This weekend sure didn't accomplish much, did it? We had our first pissing match with 2+2 and, well, it went as one could expect it to go. I have taken advantage of the opportunities that FTR has given me over the past several months here at the forum, and I didn't realize how great this forum is until I visited 2+2.

Twoplustwo.com:

In reality, how can you compare any poker forum to that of 2+2? I mean, the amount of material available to the everyday reader is immense, almost as big as their egos. Thus, its really hard to say we are 'better' than 2+2 in the material regards. How much material do we have on this forum that isn't already answered a billion times on that forum? What percentage of our members here read 2+2 on a daily basis? And, where can I find answers to my questions about material above a certain benchmark?

Think about it, the best poker player on this site is Fnord. He got pwned at 15/30 and he's a pro. Who am I supposed to ask questions on shit related to material up to and past 15/30 at this site? Where do you think Fnord got all his information from? We don't have the personnel or the experience to compete with the 'big boys.'

Our goal for the Future:

We have to experience this shit ourselves. We have to create our own legion of poker players, from the bottom up. Start with sound basics and we will start churning out more and more great players everyday.

I can name every decent LHE player on this forum, I know who the good ones and that bad ones are. Fnord, Hypermegachi, Mike4066, Gutshot, Gabe, DaNutsInYourEye, Les_worm, and even others who just not so long ago were fish among poker players. We don't have the history 2+2 has, but we definately have potential. The community of players here has a focus on HELPING each other. We WANT to help those asking for help; there are plenty of fish in the sea for all of us.

I'll be the first to admit I havent been the politest on these forums; i've made my jackass remarks, who hasn't?

Frankly, I know i'm not the greatest in the world and I'm ready to improve my game. I'm ready to move to the next step, whatever that may be. I encourage all of you to do the same. We can beat the snot out of some of those 2+2 players, and don't let yourself think otherwise.
