"B. Raising

If you must raise, it is generally best to make a miniraise. That way you avoid knocking anyone out of the pot. Since you think you have the best hand, you want as many people in the pot as possible."

Come on, you know that's funny. The whole thing's hilarious. Good stuff. . . .

In the replies. Watch which parts of the post people single out as terrible advice. Then wonder what they thought about all the advice that came before whatever they singled out.

It is hillarious that people made it past the gap concept and then started asking questions.

Just cause I choose to comment on a later section doesn't mean I didn't jsut then get it was a joke.

I just didn't find a need or funny comment to make about the earlier ones.

The gap principle states that you need a bigger hand to raise than to call a raise.

wrong way round, why have u posted this crap?

I'm convinced this was meant as a serious post, although much of it is indeed funny.

It actually looks like a fairly sensible way to play online for fun money. I think that's where he learned this style of poker.

I love the part about not ever raising with A,Q. But then he says that after 2 limpers, I limp with it, then a guy makes a big raise and I'm supposed to call? Them I'm going to surprise his AT of KQ with my AQ? More likely, I just walked into the only hand that would raise here....AA!

The original post was just an overlong and lame joke. The advice is not to be followed online, live, in this universe or some other.

Given some of the replys, I think this is better than just an overlong and lame joke. To someone who immediately recognizes it for what it is, then maybe that is an accurate description. Certainly there are worst posts up right now.

I initialy thought it was serious, then I read it and realised it had to be parody.
