flat called oop a big ace and I just couldn't put him on it later on and decided to stack with my rags. However this may be because I'm a fish  . |
