Thanks guys, I just thought this forums is to help, educate, and inform others of poker. I guess I'm wrong.

First of all, your statement isn't even true. People don't get more thirds than first and seconds. If it happens that your results end up this way, the only explination is exactly as pergesu said. Your ITM play sucks. There is no other explination. Your question was vague so the answer was vague.

Okay does one generally want to take a coinflip ITM?( Where he can eliminate a player.) Or do you want to be in the lead, eg 70/30,60/40?

Ok, you seem sincere in your question so I'll give you some advice. Be more specific. This question is still too vague. Post an actual hand that you had to play and be sure to include stack/blind sizes, your cards, and your position. This is the best way to learn on this forum.

Does one not comprehend the meaning of vauge....post a hand give a specific example and stop telling respected posters to Eff off or eff themselevs because you asked a stupid question and procceded to follow it up with another stupid question...my first advice would be to read the page in HOH where they talk about things you need to take into account in a given hand or how about tell us how you would come into this 50/50 situation...stack sizes maybe...if your pooshing or calling the raise, GIVE US SOMETHING...my second piece of advice is walk into oncomming traffic....I'm sorry that was mean

What do you want us to tell you? You asked how a person wouldn't get the results they want. This is because they're not playing in a way that will produce those results.

You might be playing too aggressively. You might be playing too passively. You might be too tight with your calls, or you might be too loose.

There's no diagnosis for "too many seconds and thirds." The only way is to actually analyze your play. Post some hands, tell us how you're playing...but don't ask questions that can't be answered satisfactorily to you.

I think it has something to do with either rappers or homosexuals. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I've heard homosexual rappers do tend to get a lot of thirds.
