Just a bit of advice, isn't there a famous saying about not counting your chickens before they hatch?

both of your questions got very well thought out and complete answers. I'm not sure what you were hoping for...flopping a full house and a preflop decision usually aren't going to generate the best discussion. Also, you posted in the wrong forum...try SSNL or Medium NL for better advice.

Without reading your post or responses.

You say poker players talk about money. What else is there going to playing poker at a serious level?

My friend, said I should come here to talk about poker, that it was a good site to get feedback from other players. So far I think I've asked 2 or 3 questions and no one has been able to provide any real information to my questions.

Most of the posts on here have to do with players dreaming about how much money they'll make next year, what the tax ramifications are, and in general just patting each other on the back for being oh wise poker players,

Just a bit of advice, isn't there a famous saying about not counting your chickens before they hatch? Maybe you should spend more time focusing on poker and less time on your winnings, and in the end you'll see you've actually been focused on your winnings the correct way.

Later, gotta find the answers to some tough poker questions, pretty sure no one on here knows or if they did they wouldn't tell me.

I'm sorry you feel that way, I do see a great deal of truth to what you are saying. It's important to focus strategy more than "how much money your going to make." I think that many players think about strategy and theory so much that there heads hurt. I'm more fun to think about money. But, you can find actual help!!!! Just ask you questions, and any questions or search for them. Not everyone just wants to poor out there money making tips that have taken extremely long to learn. This forum takes time, just like anything else in the world. But, I guarantee this forum can make you money!!!! you just gotta work for it. If you have a question you can always message me, I'll try not to give you a BS answer!!!
Peace out

If the OP would bother to go to the strategy forums then he would see more strategy discussions into every single little freaking detail of the game to certainly satisfy anyone who is trying to learn.


The forum is not that complicated to figure out nor to navigate.



regarding the heads-up match....my money is on lehighguy.

OP seems to have some significant tilt potential just based on these posts.

Thank you CaucasianAsian,

Man I was just frustrated, because I want to talk poker non stop man, I hate going to work, because all it is, is keeping me from spending time learning more about poker, I am always at work waiting to go home and sign onto to Pokerstars and play some poker, I want to come home and log on here and see things about poker, go to cardplayer.com and read things, go to ESPN poker club and read the new Phil Gordon article,

I told a friend tonight I think if I was having sex, I wouldn't enjoy it, because I'd be thinking about poker.

This is were my interest level is, so having to sort through 200 posts about Taxes was very frustrating to me looking for poker strategy questions, since I have been reading and posting in the medium stakes Hold'em NL and PL forum and it has been much better since someone suggested that forum to me, in fact I saw you reply in that forum as well.

Thank you for your kind words and offer to help
