Stop talking at the tables (LC)

[OrianasDaad]

Most fish will remain that way in the face of overwhelming evidence. A lack of self-honesty goes hand-in-hand with being a bad poker player. I don't worry about educating the fish too much. There's lots of fish.

If it really bothers you, then just try to find a way to change the subject at the table.

I've always wondered about the double standard. Many here don't want the bad players to know about 2+2, but if one of them makes their way here, then we go out of our way to teach them to play better. It's probably two completely different sets of posters, but it just seems kind of wonky.

I play in local sports bar freeroll tourneys sometimes (they are for fun or house cash or some prizes, etc.) and they usually have a nice crowd, say 80+ people.

Obviously most of hte players are god awful terrible but alot of the regulars are actually pretty dang good.

Anyway I was playing at this new place I had never played before and after I got knocked out I noticed a lady (probably 35-40 years old) who was either there with someone or had already been knocked out, reading a copy of SSHE in the corner and a few thoughts crossed my mind

1. I hope she knows thats a limit book and not no-limit.
2. How the hell does some 35 year old woman know about SSHE???! I hope she isn't think of playing online.

What do you mean? They sell SSHE at all the bookstores and lots of people know about 2+2....even old people....David and Mason have been publishing for quite some time.

your're an idiot for making the millionth post about this.

just because a fish reads a book or even reads a forum doesn't mean he will apply it anyway. 2+2 is everywhere, hell raymer is the world champ and endorses it on the back of every 2+2 book which is a majority of the books and at every book store in the country.

if someone wants to learn this game bad enough they will, period and that is with or without the help of some yayhoos on party spamming this site.

most newbies end up in OOT anyway so chill.

Man... she was *35*???

That's freakin *old*, dude!

Most 35-year-olds can't even read any more, much less figure out how to get on line.

She probably doesn't even have sex any more.

I hope I never get to be 35.
