However, I'd strongly recommend you avoid engaging in discussions criticizing other players' hands. It's only going to lead to bad things - things around you will get much more unpredictable. [/ QUOTE ] Umm, what? That's kind of the point of this forum, to discuss, evaluate, and yes, critisize the hands of both ourselves and others...

Re: Tourney report/some hands from the Legends of Poker $330NL at the Bike
Why is it bad to bet a dead pot with a made hand?

Re: Tourney report/some hands from the Legends of Poker $330NL at the Bike
Are you talking about when I said to him I am surprised he called with that hand?
I don't players they suck as I don't want to educate him. And why would this make things around me more predictable? If so, fine. I have no problem making difficult decisions. So can you please explain what you are talking about.

i assume you mean a dry side pot.
it is okay...he was right to bet it there. Especially far from the money, there is little to be gained from knocking someone out.

I ask him if he told him how lucky he got (not in a mean way), he says there is a lot of luck in NL (which I don’t really agree with). [/ QUOTE ] No luck in NL?? Yeah right.

Re: Tourney report/some hands from the Legends of Poker $330NL at the Bike
I never said there is no luck.
But to hear a guy with two bracelets say there is a lot of luck, almost as if he plays to get lucky and uses it to justify his play, was surprising to me.

Re: Tourney report/some hands from the Legends of Poker $330NL at the Bike
There IS a lot of luck in a tourney. You play the best you can, but you have to get lucky at some point. You have to get decent cards. Then you have to get a favorable flop. Then you have to have someone have a 2nd best hand to call your bet. Then you have to have your hand hold up. Then you have to repeat a few times.
I think there is much more luck involved than we who study the game would like to admit.

Re: Tourney report/some hands from the Legends of Poker $330NL at the Bike
Yes, in an individual hand, you obviously need a ton of luck.
But, over hundreds of hands, skill wins out. I consider my luck to be when somebody plays terribly in a hand and gives me a ton of chips when I shouldn't have gotten them. Not by calling poorly and sucking out. I also consider it good luck, not to have had bad luck in the tourney. Heck, my only two great starting hands of the night were where I lost almost all my chips. But, you can't rely on luck as the way to make money in a tourney. Skillful players are going to be the ones making money in the longterm..not those hoping to get lucky.
