cwes, i know i'm supposed to be a troll and rip you by saying your ranting was completely incoherent.

but i liked your analysis.

... and i like these philosophical/math debates.... as opposed to "how would you have played this?"-----> "it was obvious he had pocket aces, you should have folded" like, huh??

definitely the river costs me alot of $$$$$$ (1) calling raises when two players tell me i'm beat; 2) betting out with nuts and a tight image when i know a maniac could start the betting for me and i could check-raise a few people; 3) inadvertedly exposing my cards before the showdown (good one); 4) not notice the potential straight; 5) getting rivered continuously (two guys clapped when i won a hand on the river)

i get the idea i just started this thread so i could complain.
