Seems like you guys spend more time talking about money than poker

Your a fish. An action loving fish. My telling you this won't stop you.

You know what [censored] you dude, let's play heads up than. Because I dare to ask a question, that makes me stupid, [censored] you man! like you ever wrote a book on poker. Arrogant cocky sack of [censored]. Personally I'm not in the mood tonight to come in here to Two plus Two and think that I was going to get "good advice" to any question I asked, instead i get "you're a fish" and Pictures of the Freaking Cartoon and Some Journey, Michael Bolton look a like dude.

I just broke my hand at work tonight, so I'm not in the mood for your [censored], [censored]!

sup bro?

[lehighguy]

I'll play heads up. I have an account on empire, I think you can make play private tables there. Post a time in this thread, preferably after christmas.

You saw poker on TV, you have dreams of granduer. Just like the other 95% of losing poker players. Your tilty and unstable. I don't mind saying this, because it will only make you tilt more in our HU match.

[MicroBob]

it's possible you played better in your most recent session.

it's unlikely that you played terribly 'well' though.


I also don't understand why you would make a post complaining about not getting any responses without actually checking to SEE whether or not you got responses.
Weird.

I'm coming here to learn all I can to be a winning player, be a GREAT player, in 2 years I want to be in the WSOP (2007), in 5 years I want to make the money and after that who knows, but I know I will never stop feeling like I have more to learn and I won't stop to spend the majority of my time counting money, I don't do that when I leave the Casino, I don't worry about money I worry about poker, I think maybe you should too

what a coincidence.
I too am interested in making a million-gazillion dollars as a great player.



FWIW - worrying about money is what great player should be doing.
Bankroll considerations are extremely important for any aspiring poker-professional

If you weren't worrying about money then you could constantly be taking tons of shots while WAY under-bankrolled like so many Phil Ivey wanna-be's.


Or you can be aware that bankroll considerations as well as playing within your own emotional/psychological tolerance (not playing so high that you are playing too scared or recklessly or whatever) and discuss that aspect too.


It's all important.


Obviously it's also important to just play good poker and play your hands as strongly as possible.
that's why we have SO MANY freaing threads in all of the strategy forums to discuss such things.


OP also seemed annoyed at all the forums in the green-bar.

The reason there are SO MANY strategy forums is precisely BECAUSE we have had so many strategy discussions.
By breaking the forums into sub-groups we are able to direct the traffic a bit better and not have one forum be overwhelmed with too many discussions at the same time.


This was happening most recently in the heads-up/short-handed strategy forum (HUSH). We had 1/2 6-max limit players asking newbie Q's in the same forum that was designated for $20/$40 or $50/$100 6-handed or even 3-handed or heads-up.
Traffic was getting to be WAY too high.

So the moderators broke it up into Small Stakes HUSH and Mid-High Stakes HUSH and I think it has become MUCH better for the higher-stakes experts to have THEIR side and the low-stakes newbie's to have THEIR side where they can continue to learn and develop.


I'm just not sure why OP wouldn't bother checking out the strategy forums instead of just coming here and blasting away.

the idea that there isn't enough strategy discussion on 2+2 is really laughable (since there's actually so much it would be virtually impossible to actually digest it all imo).
However, I do agree that we tend to have a lot of threads that border on the pointless.
Obviously many of these are in the internet-forum and in the other-topics forum (WPT forum too I think).
But if these topics don't interest you then just go to the forum with the content that DOES interest you. It's not that hard.

Microbob,

If you would stop wasting your time resoponding to posts like this, you would already be on top of the poker world.

Also, you forgot to mention to this poster that you were featured on ESPN WSOP coverage this year, so you obviously know what you are talking about [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
