No Apologies for My Play

[batgirl218]

Well potential kinda went out the window when you called all-in. Since Implied odds go bye byes during an all in situation since there is no more money to win in the future.

Like I said poker to me has always been an "eye of the beholder" kinda game.

Well yes lol I understand that. The potential assessment was made while I still had my feet on the ground.

Ok, thought over my comments to StevieJS and decided they were too snarly. I suppose I posted the 2 hand histories which confused you more to address what I felt was pressure to play within conformity, than to get advice. I think that's pretty clear when you read my comments that accompanied them. Thanks for the link.

Also, I would like to say that as much as I had a right to play my cards how I want, as everyone does, I have to agree you have a right to be a sore loser if you chose to be. How we play our cards determine our reputation at the tables, and so does our win/lose behavior. Last night the other gentleman at the table, who I knocked out with that call, said it best.

Thanks madisonsdad1, and everyone else at the table that didn't bash me, regardless of whether they thought my play was wrong.

Not to be judgmental or anything I am kinda wondering what you were looking for in replies?

I offered you advice, which you said you weren't looking for and that's cool some people don't.

Jen tried to play peacemaker and you stated you don't care about anyone's opinion, which again is your choosing and that's fine.

People gave you guff and you lashed back which is kinda the norm around here sadly.

So I guess i'm just kind of confused, you don't want analysis, you don't want someone fighting your battles, and you don't want people coming after you.

So what is left to say?

I think there is a way to disable comments on certain things if you don't want comments at all.

I know you had once mentioned Jen said she wanted more poker discussion and she has told me this as well which is why I try to write something up once a week for her.

However usually replies are required to have a discussion.

I dunno like I said whatever type of reply you want I will be more than happy to give you, i'm just not sure what you want, if you want anything.

I know from personal experience my blogs were catching me a lot of flack from certain people and Jen told me how to make the blogs friends only so that only people I want comments from would be able to make comments and more importantly read my blogs.

I dunno, just trying to help.

Oh, ok. lol Well then I guess you read what I wrote to Steve, and perhaps I should have blogged them both. Thought that myself last night. Gotta run errands, so will read your post a little closer when I get back.

Thanks

I did we just were both posting at the same time.

I am a rare breed who likes to read posts before passing blind judgment on them.

Oh hell no...don't blog it, this is a fun thread. Keep posting! Let your voice be heard... Really, why do us post anything, really? Personally I am a drama Queen and ASW!

I had my AA cracked yesterday, and I was surprised at what I saw the other player pushed all-in on me preflop. Well, I bubbled because of it. Really pissed me off...I finished my other game and turned the computer off. I am still pissy about it...LOL..In will try to find the hand history tonite, and start a thread./ LOL

Really sucks when You think you got the shit, and the other player turns over a set...ALL_IN preflop set...

I like what BG said...the cards have no idea about money or chips...That being said, there sure are a bunch of "unwritten" rules in writing about how to play properly. I know very little about this game called poker, but understand numbers enough to know it's a lottery with groups of liars trying to take each others money.

[Niccivan]

poker is poker. The problem is... there are books written by people who claim to have the "golden rules"... but in reality, these are only their interpreted golden rules. Monster hands, suited connectors, yada yada yada. The point is, everyone's rules on how to play the game are different. You can follow people's advice, pros advice on how they play and win, but what really matters is you finding your own style that works for you. If you aren't winning, then your style is shit. If you are winning, then your style obviously works for you. Don't let someone who doesn't like it try to make you change it. They are just mad because their style isn't winning.
