I DON'T CARE!!!!!

[Colchester Kev]

blonde is a community, If someone is sitting in their bedroom trying their damndest to win a game of poker, and they get a horrific outdraw/badbeat why shouldnt they put it on the forum ....they cant turn round to someone and say "did you see that, that was sick" so they post it on the forum as a way of letting off steam and getting it out of their system.

If you open a thread and start reading it, only to find its a bad beat ....stop reading if it bothers you.... simple. Alternatively you could always do a "Flushy" and post a sarcastic reply.

This thread should be deleted - what uter drivvel!!!

Seriously, let people post what they want unless it is a personal attack or just out of order.

If you dont want to read someone's post, then dont - simple. What is more annoying than a thread you are not interested in, is when people then waste their time by posting on that thread!

I would say that most people on here do not read half the threads as it doesnt interest them - what interests one person doesnt necessarily interest another person. Does that make that thread warrant deletion? Of course not.

Blonde is a friendly forum (well most of the time) which produces some good debates

I posted a hand on here the other night as it seriously made me laugh - obviously others did not find it funny - and thats fair enough.

Each to their own

I thought this was a poker forum 

My point being , when Paul ( for instance ) tells me about whats happened in a game , whether it's a beat beat or not , i have no idea what he's talking about .
He can come on here and get some feedback and most of you know what he's talking about , i hope i explained that how i meant lol.

So i say if somebody wants to post about there game , whatever that entails , let them and if you don't wanna read it or cant be arsed to post a DECENT  responce don't .

The point is Paul that being hoodwinked into reading someone elses tuff luck is annoying.
This is why people react badly to disguised beats, because they ARE disguised.
Just put "BB" or "bad beat" in the title then the folks that aren't interested won't read and consequently won't be sarcastic or abusive.

This morning i go into the poker hand ANALYSIS forum to have a look through the threads. Yet i get 3 posts in and they are all bad beats very simple hands where there is almost no strategic interest in the hand. I enjoy reading strategy questions and listening to other peoples view on hands, occasionally adding my own viewpoint.

Surely this is not the point in hand ANALYSIS forum and this is probably one of the reasons why it is often the only forum on here i skip on my visit to the forum as a whole. It really is quite annoying and i feel like i have wasted my time.

My solution is to actively encourage posters if they want to vent to put bad beat in the title, so others don't have to read it.

IFM, you are banding people together here.

Some people are genuinely asking for feedback, some are posting as they find it funny, and some are just letting off steam.

I would suggest that if spending 5-10 seconds of your life reading a thread only to find what you call a "disguised" bad beat story, annoys you sooo much - you really need to get out more.

Interestingly, do you find the "ive won this" and "ive won that" threads annoying? - just asking

Fair point Longy - trouble is, you can have a situation where you suffered a bad beat, but are genuinely asking if you could of played it differently. Now if you put "bad beat" in the title, most will not read it and hense you will not get any decent feedback

If the poster geniunley needs some help or there is some interesting strategy involved in the hand that is fine. Another point maybe not to post results of the hand straight away so anybody replying will be not biased by the result.

I think everything posted on this forum is offensive and insignificant, and everyone involved should be summarily executed with immediate effect.

See? Give Free Speech to extremist banjoists & see what happens.

PS - Can Rhythm Guitarists Post Bad Beat Stories?

[Tractor]

I think there should be a bad beat child board in the hand analysis section.

Isn't Blonde about all members no matter what their poker experience and expertise? All the way from the big time, big stakes players right down to the low level duffers such as me.

As these posts tend, but not exclusively, to come from newer players I don't think it's fair to try and exclude them.

If someone wants to post a "bad beat" story be it, for sympathy or for advice then let them! They clearly want to post and probably feel much better for doing so.

Don't think I've ever posted a new thread one myself although I may have been known to subtly give brief details of an exit hand from a tourny every now and again!  

Anyway, surely posting a bad beat story should be part of every poker player's learning process!

As Paul, I think, implies in his post is there really any difference between a "bad beat" post and an "I've won this" post?

Are there really that many bad beat posts anyway?
