blonde poker forum

I have had one of the most depressing and yet exhillerating nights of poker i've ever had online, I have been stacked more times than Pammy Anderson, and yet I'm stil managing to stay just about level ( $6.25 ) down.

Now heres the Crux of the evening, I would not have been stuck for as much had i not develop a Lust to bust the donkeys that were stacking me by hitting shocking draws.

This got me thinking ( bear with me, it dont happen often ), That wave that somehow swallows us up after a horrific beat, that TILT, I found my self singing along to Fanfare for the commomn man using the words, "I'm gonna Bust YA"

Not catchy i know but Thats when it got me, I was no longer playing for fun or profit, but purely to bust a donkey before some other bugger did it.  Sad I know.

Once I realised my predicament, I sat out of my games and stuck the kettle on,  Whilst trying to sort out my head I find I'm still in "bust him " mode, Yes I know I'm vindictive.

So when we find we are in this mode, is it better to shut down the computer or take 5 and try again?

I decided to power through and tightened up, ( too far ) Then insiration struck, Time to act like a maniac and drum uo some action. Woo hoo!!

Lots of action and a daft table image, Back to the tight image after 2 rounds of the maniac.


Suddenly I'm getting great hands and people are stacking off left right and center, great stuff I hear you say,...  well not really, still down but its a hell of a rush!

So to the point of my post, where does the revenge kick in in poker?

This is something i have never experienced in the live game, so where does it come from.

No clue where it comes from but many people play worse against fish by moving down to their level.

I think once you realise a player is significantly bad you need to have a game plan in mind as to how their take their stack but if the situation you need doesnt develop well, dont get in their chasing with trash.

exactly....

revenge never comes into it for me. I don't care about getting even with someone...I care about taking his money and nothing else.

Especially in tourneys you sometimes see it happening (and Lord knows I sometimes felt the same way) some pratty fish at the table is annoying everyone by being loud and obnoxious and everyone wants him out of the tourney. That's when they start making stupid calls. The guy might be a bad player but that doesn't mean your cards are better against him.

My revenge against people like that is taking the money at the end of the night. they paid in..I'll take it thanks. It's people that take revenge that ensure someone who shouldn't win wins as they are the ones handing over the chips.


If I feel I'm getting a bit cranky I'lll just have a cuppa and then get back to it.

i do revenge but not on the same day ;ashamed;

I view revenge as a cardinal sin. It doesn't matter who you take the money from so long as you take the money.

It's one of the most frustrating things in poker I think...

There's an absolute nutcase at your table, who's gotten lucky three or four times with the worst hand and has an absolute wealth of chips. Every fibre in your body is screaming a Neagreanuesque "yum-yum", but you can't pick up a hand to bust the guy with.

After another ten or twenty hands of being dealt absolute junk (and not being able to pull any moves with the nutcase in every pot), finally you watch as another solid player picks up Q-Q - or similar - and busts the maniac.

The maniac is on the rail.

Then you pick up A-A.

You raise - and everyone folds.
