In Response to Re: STANDARD OF PLAY GONE UP....YEAH RIGHT!!!! : Correct me if im wrong on this,but how can a player adjust his/her game to combat bad beats,or the player who dosent care wether they win or loose or the chancers,u would be a miricle worker if you could do this and win more games than loose.Now come on.

by weighing up your hand/ chips and dont be afraid to take a gamble when maybe you wouldnt. im not saying go gun ho on everyhand but if you have the chances then go for it. im not defending these so called donks im just trying to say that if thats there style of play then so what? theres to many players that think they are better than they are ( this is not aimed at any1 in particular) that believess their certain method is the way poker should be played and then call players that dont play that way! Weather people like it or not this type of play will continue and in my opinion makes the game better. there is not much more exciting in this game when watching 2 people call in on good or bad cardsthen watching the draw.
In Response to Re: STANDARD OF PLAY GONE UP....YEAH RIGHT!!!! : good post! of course i like to increase my bankroll but i could try this many other ways betting slips bandits etc. i choose to play poker becuase of the enjoyment levels. im not saying you can always beat bad plays but you can be patient and go when you have a good hand. when you have the oppurtunity for a good hand like flush, straight full house then weigh up your chips etc and take the gamble. a good example last night i was in last 3 of b/h tourny. chip leader had 70.000 _ chips me and the other player had around 20.000. the chip leader was bullying us everyhand and the other guy got it in his head that the chip leader had won the pot! i told him to play patient in the end i doubled up and reduced chip leader. so i managed to combat is bullying by calling when i had not the best but descent cards. granted it could have gone either way but how else could i have played? alot of ppl ive played with only think about the hand theyve got, but wot about the hand they could have if they saw the draw?

Fallen had the nut flush after the fop. She went allin when 97% favourite. Her OP hit the turn and river to beat her. What exactly should she have done differently?
And went allin after the flop cos I kne he was a 'chancer' whereas I would of slow played and bet accordingly if it was a more 'solid' player........so yes as a fairly good player I have changed my play 2 adapt 2 the situation.

Nothing thats the beuty of the game!you win some u lose some!im not saying combat on 1 particular hand. but what if the shoe was on the other foot? if fallen had hit the river? the only way you can hit the river is by seeing it. i aint so go 7 2 not suited but if you have 4 7 and the flop 5 6 then take a BIT of a risk and chase the 3 or 8. fact remains that yes these chancers seem like there winning alot of head to heads but this is only because there going in more maybe ppl spend too much time thinking about stats for certain hands. it doesnt matter how much percentage certains hands have NOBODY or any computer can predict what card will be next

Look at it from the opponent's side. The flop looks OK for him - he holds the overpair (the three diamonds are a concern but let's not be too concerned about that at the moment). He sticks a bet in to find out where he is (far too small a bet IMHO, should've been pot size to get rid of the flush draw).
Now he gets jammed al-in (XFALLENX, for what it's worth, I LOVE that move. Screams BLUFF!!!). He then makes a HUUUUUGE mistake and calls. Then he gets massively lucky.
Fallen, keep playing like this. Your luck will change. Don't let it grind you down!!!
Edit: The reason you put yourself through this is because you enjoy the game (maybe not so much at the moment) and you can get someone to make these massive mistakes. Be thankful it wasn't a high stakes cash game, could've cost you thousands.

You'll never win at poker if you throw the dummy out every time u have a bad session (Not the first of these types of thread ive seen u post).
The people who are winning the hands are just normal people like you. If you can't handle losing with the best of it sometimes then it doesn't matter what site or format of poker you play on.

Watch Phil Helmuth throws his dummy out all the time,you saying he can't win at poker?
On the contrary, are you saying that throwing your dummy out and creating tilt threads that very rarely fail to degenerate into a bickering contests is good for your play?
