Posting too many hands, especially when they are beats.

Folks,

I thought it would be useful to post some guidelines on what should and shouldn't be posted in BBV. Here you go:

Brags - when you win a super nice hand, hit a royal, make a soul read, etc. Do it with some explanation of the spot/situation and the hand will be so much more readable.

Beats - this is not when your one pair gets called by a draw and he gets there. That's called poker. We are talking things like running set into set or getting most of your chips over the line a 93.6% favourite in an SPT semi vs Ace high with A-A and still losing (UL Giant).

Variance - if you see some ridiculous run of hands, like getting dealt AA back to back three times etc.

Seriously, this isn't just a section to vent and rant about one pair getting turned over. If you do feel the need to post that kind of hand (and I really, really don't think you should), at least keep them in one thread. 

Thanks,
Dave

    I don't post on the forum anymore. It used to be mainly full of light hearted banter but then it went to woe is me, 'look at the river card', 'look how this idiot played', ' this site is rigged etc.

    Please get a grip people.

    No you won't see as many of these bad beats live - 1) people play differently & 2) the number of hands you play will probably be far fewer than on line.

    The better players on here don't moan about bad beats and they don't play with a different pack of cards. Instead of moaning get a grip, look at your own game and improve it - then this site might get back to the way it used to be and not a moaners forum.

    Personal rant over

    I liked the top tip on sky about bad beats.

    If you are sick of getting your money in good and having some muppet call light and suck out.....

    Get your money in bad, you can only go up from there :-)

    Perhaps then the mods might stop moving such posts from the "poker chat section" or are you asking people to post less altogether?

    There was some fruitcake a while ago who pretty much posted every single hand he lost in here.
    I think it was generally aimed at him

    nice thread and true
    something that I saw in the chat box of one of my cash tables today said a very valid point.
    these so called rigged river cards are infact just one villians bad card but another villians good one.
    plus those that know poker will know that these chasers fish calling stations and maniacs are just the type of villians we all want.

    if these villians started to fold their draws  gutshots weak pairs and over cards. poker would get so boring.

    Sky

    Since setting up this thread has anything been done to stop the constant bad beat drivel we get on here?

    Perhaps a two strikes and you are out policy.

    2 posts about bad beats with no useful content (or insert any common whinge we get on here), 2 warnings then on the third time a weeks chat ban.

    Well suggest an alternative then professor.

    Your always so fast to criticise something, but never actually suggest your viable alternative.

    Fat lot of use you would be in a life or death situation.

    No dont do that!

    What a silly idea

    No, I dont agree with that one

    What a stupid notion

    etc etc

    Don't need an alternative, hence why I didn't suggest one.
