i could'nt disagree more. the only way i would be glad he called here is if my hand held up. it did'nt happen that way, so i don't understand the logic in saying he should be glad the guy called.

May I suggest:

i already have TOP and your response does'nt mean much. i don't understand what you're getting at. having TOP does'nt, in any way, change how i feel about the hand. i still would'nt be glad he called--- unless my hand held up. say what you want. i make money at my level regardless.

Now this seems to be the purest form of result orientation. Please do continue down this path, it will make me alot of money over the long run.

as long as you're not making money off me at my table, do you. i surely don't care. it does'nt change how i feel about the hand.

Open the book and read the Fundamental Theorem of Poker. Repeat as necessary.

The Fundamental Theorom of Poker. If your opponent had been able to see your cards, he would have played the hand differently.

To put it more bluntly: You got your money in with way the best hand, so don't complain that your opponent made a mistake and called you. It's good that he called you. Put yourself in this position enough over the long run and you will be a winner.

Gigabet didn't cost you [censored]. You got sucked out on, big deal. Everybody who has posted in this thread has suffered way, way worse than that, usually multiple times over the course of one session.

If you think there's anything to discuss about this hand, you're retarded and should stop playing poker.

Ah-ha. We've discovered the problem. FEEL. It's just cards. Apparently you didn't read Giga's other post. Go back and start over. You don't start with Theory of Stacksizes and hope to understand the man, without reading (first I may add) Almost there with success and failure


Do I need to say more? Why is how you feel have anything to do with the results? Are you playing correct? If you don't know, then I wish you the best of luck finding out.

While I'm on my soapbox, I'm going to add more. This is very important guys. Have any of you watched a STEP 5 game? Or any of the higher level games. It's not 5 handed by level 4. In fact, it's probably still 9-10 handed. At the higher levels, where the skill tends to even out, it requires alternative thinking to seperate yourself from the pack. In the lower levels, we call this kind of play fishy. At the higher levels, it's creative.

Back in the real world, for most of the rest of us. Playing in games in the sub $215s. The reason why this game is profitable is because you can avoid fishy plays and players. Your dominant hands can and will be paid off by players who do not have a full grasp of the game. In fact, you don't even need a full grasp. Just some basic knowledge, and you can crush the $20+2s.

As I have said before, many of Gigabets more interesting posts are exactly that. Interesting. They, unfortunately, don't apply to us. But we get a glimpse into his world. Sort of like reality tv. It doesn't mean we will have opportunity to apply it on a regular (if ever) basis. So, treat it that way.
