Many ways to play - stop whining!!!

I still don't know who won the asstrout award for that Weds game...Was it Memberr or the sneezy dwarf?

Is an asstrout the same think as a donky? Or is an asstrout a player that fishes for the river flush and hits?
Please help me understand...So I can pass the proper definition on to Mooch!

The simple truth about this thread is that you'll never get a bumch of people to say "You're a great player, you play very well". Mostly because poker players have huge egos and can't admit that their own decisions may not have been the best at a given time. Every, and I mean every game I've ever played in has someone questioning something I did. And that's my goal. Since we're on the subject, this was a hand from the 1/2 game I played in last night:

I'm 2nd to act with 66, call $2, table folds to one more caller 2 positions before the button, folders to bb who checks. Flop 6 8 9 rainbow, BB checks, I bet 10, player raises to 25 (?), BB calls 25, I reraise all in for a ridiculous amount, like $260 or so. Player 2 folds quietly, BB is like "WTF man play like you have some sense, blah blah blah. There's only x amount in the pot, I should call you and try to double up just to put you on tilt." He ended up folding, I got exactly what I wanted, which was a nice size pot and nobody drew out on me. Only happy person out of us 3? Me.

If we were discussing public games, I would 100% agree with you!
