If you can't beat two bad players who are playing any and every hand, I think these two bad players are playing against other equally bad players.

Didn't you read his post?

consistantly win with almost nothing.

Consistantly winning. That means consistantly lucky. You can't compete with that.

didnt realize it was only for magazine discussion since i have gotten some response. maybe you need to make everyone aware of the limits of discussion. interesting that a poker site with a forum would not want anyone asking a question about poker

Everyone is made aware of it. The subjects for each forum are described below them. You just didn't bother to pay attention to them. You were informed of your mistake.

Just post in one of the MANY forums actually dealing with your issue.

In fact, there is a forum called "Home poker"
All anyone is asking you to do is look before you post.

Don't get mad at us just because you didn't pay attention.

Cute, but not at all clever. There is plenty of poker discussion going on in the APPROPRIATE FORUMS.

Try reading before you post. It works wonders.

Your powers of observation are truly amazing. We are all stunned by the revelation that you can't beat bad players.

I guess these folks must be really bad at math, because it sounds like they can defy the laws of probability!
