Default Re: \"I Play the Board,\" I lose the pot, I miss a bet.

I'm sorry if I'm misreading your tone here, but there seems to be some hostility in your reply. Did I miss something that I did here?

As to your reply, while I thank you for your thoughts, I have some questions/comments:

"I am not going to reread the particulars of a month old thread,"
Why not? It wouldn't impact your answer or your understanding of my questions?

" but there are some important rules to rember in poker. The best hand wins,"
If that were true, poker would be pretty boring.

" if you want to win at the showdown without the best hand you are either a nit or an angle shooter (either way you should go back where you came from and leave the players alone)."

This is a universal "you" and not me in particular?

" The floor is going to rule in the best interest of the game, if that means invoking their right to rule contrary to the written rules they will do so." and
"if the rules don't reflect what an experienced floorman rules, it is the rule that needs to be changed"

Do you see where this could be a problem?

"A common mistake made by people new to poker is to think that there are written rules that tell the players and everyone else how to play. "
I wasn't sure if you were referring to me here also, or people in general.

I did have a specific reason for posting, but I'll wait to see any further responses first.
