So are you saying I should stop worshipping myself?

You're crazy

Funny you should mention those two guys for hand reading, add in Steve Giufre and they are the three best I know.


Ive gotten prety much numb anymore to the beats, its hard to get to, but when the suckouts come, just concentrate on making good decisions every hand, every session. Things work out in the end.

Today, a LAG bluff check-raised me on the turn with 36o on an 9259 board when I had AK and I called down to be shown his hand. For the rest of the session, I had to pay off his turn raises with good showdownable hands, and although it only happened 4 more times, I lost 3 of those 4 times and split the 4th time. He either made a metagame move against me because he could tell I was observant, or he got lucky. Whatever it was, I definitely felt like he outplayed me.

Sounds like he adjusted and you didn't. When he started to show down good hands, did you start thinking about folding?

</font><blockquote><font class="small">En réponse à:</font><hr />
Another hand, a TAG check-raised me on both the turn and the rivers because I had top trips top-kicker to his bottom full house. I got owned because I was aggressive just like most other 2+2ers would be.

What do you suggest you do instead? Check behind? Bet/Fold?

The fact of the matter is, unless you are Schneids or Dcifrths or some other random person who has played millions of hands and can read hands like no one else, there are tons of players out there that can beat you and play better postflop than you. Some of the LAGs on party are the best players I have seen.

Some of the LAGs on party are 2p2ers. Ask Entity about his 5/10 6m stats [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

This post may be a complete rambling. But whenever a 2+2er at my table gets sucked out on and berates the [censored] out of a LAG telling them how much they suck, I cringe. Get rid of your damn superiority complex. In the grand scheme of things, you and I are just tiny pawns in the world of poker, and we have a long way to go. Just being on 2+2 doesn't make you god.

I think SOP in these situations is to post their screen name.

This kinda seems like you are projecting your own shortcomings onto all of 2+2.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't even know what this means.

Edit: Are you suggesting I berate fish? Or that I think I am the best player at the table? Neither of these things has happened in a long time for me.

[/ QUOTE ]

You don't know what that means? Reread your first-third posts. If you don't get it then, you need help.

FWIW, please don't speak for me. I read/post on 2+2 for information and fun - it's not my life, and I don't affiliate myself in any way with the site.

You are taking this post the wrong way. If it doesn't apply to you, then there's no reason to get defensive and offended.

On another note, although it was a problem of mine a bit back in time, I've gotten over it. I also think it's not just me. I think Daneania was trying to say that it's only my problem, but I know of many posters here who have this problem, whether or not Daneania agrees.

Re: 2+2ers suck
 

The point is that the overwhelmingly vast majority of good, winning players don't berate others and that the beraters are generally marginal winners at best who lack the fundemental understanding of poker required to be a significant winner and not tilt. It's not 2+2ers who suck (at least not for the reason you suggest), it's players who berate others, regardless of whether or not they post here.

It's not only the berating. A lot of 2+2ers think they are entitled to a good winrate because they are "great players" who post on 2+2. I thought so too until last month.

I admit this post is kind of lame in several ways. I hope the mods lock it.

But at the same time, i just wanted to note that "good at poker" is not synonymous with "poster on 2+2" or whatever.


I don't see how my reg date has anything to do with anything?
