Default Re: Thoughts?

Hopefully the forum will help n00bs take another look at the hand, and maybe look at different options of how to play it, so maybe it wouldn't have been as bad, etc etc. Some of the bad beats posted here aren't really bad beats at all, they were misplayed premium hands.

With the brags & variance, I think this is good as well. Everyone goes through a downswing they never thought possible. Sometime just getting it off of you chest will make you feel 10x better, even if no one else cares. The brags might even help people who are running bad, letting know that it does get better. Or if the people that are running bad just suck, this encourages them to deposit more money looking for the gold mine . [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I think that if you are going to whine though, you should still have to show some hands, because it may not bad luck, it may be that you suck.

Other GOOD Poker players are the ones who are least likely to be sympathetic to you.

I cannot lend any legitimacy to your whining.
