| no, he's not my brother. it's just a pet peeve of mine. there's no other sport where we so see so little of the participants but judge them so harshly and so confidently.
in one year of watching michael jordan, (when i was a freakish fan), i'd see him play for 100 games X 40 minutes per game.
but in two years of watching poker on tv, i've probably seen the most exposed guys (gus, lederer, doyle, rocks and rings, etc), maybe 10 hours each. 2/3 of that time they fold or i'm fast forwarding past a commercial.
it just doesn't make any sense. so, when possible, i think you've got to go to the data. arieh's results have been strong. his play that i've seen has been strong. and you know about that thing that looks like a duck, walks like a duck... |
