I notice a recurring theme...on almost all of these tables, you're the short stack. How did you get that way? Bad beats?
The only way you're going to get better is to stop blaming all your losses on bad luck, and perhaps consider that you're overplaying marginal hands. Ignore the hands that these people turned over, and instead, count the number of hands they *could* have that had you crushed when you stuck all your money in the middle.
You are your own worst enemy, and until you realize that, nothing is going to change.

i dont buy in for the max cuz then i play very loosely and not very smart
i dont think there really is such a thing as "overplaying marginal hands" at these stakes...im sure youve played them and im sure you know people will call down the ace high if they have it. regardless, each hand i was a favorite to win and i lost.

As opposed to the way you play now? Now that must be a sight to see.
Posted Sat Jul 23, 2005 7:05 pm GMT by greathuskie
im a loose player, i see more flops then most people on this site because well the general theme around here is to wait around for a big hand and fold everything else. i dont do that.
theres nothing wrong with playing loose, and as you can see in these hands i should have been paid off several times by doing it but wasnt.

You're not allowed to quote yourself you cocky bastard.

Must admit, maybe im too conservative but im not sure I would have played any of those hands, well let me elaborate. I would have folded the first pre-flop, I might have raised with the Q4 to try and steal the BB but not a call and I might have paid to see the flop with 44 but when I didnt hit and there were overcards on the board I think I would have had my warning lights flashing. Thats just me though and I know at times I am far to tight with my cards, and there certainly was a big element of bad luck, particularly hitting the two pair with the Q4 and loosing with the turn and the river, that sucks.
For me playing tight isnt about what most people say, or anything like that, I just watched a lot of poker before I started playing and I noticed that come the business end of any tournament, the tight players tended to be there and the loose players tended not to me. But I think everyone has to find there own style.

How many times do we have to tell you? Save your money until you can play real poker! If you're going to continue to play lotto-poker at micro-limits then you're going to be posting "bad beats" here for a long time to come. Get a job and save your money until you can play real poker.

Your replies are getting pretty old. Why don't you stop critisizing people for the stakes they play.

Yeah, you've been a member for how long, a month? And you think that's long enough to decide when posts "get old" ?? Stick around a little longer and see how "old" the bad-beat posts get to you. Look over Greathuskie's catalog of work on this site and you will see enough bad-beat rants and complaints about low-limit online poker that you too will probably tell him the same thing. I think he's "quit" poker at least twice or maybe three times only to come back and complain some more.
And by the way, I don't know what the word "critisizing" means. Critical of someone's size or proportions, perhaps? If so, that's ridiculous because I have no way of knowing how big or small a poster is, nor would I care. Also, if your second sentence is supposed to be a question then you should put a question mark at the end of it.

Scott, your rants are getting pretty tiresome at this point. Every post from you is a broken record, and I can't remember the last time you actually contributed something other than "quit whining because you play for peanuts."
Now quit whining about other people's whining.

So who is all telling him to save his money and play real poker?
As far as I can see you're the only person on this board who likes to "CRITICIZE" people for playing low stakes. This portion of the forum is for people to post bad beats to vent. If you don't like it, then don't read it.

the stakes people are playing doesn't really matter. i often play .05/.10 NL just for something to do even thou i can easily afford to play much, much higher stakes. yes, you will see stupidity more often at the lower levels, but you will still see it fairly often at high stakes tables too because there are lots of people playing with more money than brains. all that playing at higher $$$ tables proves is that you have more money. it does not in any way mean that you are a better player.
edit: in case i wasn't clear.....if all you have to contribute is "play higher stakes or you are teh suck LOLZ" then don't bother.
edit 2: greathuskie you are overplaying marginal hands.

Okay - I'm going to split the vote on this one.
1 - I agree that people should not be criticized for the limits they play. This is quite childish and a good higher limit player should encourage, not diss, his colleagues playing at a lower level.
2 - I find it laughable to see post after post on bad beats from a player who seems to be a typical LAG, given what I've read.
So, having pissed two people off, my advice:
Scott - grow up
greathuskie - tighten up

ROFLMAO - But I agree with both statements completely.
I play lower limits because I have a wife and 3 kids and cant afford to jump start my bankroll. I need to build it up by playing the low limits. That being said, my betting is based on BB & Pot size. Not dollar amounts. So the limits don't matter to me. I try to play the same quality game, no matter the limit. (Of course, my quality is poor quality... but thats neither here nor there.)
