Default The Self Righteous Arrogant and MY POKER PROGRESSION

Why can't there be a little more respect for someone who posts here that is otherwise unknown?

Flawless Victory apparently is so good at reading people, he read my post and wants to wager that I wont be a winning player after 100K hands.

He also bashed the OP of My Poker Progression.

Many others are such poker vets' that their superiority requires them to post responses regarding the original post as a "joke".

If you dont like a post, why reply?

Save your time, i mean, afterall, in the time it takes for you to reply to some moronic fish post, you could be killing the competition in a 4,000-8,000 game, RIGHT?!??!

Most of those players would never be caught dead in a game that small.

I agree. They've got Andy Beal on speed dial, why waste time?

agreed. I think the tough love at these forums is beneficial for good and bad players/posters alike.

because some of the things said in these posts implied (very strongly) a misunderstanding of some very important concepts, some basic some more advanced, that needed to be dealt with.

It very often seems the only way for people to voice a critism without simply being brushed aside is to be very brusque about it.

For the record i agree and disagree with a lot of what the "vets" have said, but in both yours and alex sems post there were serious logical flaws, which may or may not prevent you from beating a game, but certainly will keep you for beating it for as much as you could.

winrate, expectation and variance are mathematical terms that don't neccisarily have anyhting to do with poker.

They are not soft concepts, where something is rigth sometimes andwrong sometimes, these are hard science and there is One right answer.

from reading your posts in other threads it seems clear to me that A) you don't really understand the math behind these terms, and B)don't understand how your opponents play effects these terms for both themselves and in reference to you.

edit: i mean this as constructively as possible, but the concept that is clearly illogical and consistent through your posts is the idea that your opponents good play can have anything but a negative effect on you in a zero sum game.

you know, that does make sense. perfect sense.

My previous posts still had lingerings of hitting a six week wall.

I want people to chase me with incorrect odds. I know i do.

What i posted earlier was me coming out of a blood bath that was so sick I had to document for future reference.

But one point still stands....If you put AA against seven other hands and see them all to the river....you're toast. This is exaggerated. But i hope you understand that after six weeks of sickness, I might be a little out of my mind.

Bad beats come with the territory, but every player eventually runs into a "wall" where they seem to be rampant. If you play as much as i do, it can be devastating. What got me out of the wall was moving up to 30-60. I see what you're saying, and i suppose the reason i said what i said in an earlier post was because I was tired of losing as a huge favorite.
