Gettin It

[G Baade]

First off I want to say thanks.

I started posting here soon after I started playing poker. I was your typical TV watching, hey that looks fun, I can do that, guy! I put 50 bucks into Paradise Poker and jumped into a 30 RnA. After I busted a guy I wondered how the hell he got back in. Then when I got busted I wondered how the hell I could get back in.

I kept putting my 50 into various sites and kept busting time and time again. Thats when I discovered 2+2. I jumped right in to the fray. Posting several of my bad beat and online poker is rigged stories. After being told I was a moron I left with disgust vowing never to post again.

I never did post again, until today. But I did continue to read the forums. Especially the Probability and Psychology forums. I wanted to understand these stats and odds everyone talked about. I wanted to know why I should feel alright when my AA gets cracked by Q 10 suited. How is it supposed to make me feel better that "In the long run" I will win alot more than I lose with that hand.

With that info very slowly starting to sink in. I bought some books and studied diligently. I also tried to apply the lessons learned into my game. To my suprise I started to see results. No question it was a slow process. But over time I started to "Get It"!

I still have a ton to learn and hopefully I am allowed to work my way back into this place. I have tons of questions on hands I have played. The info here is priceless and my game has improved so much because of it. Please forgive me for my former stupidity! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]


And for all the new online poker is rigged posters. Try this one on for size.

37 person tourney at a VFW hall last night. We just got moved to the final table. 9 people left and only 5 get paid. First hand at the table UTG moves all in. Next seat chip leader reraises all in. Seat after that calls. Next seat folds I fold and then another player calls. 4 players all in first hand. Cards are flipped AA KK QQ JJ! Hows that for a online is rigged hand?

This is just me apologizing and saying thanks to all the 2+2 vets. I would be a bigger fish than I am without your help!

2+2 is the brainfood that turns gills into wings.
