Dohhh did you see the hand i referred to when i described the play as idiocy. If you can honestly review that hand and not descibe it as idiocy then why not. Just because i describe that hand as idiocy does not actually say anything about any other player in any other situation. Aggression is a major part of the game as everyone knows. Some use it more than others and i appreciate this and respect it. But there is a group of people who use aggression for aggressions sake and it has no basis in poker. I have seen your play Dohhh and i know that you are aggressive but not stupid, it is the one trick pony super aggressive players that need to be educated. And before you argue no i do not suggest they play my style but just tone down a bit and start using intelligence alongside the aggression
I hope this clarifies what my post said. There are enough idiots playing on this site, but they are idiots because they are idiots, not because of the style of play they choose.
TO ADD TO MY POSTS FROM LAST NIGHT . " THESE PLAYERS " WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RARELY GET INTO THE CASH , ATLEAST IN DEEP STACKS . A GOOD PLAYER WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO , ONCE THEY HAVE A LARGE STACK . MOST OF THE PLAYERS I AM REFERRING TOO , WILL SOONER OR LATER BLOW THE LOT IN A FEW HANDS . GOT TO ADD , THAT I DON'T MIND HAVING A PLAYER LIKE THAT ON MY TABLE BUT DO SUFFER FROM ENVY WHEN IT IS SOMEONE ELSE TAKING THERE CHIPS ... OR LESS THEY GET LUCKY AND HIT THERE RUNNER RUNNER ETC. AGAINST ME .
You can make an "idiot"play - Idiot is describing the doing word? haha its so long since I did english lit at 6 form. Well it isnt but it seems that way. Whats a verb then? haha
I'll have a look at the strategy section Talon not been there for a while ill comment there.
Any help with mi english language appreciated! hahah
i have personally run into these so called idiots in some of these deepies and some of my fellow deepy regulars have been on the table with me when they have luckboxed it and took someone out early.but as has already been said they hardly ever cash,in fact most of the time by the stage of blinds reaching 150/300 they are already out.
I have played in half a dozen DS tourneys and i have found that they have helped my game come along no end as i am still learning the game. I even cashed in one once upon a time. I do think the structure is better for some more steady progressive poker where a raise of some kind will get the respect it deserves and you dont often find an aggressive all-in in the early stages of the tourney. Yes, you will find the odd one or two who think they are in a velocity of some kind and will go OTT more often than not but that is they choice. Everyone has paid the same entry fee and can play however they want so i do agree with MR DOHHHHHHHH that the aggressive players should not be labbled 'idiots' but be allowed to play how they see fit.
And i hope this next bit doesnt come over as a 'bad beat whinge' because it is defiantley not, but in the last two DS i have played I have once gone out with KK v AA against the CL which is just auto play in later stages of the tourney and another one went out when i was ahead and got rivered close to the FT time. But unlike one of the opens, where you get knocked out either by a good play or bad play, I didnt feel crushed and enjoyed the poker, the standard of play and defiantley all the GOOD banter and chat throughtout a long structered MTT.
PS..I think the players that promote these do a thankless job but a worthwhile one.

You asked for help with your English language so I'll try to oblige.
There is no such thing as an "idiot play". I think you are confusing it with an "idiotic play" or, possibly, a "play by an idiot" which are two different things. That is why it is important to be precise with the English language - it avoids ambiguity. Also, "play" in this context is a noun not a verb (or "doing word"). If "play" were being used as a verb in this sentence then it would have an entirely different meaning, something along the lines of "you can make an idiot play but you cannot make him think". Finally, a word used to modify a verb is an adverb not an adjective.
Please let me know if you require any further clarification.
I hope that this helps (but, somehow, I doubt it). :-)
What I love about the Dp is the people, good banter while playing poker. Remember though it is poker! people pay their money so have the right to play whatever hands they choose, we have to be clever, read the game and know when to shove too. AND keep with it and keep the banter so whatever happens we enjoy the poker. Would be a miss if you weren't initt borobabe x
LOL,. OK . DO YOU GO ALLIN WITH J7 FIRST HAND ??? OR Q8 ETC. 30 MINUTES LATER YOU HAVE AA , THEY SHOVE ALLIN WITH K6 AND FLOP COMES Q66 !!!! Posted by PILLOWMAN

Dear Mr Dohh(hhhhh),
If you read this thread from the beginning, I think you will find that the person who used the word "idiot" used it as a noun. You then decided to rewrite the laws of the English language and label it as an adjective. Whilst this is very creative it is not grammatically correct. Can you tell me the title and publisher of your novel? If it is available on Amazon I'm sure that I will not be the only subscriber to this thread that would be interested in reading it.
I don't think these people should be called idiots, all styles of play are equally valid, there is no rule that only ABC poker can be played in deep stack tourneys.
You just have to learn how to play the ultra aggresive players, you will be a better player for it in the long run.

Very good point. In fact, no players should be called idiots. It may be frustrating at times, but people are entitled to play their cards anyway that they want. No players should be abused, either at the table or in the SkyPoker forums.
the word "idiot" a feeble minded person (chambers dic) "feeble" = weak (same dic) , im sure we have all been accused of this at some point in our poker history. apart from mere novice coz he is an absolute genius with all things maths and the english language. even people at the top of there game i e tiger woods can be called an idiot(feeble weak minded person). with a wife like that what else would you call it!!!
Its on my old computer...I never even printed it out....I cud get it up n email it ya tho....dnt think it wud all fit in 1 email. It was a love story, Im very soft!
