Top One Handers list

Re: Top One Handers list

I think we should just keep things simple - one hand is one hand, no matter how many fingers you use. If we want to define it more than that, we need to call it something more than one-handed. The word one-handed means just that - one hand. Yes, playing one-handed two fingers and three fingers can be harder than one-handed four fingers, but so is playing spread with the keys Q, T, V, and M. And nobody cares if they play that way, it's just a different version of spread. So I think two, three, and four fingers should all be scored and classified the same as long as they are one-handed.

P.S. (As a three-fingered player I consider myself relatively unbiased)

This logic works as well as me saying "nobody cares if you play one hand or two, it's just a different version of playing FFR." It's actually quite an objective and fair statement, but unfortunately, I don't think objective is the aim of this thread. If it was, it would be contradicting itself. The whole point of this thread is to glorify handicap. The more handicapped, the better.

I'm not saying I agree with that way of thinking, but it seems to be the key here.

Okay, I see what you mean. Glorifying handicap vs. glorifying one-handed playing in general. Well, then I think we should also glorify one-handed playing with one's non-dominant hand :P

Speaking of, I have an alt account, skishmonkeyLH, that's all me playing left-handed (I'm right-handed). Granted, I'm doing quite poorly, but as I practice both hands, it should improve.

Re: Top One Handers list

I'm prolly not going to do this for a while anyways. School is getting bitchy so I have to keep up with it. Next term I can do more though.

Re: Top One Handers list

I wasn't trying to talk to you like you weren't here Zageron. That implies that I somehow wouldn't say the exact same thing right to you if you asked.

I think that you're incredibly zealous in your attempts to make one-handed playing out to be extra-special, despite the fact that in at least one other thread you seem to have admitted that you understand that the style you play is and should be irellevant to whether a great score gets respect or a crappy score doesn't.

You just really do often post in a way that sounds like you just want to get there to be official recognition for a list that you'll actually be near the top of.

Re: Top One Handers list

the fact that you choose a method of play that may or may not inhibit your ability to achieve scores as high as people who use another style does not make your scores worth any more than scores achieved a different method.

Very true. Not only does this apply to one-handed playing vs. two-handed, it shares the same principle as two or three-fingered one-handed playing vs. four-fingered one-handed playing. It all boils down to why you are playing. If you are playing to get awesome scores, it won't make sense to play anything other than spread. If you are playing for fun, you can play whatever the heck you want.

On the other hand, I don't see the problem with attempting to glorify certain playing styles. People can choose whether they want to acknowledge the glorification. It only matters to the people who care, which is how things should be. If people don't care, it doesn't matter to them, and they can live their lives being unaffected by it. It doesn't hurt them at all.


Random, unrelated thought: I want to try one-handed with my hand upside down.

Random, not so unrelated thought: I'm being so indecisive in this post, I fail. At least I'm being objective.

Very true. It only becomes a problem when people lose that sense of objectivity and begin to press their ideas of glorification on everyone else.
