    Shouldn't you be trying to improve your game instead of complaining about RNG? I mean this isn't Pokerstars circa 2005 when people would call your ALL INS with a ten high just to see if you've got it.

    Push AA for 1500 into an (almost) empty pot. Two minutes after tournament begins. How's that for quality poker? If you play this way, how do you ever hope to win at POKER? Try chess instead

    Not to disagree with you Brad, it's just I think online poker has its own quirks and you must work them out if you expect to become/remain profitable. It's like racing on a bike through a forest. A completely different game from racing on the perfectly paved roads of Gira de Italia.

    I realize most people probably 'whine' just because they can, and it's a free forum so say what you will. But it can get a little amusing at times.

    Because whining is pointless.

    Do whatever it takes to win. If you can't win, don't play. If you can't lose (it's a free roll), play and SHUT UP.

    It's pretty entertaining, it's not AS bad in the turbo 40 person tournaments (still laughable) but they do the same thing in the slower blind/higher stack tournaments as well. That's why I prefer slower blind tournaments, can actually play poker instead of needing to catch a hand.

    There are worse plays than pushing with AA, like pushing with 7,2 off for example. To push/raise, or slow play, depends on multiple factors. Mainly my position during the hand & opponents playing style, not how long a tourney has been running.

    That's a different story. That's gambling. Sometimes it's justified and mostly it's not.

    But this poster is known for his tight ass play, which at a real poker table would probably get him even worse results than pushing with junk. Against decent opposition, anyway.

    And after he basically said 'I can't seem to win nearly enough as I should because I am an SBR PRO which puts me at a disadvantage against lucky non-PROs', I just couldn't help myself. Wake up man, RNG is indifferent. Get some moves, use your fukken imagination. Look up 'bluff' in wikipedia. Watch some poker videos. This game can be fun, even if you don't win. You DON'T need to have Queens or better every time you put chips into the pot.

    Grivas now this really hurts. Its not a secret that I pretty much play only QQ or above but what really hurts worse is that even with everyone knowing it people are still shoving back with 46o, j9, q7, 28 etc etc I get no respect

    You're better off not trying to have poker discussions with bobbo; he's barely able to play cards let alone poker, and has shown an inability to grasp that there are times where shoving with hands like 72o is the only intelligent option. Take it form someone who spent a good part of the last couple years trying to make him understand he's wrong: he's simply not capable of accepting any facts that disprove his opinions...to his detriment at a poker table, and the reason why he avoids sitting at cash tables and hemorrhaging chips with terrible play

    Oh, and in case you didn't know: now that I've shared this tidbit with you, he's going to chime in about how he once won a bet vs me, and that despite losing several before that and many since, it somehow invalidates the simple facts I've stated. I'm a tad too busy at the moment to make fun of his idiocy, but you, donk, astro or anyone is welcome to do so in my place

    Gee, I'm not on a leaderboard after 1 month into the year...wonder if that's because (as you imply) I'm terrible at poker, or (as any sane person would conclude) because I've played less than a third of the tournaments this year?? And what was your line from last year again? Something about "it only matters who's ahead at the end of the year" or something? Let's check in with Donk to see how that worked out for ya:

    Well look at that: last year, despite having no particular reason to try and playing about 40 less tournaments than you, I beat you by an even bigger margin than you constantly yap about for 2014. Kinda shoots holes in every attempt you've made to rationalize and cling to your belief that you're somehow a decent poker player, doesn't it?

    Aside from being busy, this is a big part of why I don't like to pick on you as much as I used to: when it comes to people making you look stupid, I'm a distant second behind you Feel free to prove me right yet again and show off some of that short-bus wit by selectively quoting me or repeating yourself in the hopes someone, anyone will believe ya; spoiler alert, it ain't workin

    Guess I'm the one you're speaking of. Was planning on going Pro but changed my mind. Too much crying and whining and fighting here. People never complain when they're the ones hitting the flop or turn or river. They only complain when they get the bad beat. I've played poker a long time here in NYC, in a lot of under ground games, I've had my share of bad beats and I've had my share of suck outs, but I never complain. Its Poker, shit happens. I've never posted anything negative about anyone on this site. I've never complained about a bad beat. I get beat I say good luck fellas and I wait for the next tourney. Right now I'm 7th or 8th in the standings. I'll make it easy for you, I will not play another game of Poker here. I will stick with the horse forum.

    As always, good luck to you all.

    So you're failing to utilize your points to their potential because people complain about bad beats? You claim to have played poker a long time in NYC, if this is the case then people complaining about bad beats shouldn't bother you as there are always people who complain about them in live poker.

    Sanity on the poker forum is easier to maintain with browser substitution plugins; install one, set it to replace "rigged" with more suitable text, so something like "omgz online poker is rigged" becomes "omgz online poker is a skill based game beyond my comprehension, so like numerous others before me, I choose to believe it's a giant conspiracy instead of believing that I'm simply not as aware as I believe". Set up about a half dozen of these substitutions, and it makes the forum a lot more entertaining

    Had A8 vs T8 for the win today against Rudy. River was not kind. Needed it badly because I can't play everyday. If USA wasn't tearing it up so bad it wouldn't be a big deal

I've played poker a long time here in NYC, in a lot of under ground games, I've had my share of bad beats and I've had my share of suck outs, but I never complain. Its Poker, shit happens. I've never posted anything negative about anyone on this site. I've never complained about a bad beat. I get beat I say good luck fellas and I wait for the next tourney. Right now I'm 7th or 8th in the standings. I'll make it easy for you, I will not play another game of Poker here. I will stick with the horse forum.

    As always, good luck to you all.
    A guy with three 600pts badges and luckier than a leprechaun on st' patricks day is going to stop playing free poker tournaments?

    Please

    I can teach you how to qualify for team Canada. However, your 14 pts won't cover my fee. You may want to solicit a loan & get back to me.
