Default Re: Stupid fish (bad beat post)

Isn't the aim of poker to take the actions you would take if you were able to see your opponent's cards and to force your opponents to not take similar actions and therefore make "mistakes"? (cf. Theory of Poker, Sklansky)

No, it's to make the best play against the RANGE of hands your opponents could hold. This is the difference between correct play and "perfect" play. (cf. Ace on the River, Greenstein)

Therefore, how can you say that I played badly??

This is a copout. It's an explaination that cannot be proven/disproven. I see people use this excuse for bad play all the time. Did they show you their cards?

You're being results oriented.

Regardless, the original aim of this post was not to show how BAD a beat it was... or how bad/great my play was...

We already knew this.

Did I mention you're being results oriented?
