    <p>You got a big sack.  I would just fold against dario in that spot and wait for a better spot but I dig it</p>

    <p>I think about it and look over at Dario with death and destruction in my eyes and in a forceful manner said, "Raise, pot." He looks down at his cards and insta-mucked his hand</p>

    <p>sir,</p>
    <p>this article is an incredible outlook on the attitude of a champion!  I have been running bad lately and the one thing I am realizing more than anything is that YOU MUST REMAIN CONFIDENT! I really, really like your philosophy towards poker man thanks for reinterating what I already know.  Sometimes you need to hear it from someone else.</p>
    <p>All the best,</p>

    <p>everyone has to be a dick.... sigh.  It's a nice article for newcomers to think about situations like that before they get there, where they will be intimidated. wp.</p>

    <p>I really think people criticizing the play (I'm not debating for or against it) aren't getting the message that Maven is trying to send with this article. </p>

    <p>Love the article as usual, and I'm sure I got the point...... but more and more I'm getting discouraged with some of the P5's community. nothing but a bunch of hate mongers........</p>

    <p>i dont like the play of limp reraising out of position to create a pot of 1800 leaving 3100 behind against a world class played like dario in this spot.  Your going to get worked hard post flop 9 times out of 10.</p>

    <p>It's one thing to talk a big game and it's another thing to actually play hard-nosed hardcore poker."Come at me hard, I'm coming back at you even harder." If it's a kill or be killed situation, I'm going to have blood on my hands. </p>

    <p>Not pro or con on this article but perhaps if he didn't make posts accusing regs of collusion or if he weren't the king of all haters himself perhaps the comments would be different... not positive but I'd say 67.5% chance.</p>
