I agree on the online point though, and I think I covered this. What I meant is now online is there, plus so much stuff on the Net and TV it's easier to learn and get good info than ever before. Even 10 years ago, the only way to learn was to sit down and lose your money.

True, its much easier to find information on the "math" of the game these days....but like you said above that's 40% of the game.

Yeah the only reason he beat Farha in the WSOP was he had an enormous chip advantage.....mostly from hitting that miracle ace on the river to bust out Phil Ivey (Ivey made the boat on the turn....its like what I said before about them hitting the miracle two outer on the river and sending you to the rail)
Not to mention cracking Humberto Brenes's AA with his 88 and hitting the miracle 8 on the turn......and probably a few other hands like that along the way that ESPN didn't pick up.
