If you want to play more skilled players and less gamblers go play in the high stakes cash and high stakes MTTs, the skill:gambler ratio will be much closer than it is on smallest stakes.
or go for some HU against a pro I'm sure they will accept you HU any day and you can play against a poker player with skill
That's why I play here! I don't want to play against better players, give me the gamblers any day. If they hit, they hit. I will take them in the long term
so on saturday I had a hand in a timed tournament where I had pocket QQ in the BB I had 4000 chips when the blinds were 200/400 I noticed my table was full of fish this time and I saw two limps before it got to me the two players were about the same stack as me.
Normally in this spot with 10BB I would just be looking to get it in. However I knew these guys could be fishy enough to call of most of 30% of their stack with garbage but not stupid enough to call of their entire stack with garbage and I knew they had garbage. I raised to 1200 got one call the flop came 752 with two spades i did not have a spade I jammed on the flop since I had a pot sized bet left the guy called of his entire stack with J9 off suit.
As fishy as my play in this spot may have sounded I got the guy to put it in with J9 because I knew he was bad enough. Now the turn produced a 9 and no prices for guessing the river It was not a J or a 9 didn't expect that did you? you were expecting a bad beat story but no I was happy and laughing at that one. I had got all the chips in as a 95% favourite and enjoyed winning the pot.
However guess what 1 time in 20 the guy will get lucky he will hit that Absurd runner runner. I can go ballistic when this happens However where do you think most of my profit comes from online, okay most players are not quite that bad but these mistakes all add up to my profit so why complain when they get lucky? I understand if its a series of bad beats in a row or a very significant tournament hand near the end but generally just let it go its where the money comes from.
Why is there always a direct correlation between someone's anger over bad beats and their inability to spell or use punctuation ?
normally because they are angry so brain function reduces temporarily due to the rage. However with myself it is simply because my spelling and punctuation suck to begin with. I truly reckon I would lose a spelling bee vs 6 year olds and my punctuation is probably worse then an average student in middle school.
I dont consider myself stupid but the written language is clearly not a place for me to attempt to disprove that assertion.
my post was not a bad beat story though, but can see how it could be misread due to the poor English.
