This guy may come off as a dick to some of you, i personally don't think he is. But he has a lot to say about NL and I can come away w/something i may hav missed in a hand. He's pretty sharp about this shit and there's some good thought processes there.
For u guys willing to put up your hands and take the criticism for it, good for you. It's a lot easier to put up a winning hand where you outflop somebody and don't have to make decisions. But u only get better when you're being creative and aggressive and find yourself in murky waters trying to find your way through something new. Don't let nutpeddlers dictate what you're trying to accomplish.

I agree COMPLETELY that he has some good points and good tips on how to play. I think he can come up with a better way to say it sometimes though.
Posted Fri Aug 12, 2005 10:01 am GMT by Dave B
I dont have any problem with him either. I wish he was a little more "tactful" at times with his words.
However, I also feel that it is dangerous to argue the merits of one hand and endorse it as solid play when you are playing games(5/10 NL 20/50 NL) that are considerably different that what all but a handful of players encounter.
Additionally, I wish he would provide more rational for he agruments. For example, I indicated I dont like J6 suited because if you play junk, you want to get PAID when you hit. There is hardly a flop that can come where I am confident that I have the winner. I put up my Q9 hand as an example of playing junk where if I hit, I can confidently push hard and not fear that the other player has one of 5-6 hands that will win.
He didnt give any strong justification for playing J6. I would have loved some history or trends. Do you win 3/4 of the time calling an all in w/ top 2? Are you willing to risk a lot of chips (40 BB), expecting that you will get them back fairly easily?
Maybe I play NL WAY too scared, but I prefer to be patient, stack chips, make big laydowns. He commented that I would get run over, yes, until I have a big hand and double up. -1%, -3%, -5% -3%, -2%, -5%, +100% is decent winning. I got run over 6 times and am up 80%. Maybe if I had called the RIGHT 4/7, I would have been up 300%, who knows. I know if I am wrong once, it is rebuy time.
Sorry to rant, but I think is that if he offered more substance or examples instead of being purely confrontational, his comments would be better received.

I agree. It seems like half the posts he is involved in end like this:
Forum regular: rational agrument about the hand that does not agree with what 1988 said
1988: When you've played as much poker and read as many books as me you know the right answer everytime. You're a newb. I play 5/10 NL against pros. You would get run over in my game. Do you want to play me headsup?
We all gain from each others' opinions and the debates on here. But it's only really helpful if there is a rational agrument attached to the opinion. The agrument: I play higher stakes than you doesn't do it for me. In fact, that's about as non-sensical an agrument as there is. How can a guy who doesn't waste his time with .5/1 on party have a better understanding of that game than those who play it regularly?

Let's be fair. It's only in the last couple days that his posts have "reverted". He started off obnoxious and then became a solid contributor. He had toned down and had several good points to offer.
I value his contribution to the board and wish to see it continue. Personal attacks are unnecessary, however ... unless I'm launching them.

Here is the thing though. When have I ever tried to talk about .50/1.00??
I generally am only in the advanced analysis section commenting on No Limit games.
That is why I get offended when a low limit, fixed limit player makes comments like "You played that hand horrible" or "What a train wreck".

This is a public forum and you are going to get comments from people who play 10/20NL down to .02/.04NL. You seem to think you are far superior than everyone else so why can't you simply ignore their posts?
Do you realize that not everyone who plays low limits has much of a choice? I play low stakes because I don't have a bankroll to support playing NL1000. I start out with a small deposit since I have more important things to do with my money than play poker. I'll work my bankroll up to a certain level, then cashout because I could use the money. Sure if I had an extra $5k and nothing to spend it on I would play higher stakes. But since that isn't the case I don't have many options.
You have some excellent input into this forum which myself and I'm sure most other people appreciate it. It would be great if you could lose the high roller attitude towards everyone else and simply ignore comments from people who you don't deem worthy.

