Message: [QUOTE="chipslap u, post: 524639, member: 9177"] You have to factor in the fact that most of those people have so much experience and have played each other many times. There is a whole lot more to winning poker than just cards. Taking into consideration implied odds, experience against certain opponents, experience, pot odds, position, tilt factor, tells, [U]a decision to move on a certain hand after presenting a tight image for an hour or so (knowing you are sitting with observant players not all in anytime you can hope to be online spares) by design no matter what two cards you are dealt[/U], etc etc etc. The latest season was flushed with a lot of new moneyed aggressive players wanting to make a bigger name for themselves as well. The Chans,Negreanus,Greensteins,Brunsons,Elezras and so on have been raking huge money for decades. The Booths,Antonius,Williams, and so on are products of the latest boom. They are outstanding players and some every bit as good if not better than the old veterans. They are still the new face and are taking advantage of their opportunities in the spotlight so the play will seem a little loose to most viewers. John D'agostino for example was clearly there to prove his worth. He didn't want to be shown up or outplayed and wanted to show he wasn't just a tournament phenom. He found himself in a couple bad situations and tossed a few chips he clearly had no intention of losing. Jamie Gold on the other hand was very casual about the game and was motivated more by playing at that table than worried about whether or not he lost. Victor Ramdin is just loose. [/QUOTE]
