So much for메이저놀이터Management
Just surfing around this morning and came across this article by Ed Miller. Essentially his thesis is that메이저놀이터management is all a sham, at least for recreational players.

If you learn to play on a budget rather than a BR, I think its going to be just that much harder to learn the discipline you need to be successful in the long term. A hobby it might be, but no-one likes losing 🙂
That said, if Mr Miller’s intent was simply to bring in more players into the poker economy, then NH sir!