Not sure why it was necessary to start a post to find out everyone's opinions on someone, but ok, I'll bite.
I like TRs comments because he breaks up the monotony of this site. Sure, sometimes he pushes peoples' buttons but we all get tired of kids and/or broke people posting "OH MY GOD!! CAN YOU BELIEVE HE CALLED THIS?? WHAT A BAD BEAT!! I JUST LOST A WHOLE $5 !!!". Sometimes you've just got to tell these fools 'what did you expect to find at those limits?'
I'm glad TR brings the high-roller experience to this site. I like hearing from someone who is actually playing poker the way the game was designed: for stakes! If there's nothing of value at risk, you may as well play bingo.
Skribbles, to your point, there's nothing wrong if you enjoy playing low-limit poker and you don't need to justify it. Just don't come to the site bitching about "bad beats" and saying you can't believe how bad the players are at the 10/20 cent tables. I'm not saying you do this, I don't have the time or the interest to read over your post history, but this is what annoys people like TR who play at higher limits.
Posted Fri Aug 12, 2005 1:34 pm GMT by Soup_dog
Just because someone doesnt have the bankroll to play high limits... like me, does that mean I am not allowed to "try" and use advanced plays? Heck, I know I'm not a great player, but I am going to at least try some of these plays. I'm still learning.
And to be honest TR 1988, I have started playing more aggressively based on some of the hand analysis you have provided and they seem to be working. I have made calls against players I would not have made before and, to my shock, discovered that they are holding garbage.
Low limits doesn't necessarily mean "poor player" (even though this is often true), it just may mean "poor bankroll". But I'm working on it!

No - Not at all. I think you should definitely be in the advanced section learning as much as you can, asking questions, etc.
What rubbed me the wrong way was :
"Good grief! It's a train wreck!"
Now my friend started that post & I felt his play was correct.
People are getting too hung up on the starting hand in my opinion..... I like to look at what happenned after the flop, which I think the correct play was to call or re-raise the all in.
Posted Fri Aug 12, 2005 1:49 pm GMT by Soup_dog
Your right. I shouldn't have phrased it that way. And I apologize. Of course he did get in the "pussy" comment, but that was after the fact. After reading all the comments and analysis I do agree with the preflop call.
I even understand the post flop call now that the comments about pocket aces and such have been made. Good point. I still don't think I would have been willing to make that big a call with that small of a pot, but I understand you reasoning now.
Cheers!

This is how people work. I've honestly been shocked that more people on this board haven't called me a moron, but that's probably because I don't really post all that many specific hands on here anymore. I assure you that the majority of nutpeddling monkeybashers would start projectile vomitting after seeing some of the hands I regularly play.

In the main tho i personally try not to comment on specific poker hands, there is very rarely a right or wrong answer. If you play something one way there will be an outcome, if you play it another way, there will probably be another outcome. Altho, not always 
Is this even relevant? I dunno, i just read thru this whole pointless thread so i felt i should add something

lol, uh, ok :D
I agree with the point that there is no right or wrong - Simply because everyone will always have their own opinion on what they think the others payers will have.
For example - I might read an all in by a short stack on the flop as a desperation attempt or an attempt to slow play AA into a big hand.
Others might read the all in as a big hand that is not to be messed with.
Only individual players experience, logical thinking, and gamble within can guide their decision making process.

First off I don't enjoy playing low stakes. I do it because I do not have the bankroll for higher.
Second, this forum is for people who play poker. It is not limited to higher rollers. The limits I play at may be nothing to yourself or 1988, but compared to some players who are starting out they are high enough.
And finally, if peoples posts about "bad beats" annoy you or TR, DON'T READ THEM! It would save your precious time and you wouldn't have to go around insulting people about there stakes.

Hey, I enjoy a good bad beat story as much as the next guy! :D
Posted Fri Aug 12, 2005 3:37 pm GMT by screwthepooch
and I am the "next guy".
Contrary to the attempt by the "moderator" to become Dick Tracy, I'm my own person...and no matter how much I fancy 1988 TR, we have yet to become one...YET...
LOL.
I don't mind a good bad beat story either as long as it really is a bad beat. I think sometimes people consider someone hitting a flush to their trips or str8 a bad beat even when the opponent flops 2 of their suit with over-cards.
I should probably start a different thread for this, but here goes:
I love to play Multi-table tourney's, but seem to get into trouble with top pair top kicker every time! I'm almost getting to the point where I feel like I should check and fold these damn hands. Is it just me, or is this the big killer in a tourney? I'd say 9 out of 10 times when I lose a tourney it's because I have flopped top pair and someone has pocket overpair and I just can't let it go. I probably need to seriously tighten up my preflop starting hands and start being more cautious in this situation. I might be suffering from the switch between the type of play warranted at my short-handed no limit table compared with a 10-person table in a MTT. I don't know, but something has to change or I'll never get my WSOP bracelet. LOL.
(I should clarify that I'm mostly referring to when I lose early in a tourney. I do play better when the blinds go up...which is probably how I should play the whole way.)

