Default Re: So I hear you have to learn to play poker now

I know, PM. My post was at least partly tongue-in-cheek. Humor with a point. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Frankly, this isn't good news for the poker world in general. Depending on how it shakes out, it could actually spread the Party skins players across many sites. That's probably not a good thing for those of us who play those sites.

I also admit I do not understand poker in the same way you guys do. My game is very different, which I have come to realize over the past couple of weeks here. I do ok with my pathetic abilities, not to the extent you guys do, but I'll take it. I'm not at all a math whiz, as all who know me know very well. But, I am better at other things that come in handy when playing poker. It helps to be both, but very few have that combination.

What delight I may be enjoying is coming from those who are in a tizzy, Chicken Littles who are cognizant of how their world has changed. For them, the sky really is falling. I would feel bad for them, if they weren't the ones who make often display an air of superiority.

No offense taken.

That's cool.

I realized when writing my reply that there was some chance you were actually joking there, but it wasn't big enough (as I'm not very familiar with your posting history) to make me not repond ... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm just as opinionated as some and slightly less notorious, only threatened never banned.

Come on Cactus. Dude. Why would you enjoy the finacncial loss that many people on this forum are having to cope with today? These are the people trying to help you with your game. Schadenfreude is a lousy emotion, especially public.

The people feeling shipwrecked by this include the highest-volume, highest-stake players on this forum. I don't know your history, so I apologize if I'm wrong, but I'd bet that many times their "air of superiority" was just them trying to help you understand that push-botting is the mathematically correct way to play in many situations. Let me repeat: they're trying to help you. And now for thanks you're dancing a jig because they just lost a bunch of money.

And even if they were being asses, kicking them while they're down is not exactly golden rule is it? I've read many of your posts and I think you're a good guy, but you're acting like all these people are finally somehow getting what they deserve, and I just don't see it.

Belly, you are correct, sir, and I do humbly apologize. I have behaved badly and am ashamed.

Karma, and now I've put myself into the same position. Not good.

Thanks for pointing it out and giving me a chance to apologize.
