Lolz!

Bad players love the variance excuse.

Love the AKK example. It all makes sense to me now.

When you bet the flop, the turn and the river, the guy will obviously think you are triple barrelling with 9 2.

Pretty sure your Grandad would be pretty disappointed when it turned out he had one of lifes losers as a Grandson.



My game is quite low variance because I play with a controlled, measured style, my graphs go up and up and very seldom come down, I expect yours look like the seismograph after a major earthquake. If you keep playing very loose and raising raising then after a while no one will respect you. I expect if you keep going round slagging off people's grandads then people don't respect you very much anyway. I did not know my grandad for very long but he was a great man, and introduced me to poker from an early age. He taught me about the importance of getting reads on other players (that's where you use body language to put them on a precise hand) and odds/pot odds (you may have heard about these from other players but I'm sure their meaning escapes you).

I liked the first reply from Railtard. Some other good replies too.
 I generally tend to C bet about 50% of the pot although on a more draw heavy board, particularly if it's flushing, i tend to bet about 75% of the pot. Obviously, this will change depending on stack sizes / blinds / opponents tendencies etc. Just wondering about what others reckon re the bet sizes. Should i be betting a 'more or less' standard amount, regardless of board texture and no of opponents? (point taken about the draw free board BTW)

Have you even played Stu? He's a NIT. Raising with AK- OMG that's CRAZY POKER. CRAZY!!!! Call the POKER POLICE. StuHopkin raise with AK!!!!

I have never played him and frankly, I hope I never will, given the number of times he has insulted me already never having met me. In live poker the dealer chooses where the players sit and I find it hard to concentrate with some guy's hand on my knee all the time. I'll be looking him up online however, I'm sure I could use the boost to my bankroll.

If you keep playing loose? I dont know if I can take this argument seriously when you are such a tool.

Pretty sure that 99% of people on this forum would not manage to equate raising AK pre to being a loose player.

I dont overly worry about respect as I but little value in what other people think of me, or to the point pretty much what they think in general.

Apologies about your grandfather comment though, if he taught you about the live readz he must have been da man.

I assume your graph is successful due to being able to soul read all your opponents and making amazing folds just like your forum name.

Since when has the dealer chosen where people sit? Do you play live STT's?

Playing 1/2 now on Tilt. Bring it.

I learned from an early stage in my poker career that 'you can spot good players from their folds'. Anyone can call hoping the other guy is bluffing and they're some kind of hero, but it takes skill and great great reads to know when your KK is probably up against AA. Players just give off this information without realizing it. You can't teach that type of skill to just anyone though, so sadly, you will never know it. You will have to rely on finding some other donkey who is slightly looser than you or drunker than you.
Have looked you up on Tilt, at $1/2, can't see your name yet, was expecting a name like '4Rent', 'NitYourgamesukz' or something similar that an unsavoury character would think up.

In all of the main big money poker games in Glasgow we are assigned seating, yes, things may be different in your local spieler, I expect they just have namecards on the table with things like 'Ex-con' 'Pinkfish' 'Grimmerboy' and 'Nitbasher' on them  Roll Eyes
