hewooo 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Is this guy for real? He wins one tournament a few years ago, comes in third in the World Series and....that's it. Now it's more than I have done but the way this guy brags you would think he has accomplished more. He cries in his blog that he can't believe only 4 or 5 people are interested in taking his poker class. I'm surprised he managed to get that many. Phill Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu are talkers also but at least they have statistics to back up their talk. If he wins anything at this years WSOP I will take it all back but I'm not too worried.

ajs510 122 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Yeah, Josh sucks, he's only managed to win a WSOP bracelet, place 3rd in the Main Event for $2.5 million, and place 3rd in a WPT event, before he's 30 years old. What a truly shi.tty track record.Do I even have to say MASSIVE S/W? Link to post Share on other sites

MilesZS 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 he's an a##hole, not a bad player.He's not even an *******, you're just basing that on last year's main event. It's poker for 6 or 7 figures. See if you can play without getting emotional. Link to post Share on other sites
iowa's finest 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 i just read some of his blog and it was a waste of 10 minfunniest thing was that he said 5 people, only 5 people signed up for his poker camp. ahahha thats telling you something Link to post Share on other sites
martoon96 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 the guy thinks he's gods gift to poker, i give him credit for being a good player but his attitude all throughout last years main event was poor at best, and in any interview i have seen or read he comes across as smug. granted i haven't see or read them all so i guess i must be missing his more humbling peices. i see very few poker pros with that kind of attitude.

joeltebbutt 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Am I the only one getting bored with posts slagging off josh and mike mattusow. Josh has apoligised numerous times for what he said to harry. mike just trys to talk people into tilting. Link to post Share on other sites
koa 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 He did make a silly bluff all in on Daniel at the borgata when Daniel was already committed to the pot. But aside from that weird play he made it to the final table last year at WSOP and the final table at Borgata. That is good year to me. Considering the amount of money cashed Link to post Share on other sites

btlee 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 then dont read them newbieI don't post much either, however...It consistantly amazes me how many people on this forum look solely at the little counter on the left to judge if an individuals comments have any substance.Perhaps you should instead read what is written, and judge the overall quality of that individuals posts and their intention.I for one would rather see a poster only post once a month, yet that post add informative commentary, an interesting take, or comment worth consideration than 100's of worthless flames, and high school humor.The same people that seem to say its "quality not quantity" when refferring to Daniel's impressive tournament play, then turn right around and only look at a counter?!?I for one would rather live one day as a lion than one thousand as a lamb.If many of you took the concept behind a poker forum a little more seriously you might actually learn something and improve your game.

hewooo 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 I did find out that he has placed in more events than I gave him credit for.

elkang 0 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I would say something to help and explain, but everytime I have a good read on a new poster and their poker knowledge, a horde of other posters leap to his defense.... and say that I am a flaming arrogant something or other.So, I give up.Get ready for August guys... DN may not make the final tables but this site is going to heat up and we'll have even more of this stuff. Just smile and breathe easy... the moderators will be working overtime.I expect many long time FCPers to run over to some other forums and avoid the "General Poker" forum which is really a "Kitchen Sink" of anything remotely poker related. One controversial solution is a private forum for FCPers (which already exists - for those not registered - they see only part of the forums) but this has numerous issues too.