I feel everyone has good input in this forum and we each have our own way we would play a hand or not play. We each play our own games and limits for our own reasons. TR does come off strong, but sometimes it takes some pretty tough talk to get through to some people. Like him or not, just like anyone else in this forum, he does offer some good advice. He can choose to ignore posts that he might snap on just as we can choose to ginore posts where he does snap on someone. So lets all play nicely together and reap the benefits of learning from many talented card players after all poker is what brings us all here.

A couple excellent statements here, both pointing to the same conclusion (in my mind). Each table you're at is a different environment. The same play at one table with the same hand is going to yield different results at a different table. Therefore, you'll play these differently, depending on several factors which generally aren't revealed in posts ... the biggest factor being the players.
We (the readers) don't have the insight that the person who posted has into the mindset of their opponents. As a result, what on the surface appears to be a bonehead move may, in fact, be the PERFECT play for the game in which they are sitting.
J6s? I've reconsidered ... limping on the button, ok.

I think you are totally right there - J6s on the button.... For me there is no clear cut answers - Like everything else in poker, it just depends. Sometimes I may call, sometimes I can't ditch it fast enough. Depends on chip stacks, opponents, what my table image is, all sorts of random thing that is purely dictated by the moment. I don't have any pre set rules. I might even play 23 out of position. It just depends!

For someone who is complaining about the negativity and the heat of the board, do you realize that you contributed the most heated thing on it? You are accusing my friend and I of being one person who I guess has a multiple personality disorder. Instead of moderating, you threw that accusation into the mix to stir up trouble.
And, between you and "Fat Tony", I have to say that you both seem to suffer from the need to throw your weight around as if we can't moderate ourselves.

We have already been moderating ourselves and the later posts clearly show that we are all finding middle ground. I've seen boards that get out of control and have foul language, threats and just utter nonsense, and this is very far from that. I think we all know what we're trying to do and that is to get better at playing poker.

screwthepooch, in what way are you going to benefit by prolonging this debate? In fact, let me rephrase that, in what way are you going to benefit from making personal attacks on 2 of the global moderators of this forum?
And that is in itself the pertinent point here, this IS, whether you like it or not, a MODERATED forum.
Might i suggest you have a long hard think about whether you wish to post on such a forum? If you find that you do, then i suggest you modify your manner. If not, then feel free to leave at any time.
This is of course likely to become a moot point however, because if i was either Geno or Tony, i would indeed remove you from this board.
Please also have a think before you decide to respond to my post in anything like the manner of your post above, a personal attack on me.......... WILL lead to a ban.

No two computers can have the same IP address.
But... if two computers are on the same network, behind the same router, their IP address will show up as the same.
So as the Moderator was pointing out, either the posts were coming from the same computer or from two computers behind the same router, which would mean the computers were in close proximity (sp?) to each other.

No two computers can have the same IP address.
But... if two computers are on the same network, behind the same router, their IP address will show up as the same.
So as the Moderator was pointing out, either the posts were coming from the same computer or from two computers behind the same router, which would mean the computers were in close proximity (sp?) to each other. |
IE two people who work for the same company and post here from work on occassion. Hardly far fetched, I know plenty of people at my office who are into poker and have browsed the forum.
To be honest this thread is a load of bollocks.
I don't see the point of all this drama and personal attacks on a poker forum !!! The guy makes helpful posts and takes the time to help n00bs like me out via PM, if the admin have a problem with a few of the posts he makes then they should let him know via PM. This is the wrong way of going about things, does nobody any good, should be locked up IMO.
Cheers.

contrary to what some might think, i don't like to ban people unless absolutely necessary. these two have been given ample opportunity to let this go, but noooo, one more comment always has to be made by one, if not both of them. take your drama to livejournal because i'm not dealing with it any more. the choice is very simple: treat the people of this form with respect or be prepared to face the consequences.
