I was wondering if sauce was sitting at 200/400 with his own money? Its a big step up from 10/25, 25/50 to 200/400.

But anyway, I think that sauce has improved in leaps and bounds over the last year and his success (I assume he is successful) is well deserved.

I was wondering what a FTR dream team would look like? Without knowing them personally my Top 6 would be:

List in no particular order:
gabe
sauce
nutshinho
isf
pocketfours
cocco_bill (on results only as he doesn't post much strategy)
no doubt others had a piece. you gotta have like 5 mil or something to sit at 200/400. at least thats what bloodsweaters alluded to.

i believe that theoretical understanding is not as important as everybody thinks, but that risk taking is where its at. yes theory is extremely important, but one big thing that separates the best from the second best is that the best are taking more chances, pushing thinner edges, looking for more edges; and this isn't really accompanied by any theoretical understand other than the understanding that more edge = more $.

fwiw, game theory optimal provides that our range in any given point should be a bluff a certain percentage of the time. this flies right in the face of conventional wisdom where we gotta play 'soundly' and rep the right hands and all that jazz.

i suspect that the best guys are the guys who are like 'when unsure of what to do, raise'.

god im so glad im buckling down and building a fucking roll so i can play with knowing that i can blow 50 bi and be in great shape. because then people gonna get raped.
