They say one of the traits of a good driver is that they drive in a manner which is mindful of the fact that other road users don't always drive very well.

Of course when in a game with players from this list - or other like-minded individuals - one adapts one's strategy to try and predict the unorthodox, sub-optimal strategies of the heathens. However, thorough planning alone is not always enough, and one must rely on the good grace of weak minds and favourable fortune.

If you’re playing esc and someone starts chasing bonuses it actually makes them at least as easy to predict as other players, if not easier.

Indeed. However, it is harder to predict the actions of players who don't chase bonuses, but randomly kill stacks for no apparent reason.

Top notch players cashing 12 and 15 sets to take +2 and +3 bonuses respectively, leaving green with 3 regions and 5 cards worth a 20 cash. Yet apparently this strategy is solid and works.

Cherrypicking examples that you happen to win PROVES NOTHING, and players can't always choose when they play spoils anyway. BTW, I forget, are you one of those players that think it's acceptable to let the clock run out so that you don't have to get a card or play a 5-card hand? I'm honestly asking, coffy. I forget if and where you draw the line on douchery

This is the first post of yours I've bothered to open up in a while. I haven't cherry picked anything, it was just a very good example of how these strategies are terrible and how they give other players free wins. Nobody goes into this list unless they prove numerous times that they're clueless about how to play large escalating games.
I've never let the clock run out to avoid playing / getting cards. It's not allowed in clan games and I don't think it should be allowed in general. How that's relevant I have no idea.

Funny, ...but it would be funnier if you linked some footage of you slapping coffeeboy around. Like this:
I almost posted another youtube ladyboy streetfight, but 'her' junk was falling out of 'her' thong and I didn't want to generate that much controversy. See, I can be subtle and nuanced when the situation calls for it.
