what's your poker wisdom?

Nietzsche!?! That's my quote:

"And as the lesser surrendereth himself to the greater that he may have delight and power over the least of all, so doth even the greatest surrender himself, and staketh- life, for the sake of power.

It is the surrender of the greatest to run risk and danger, and play dice for death." - Nietzsche, Thus Spake Zarathustra

There are no good or bad hands. Just good or bad situations.

I never stated that it was harmful... and never said that no one should do it. Jesus, if all it takes is a pen and paper to make you play better then by all means do it!

All I'm saying is I want to no more about the mistake when I make one.

Well I'm a total newbie!

Can't really argue with the first one..

I'm interested in why you always bet your draws. Surely a free card is often better? Do you mean in order to elicit folds?

I'd be interested to hear opinions about this.

My best offering is 'never play poker with a man named Doc'.
Oh and TJ CLoutier apparently said...

Draws are death.

Warik, I cannot recall that quote or how accurate your paraphrase is. But I'm posting my chip-and-a-chair experiences under Psychology to dispute that.

Crap. I can't find it. I KNOW I didn't make that up (or maybe I did? man I'm brilliant). If I ever find it I'll post it here.

Online NL (100BB stacks) could really be beaten so simply by just playing AA KK QQ for force and every other pocket for sets.

Jay, do you really mean that every SB could be folded, AK mucked on the button, you could check/fold 99 on a 664 flop, etc., and come out ahead just by playing AA/KK/QQ and sets? It's hard for me to believe, since those hands come around so rarely.
