hidden brag post about not waiting?

good chat

understandable..i dont remember calling you a donkey maybe because i dont recall ever playing with you..but donkey seems like something everyone calls everyone all for fun...i agree with confronting the guys when it was going on...but going up to a few drunks guys pissed off all night when i was upset already...i don't think it would have ended very well...i don't care how good a player is doesnt give you the right to talk down to everyone at the table...just shows a persons character...i don't think everyone comes on this forum and i knew dogg seems to always be on...so did it here...maybe not the best way to handle it

No, Adam Ganzer won, Dennis got 2nd, Bev finished 5th I believe.

I figured something like this was coming today, so I will address your post Joe.

I'll go ahead and agree that some of the things that were said I'm not exactly proud of, and I would take some of them back if I could...but I was drunk and I was blowing off steam after yet another finals experience of doubling up my starting stack without a showdown and as the tournament wore on, and the play went away and the bingo started...nothing good happened. When you won a race against me I told you nice hand and was on my merry way, then I got real fucking drunk. Which I do. Calling me a by the book player I find to be pretty funny, but I won't try to have an actual poker conversation here sir. I saw you limp with J/7 when you had 6 blinds, so uh...yeah. I have results in this game, online and live, I won't name them here because it's pointless. Every player that I know and respect knows that I can play this game and that's all that really matters to me. It is my personal belief that the final table was littered with players that don't know a goddamn thing about no limit tournament hold'em and my vantage point is not going to change on that no matter how big of a huff anyone gets in. I've always thought you were a nice guy and my vantage point has not changed on that either. For what it's worth I'm sorry that you were offended, as you were one of the only people at that table I like, but at the same time...well, I can't really change it now. I can be a drunk asshole, and that's a fact.

You know it's a fucked up day when you eat at Denny's twice.

What a delicious thread. Hey Joe, I don't know you, but you seem like a pretty decent guy. But my reads have been wrong before, if you know what i mean. Poker is a funny game man. Its really a study in pyschology. But some undenyable truths about the game are, everyone thinks they are better than they actually are, me included.

Quote- "Poker is like sex, everyone thinks they are the greatest, but most are barely adequate".

You are included in that too Joe. You start by saying what have YOU guys done that makes you so much better than me, then you start listing your poker resume. You're not the first to do this. But your resume does point out that you don't have alot of poker experience outside of BP. Some players like Ben and Dawg do. Which gives them a broader persepctive. When you have put the work in to understand the game, have seen many different players, you start to recognize who understands this game and who does not. But when it comes down to it, it is an odds game. The best players in the world are going to get their money in when odds favor them, but even at 4 to 1, you lose 1 out of 5 times. Say you face 4 to 1 odds for your tourney life 10 times. You are only going to survive 11% of the time. In this game, the worst player you know, can beat the best player in the world on any given hand or night. The nature of the game.


But as far as comparing who is better than who. Its real difficult to do it. But I will say, that you shouldn't judge poker skill by how you finish at the BP free roll. At its nature, poker is a game of risk and reward. When you play the free roll, there is no risk. So one may even claim its not even poker. Real poker play comes out of putting someone to a test. This may be why you observed the TOC was "was a decent game not like normal BP tourneys". There was a real good prize at stake, and people tightened up. Although, the average player at BP thinks decent poker = tight poker. The best players use timed aggression son. SO if they make you feel uncomfortable, its a sign that they are playing a different level. They understand how to put you to a test, when a test doesnt mean if you bust out of a free roll, you get to play a $5 dollar sit n go!!
