"Why I think ATE is the Greatest Poker Writer in the world.


(Winners must have pokerstars account, to collect)


By the way, even though I am NOT involved financially with this site, I'd still request that whenever possible, that y'all use their ads to sign up for poker sites.

Everyone needs money, and Ice and "T" have done a bang up job

Figure like three days, to get your entry in

A hold'em teacher can teach you what hands to play, how much to play them for, and about making positive expected value plays. A seven-card stud teacher can teach you how to count live cards, to figure the most likely hands of opponents based on their up-cards. An Omaha teacher can teach you about the sort of cards you're looking for, what "packets" of cards go well together, and when to livepokerforum. But anybody can learn to play one game. It really isn't that hard to become a somewhat successful player at a game or two.

But for those who aren't looking to just make a few bucks playing hold'em at a monthly game need look no further than Adam The Expert for sage advice. His name says it all. It's not Adam The Hold'em Expert, or Adam The Hi-lo Genius; it's Adam The Expert. He's played practically every game there is, and won! He can use advanced plays that would look like idiocy to the untrained mind, because he's learned them in other games.

He's the master of applying skills from one game to another; this is why he is the Expert. You could make up a poker game, and within a few hours he would be able tobe a winning player at it, just by applying his vast knowledge from other games to this one.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a tutor on any play iin any poker game, you can toss out even the greatest books like Super System and the such, because your money would be far better spent on an hou or twor with the Expert.

Hmmmmmm, everyone better hurry up, else ATE awards this excellent entry the prize.

DAMNNNNN!!... Even if I could write I don't think I could top that. The only thing hes missing is nuff said' at the end.

Well, it's a good one. It reads like the back of a book. Nice effort.

ONLY ONe ENTRY!! This is a SNUB, that cannot be overlooked!!

Wait just ONE minute!! I'm giving away 15 bucks, and ONLY ONE person, is willing to participate!

I was feeling UNDERAPPRECIATED as it was.



But, I'm not asking you to BUY a lesson !!

HOW DARE people NOT respond.


Oh well, at least I don't have to RACK MY BRAIN, judging them.

Sorry Adam You definately deserved more essays in the contest. Maybe people were intimidated by mine

I would have responded but flopmyflush got there first and i thought much of my answer would seem to be plagerism.

I have read MANY of your posts from UPF and then ALL of them in full on BTP and I could never seem to find an answer you had given that isn't on target, logical, and appropriate. No matter what the game, you always give an answer that would prove to be the correct play or a very viable and credible action if the situation is marginal or questionable. It isn't just Hold'em, but you provide expert answers for all games, included, but not limited to, Omaha Hi, Omaha Hi/Lo, Razz, and Draw to name a few.

Besides that, you now are providing us with numerous enjoyable true life stories from your many years experience as well as fiction that has been enlightening and entertaining. Few people can actually say they are doing all of that and is really only asking for our respect and attention in return. I'm sure I speak for many people that you definitely have our respect and you have the attention of the entire forum and probably countless others.

I'm not sure if I've won by default, or what... but my stars account name is just flopmyflush.. Great contests, though, ATE. Hopefully people will get involved next time you have one.

And NOT by default, either.

Please acknowledge on this thread, when you receive your money. I don't want people to think you didn't get it.

Just recieved it. Thank you very much, ATE. Thanks for the kind words about my essay, as well!

That ATE paid the winner. Perhaps people thought it was a joke, thus the low turnout
