Wanna play hold em: stick to BRAM games, forget internet

[Stuck]

Dear ATE,

i) Is online poker rigged?

ii) Should I fold pocket Aces if the pot is seriously multiway? I mean they always seem to get cracked by some moron playing 76 or something.

iii) Are pot odds really that important? The math makes my head hurt.

iv) Why do people raise AK preflop? I mean, you're basically not going to win with Ace high. I just like shouting 'AK no good' when I turn over my pocket deuces LOL LOL.

Thanks in advance for your expert advice.

Look, DIPSTICK, learn to read. Currently, ATE plays up to 30-60, I never said I couldn't advise, on bigger.

Also, your SNOTTY additude, reflects a total ignorance: The level of game someone plays, usually has NOTHING to do with their ability.

You take some CLOWN, such as T.K., who just HAPPENS to win a RCC (relativly close confrontation) and now he has the bucks for 400-800

Conversly, many of the best players in history, have personal, mental, and/or substance abuse problems, which cause them to be almost always BROKE

If you had ANY knowledge, WHATSOEVER, you would know this.

I guess this site also has many people, who suffer from:

SELECTIVE READING ABILITY. Did you see ATE say that he was the best PLAYER in the world? Nooooooooo, you DID NOT>

Everyone knows, that ATE's claim to fame, is in the results of my STUDENTS. Since the death of my wife, in 1992 (when I was a full time professional) I have not been able to play well, MOST OF THE TIME.

This does not, however, stop me from teaching others, to get rich.

My best student, who I call "Nice Guy, Jewish Surname" (Ed note: NGJS, is one of the best players in the world, most of the "name" players know him, and do business with him. But, Y'all have never heard of him, and to protect his privacy, that's the way it'll remain) Has earned MILLIONS through years of successful poker. And, even though he knows Roy Cook, and most of the "name" players, he has said that he learned more from ATE, than anyone.

I have helped so many people, earn enough through poker to live the lives they want, that ATE has lost count.

Still, you can bet that with all my physciatric problems, I still play WAYYYYYY better . . . . ThEN YOU! and that's for sure.


Also, the limit of a game, has NOTHING to do with the skill level of the players playing.

ATE has been in 1-2 games, where everyone was tough

And you think that the bigger games have better players . .

HA! HA ! HA!

Again, this is reflective of your ignorance. In fact, the opposite is true. although obviously there are some very good players in the larger games, for the most part it's just people with more money, and the live ones play MUCH worse, than even the .50-1.00 players.

So, playing a bigger game, means exactly: NOTHING.

Also, your %&@%&%&@$%&@$%king statement, suggests that 30-60 is a small game.

HA! In bram games, with the way they play in the post-moneymaker post WPT world, an ATE-trained student, can easily make a quarter millin a year, in said 30-60 games, in BRAM games, and 300-900K a year, online.

If this is small, there ain't a dog in Georgia

Next time, make sure you at least READ the ate article, and KNOW what you're talking about, before opening your YAP

I laughed a bit. I think the best part was:

Ok, now I've played for 18 years now, and beaten every game that there was, and currently ,IS... In addition to being a pro and semi-pro, I was also, and stil occasionally deal the game. I've been a corporation player, propisition player, house player, and also casino CHEF.

Your style is slightly reminiscent of Ray Zee, though less succinct. Perhaps you should consider submitting your articles to the 2+2 magazine. Since you have such an aversion to profiting from your contributions to the literature, you could donate the $200 fee to charity.
