I will CRUSH all those who think I'm weak-tight. that's so dumb. I hate you. I hate you all. so like, drapes is doing laundry right now. you all know I can't do it because I hate doing laundry and gave up my World Champ laundry belt to Yugo some time back. See, because she's doing my laundry right now I can't vent to her about how all these online idiots think I'm weak-tight. THE OUTRAGE....ridiculous. I can't believe it.

balls. the bigger yer balls, the better u do in poker. ok the diff between a great 109er that struggles in the 215s and a great 215er that pwns everything is pretty simple. PERFECT bubble play. and i mean perfect. no mistakes. not occasionally making a -ev shove, occasionally letting someone keep their bb when u dont wanna shove 23o, etc. perfect.

[/ QUOTE ]

From my so far limited experience, this is also the case in the $109s..

I think I disagree with this, depending on how strongly you mean 'perfect' to be.

wrong. the only way to play perfectly is to know your opps hole cards every single hand. it doesn't happen. you are 100% incorrect.

Well, it depends on how you define perfectly, obviously. If you knew the ranges of hands that everybody would make certain actions with exactly, then you could play perfectly with that level of information, for example. I do agree with your general point that there aren't perfect poker players, though, simply because it's a really nebulous concept. How well you do and how well you play really depends heavily on who you match up against. To get enough information about these players to allow "perfect" play would take an unrealistically large number of hands; to be sure, much information can be gleaned from fewer, but perfect is a pretty lofty standard.

Back to the original topic: there are many ways that I could improve. Poker has been recreational for me, and as such I've enjoyed some pretty execrable bankroll management ($30 rebuys several nights in a row was perhaps not the strongest of plans) and occasionally poor game selection. I'm working on improving the first. I also tend to fall into fancy play syndrome and enjoy playing lots of hands. This isn't too bad until either a) I decide I should win more of them, or b) I think that the average player I'm up against is making huge adjustments to me and consequently I end up making incredibly boneheaded calls. I like calling.
