If I read one of the diaries on this forum I want hear an uncensored account of the diarists views, not some censored “trying not to offend” diluted account of their recent trip to Uni…
I strongly disagree with this. Not interested in hearing about a trip to bowl uni.

Thread is quite in keeping with the recent hud discussions and seems to highlight the ill feeling/resentment towards pros.
I think a lot of reactions are ott tbh. Professionals are playing for a living which generally makes them winners and better players than the norm and certainly far better than your largely amateur live tournament fields so why wouldnt they describe a field as soft? It doesnt seem to me to be insulting or offensive, usually just an accurate statement.
Its a bit boring that pros get knocked a lot lately. Yes some pros dont conduct themselves perfectly but that happens in all fields and professions. Amateurs behave worse overrall and its not even close.
Interesting discussion frankie. My post wasnt a slight at you btw - hope it didnt come across as one

Good post (even though I'm slightly more in agreement with the opposing view)
Thing that I find the strangest is pros playing day 1a of a tournament (especially one that has a guarantee) and wanting to spread the word about what a great field it is to other pros. You don't really get cash game players tweeting "what an awesome cash table at XYZ, come get it or miss out" kind of thing

Never really thought about this, I guess it's just a 'go to' phrase that gets used a bit too much. Like 'one time', innit.
I used to think this until recently, where I started to notice more and more, the weird stuff that was going in.
I thought maybe I was just being harsh on people until today's GUKPT at Luton.
I'm all for having bad players in the game, but some of the stuff I saw today made feel quite awkward at the table.
If I could rewind the clock 24 hours, I would happily buy a % of 20 decent players I know at 2.0
I'm assuming this thread was started because Alex made a comment about the field being soft. I think he was being extremely kind to the field.
Disclaimer: I didn't make day 2
Interesting, cos I played for the first time at Luton this Friday, and was quite 'offended' (I dont do offended but cant think of another word to fit) that a couple of guys on my cash table butted in on a conversation I was having with a recent Dtd torn winnner. 'Oh Dtd is so soft its not like Luton', etc, etc.
Ok big ego, if it is so soft how come your not playing all your poker there? and winning?
Probably not playing their poker at dtd, because it's almost two hours away.
Anyway, my point in posting is to say that anyone who thinks the standard at Luton is better than that at dtd, needs to get out a bit more.

Pros helping pros out seems like a nice thing to me.

If poker comp are only design for PROS only , I bet there will be not many pros will survived in poker industry . So pros helping pros will become pros stacking pros .

Completely the opposite. Bigger the tournaments more fish want to play them so they remain soft.
As an aside this g'teed tournament stuff, i see a lot of pros trying to be clever and keeping overlays quiet. This is the most backward/short term thinking it really grates me.
If i run a casino and make a ballsy g'tee and then hear people are running about keeping it quiet do you think i will do the same again? No. We should run about drumming up punters so next time the g'tee is even bigger.
