Talking a player into calling

[mondatoo]

Great read

To OP i never feel like its a good idea for me to talk during a hand as i worry i'll seem over confident when im strong and vice versa when im weak.

As has already been stated basically to put it in to simple maths for me i would say if i was guna win 75%or more of max pot avail that i could by opp folding when i'm likely to be 70% fav to win then i'm happy to take the pot down and see my opp fold whereas if i'm only going to win something like 50-55% max pot avial by my opp folding than id want him to call me.

JC, I'm not upset at all and I don't think you're evil, and I don't take this stuff personally for a second. I do think you set a bad example about what the PHA Board should be used for though. You didn't enter this discussion with positive pearls of wisdom, you entered it negatively by slating me. You have done this numerous times in the past. You reveal in your latest post why you do this. And this is because you see me on a pedestal and you want to push me off it to join the "rest of us". I see things differently to you. I see "the rest of us" as the ones genuinely interested in discussing poker on the pedestal, and you as the isolated one down below interested in using the board to score points.

I don't know how my couple of contributions to this thread before you arrived were either the work of a doyen of poker analysis or bullshit.

You say you are always striving to better yourself so why not forget this agenda of pushing me off the pedestal you have put me on and offer up the pearls of wisdom you have instead? Wouldn't this be a better use of the PHA Board for everyone concerned?

JC,  I don't think you're evil

I do....evil genius, our JC. Gotta love 'em.

 I believe a dialectic PHA thread is often the most productive.

Lets have a "wordoff" !!

JC v Mantis

JC won the "humouroff" by a landslide.
