Entertaining people and genererating and obscene amount of traffic. Yeah, I think it is actually. The people who appreciate it just keep quite for the most part, as they are smart enough not to get involved with the people whom you mention next... God, I couldn't have said that better myself! Thanks, yeah... I've noticed. Interesting, isn't it?Ryan

I appreciate the apology.With all due respect:I am fully aware of the purpose of this forum. To my understanding this is a "General Poker Forum". I believe that I am well within my bounds to post this story here as it is appears that lots of people are entertained and are forwarding this(and the other) story onto their friends who are not even members here. Yesterday nearly 700 people read my post and only a handful posted negative reactions, as I believe those people to be either 13 years old, or incredibly dense. I do not feel the need to give a "warning" that my stories may be exxagerated.

Nope, dead serious.I'll try to clarify:When he called the raise pre-flop, it SHOULD mean that he has AA, KK, maybe QQ or AK. I didn't think that's what he had, as my prior post goes on to explain...That help?Ryan

I agree that it appears no one here has ever played a 1/2 live game. In NYC 1/2, there is no pre-flop raise less than $15. Maybe OCCASIONALLY someone will raise to $12, but it is almost always $15-$25. Period. So any argument based of other figures or standards is moot. Don't bother.Also:I think this whole thing has been taken completely out of it's intended context.This was meant solely to entertain. Lots of details about this occurance have been changed to make a better story. I did not fully explain my thought process, as it would take away from the story. And that's what the post was about

I think this whole thing has been taken completely out of it's intended context.This was meant solely to entertain. Lots of details about this occurance have been changed to make a better story. I did not fully explain my thought process, as it would take away from the story. And that's what the post was about, it's a story meant to entertain. For instance:This did not happen in the first two hands against players I don't know. This happened in about 12 hands over 25 minutes. Not much better, but still. The nature of play in most any NYC underground card room is basically the same. You know w

Ok, whatever. You can't be taken seriously. Stick to your play, I'll stick to mine.In the future, if I disagree with your play, I will discuss it repectfully with you; an opprotunity you have not afforded me the slightest. Best regards, fool.Ryan

Exactly. Crap happens.Ryan

Thank you, I thought so too.Ryan

... or something like it, yes.Ryan

Yeah, ok.This is meant to entertain, not to provide you with a basis to make yourself feel like a big man.Guess what, I still stand behind my play w/ the Jacks. The fact that you don't understand why it's a good play 4 out 5 times, tells me a lot about your abilities. Think before you speak to people much more knowledgable than yourself. You'll be less likely to look foolish in retrospect. Read this sentence again.Ryan

This is not a story about bad beats. I believe it is in the right place.Ryan

It is clear that you don't know what you're talking about.Ryan

Ok, fair enough. Sorry for questioning you.I got attacked by a guy with a golfclub on the streets of Queens once, and I called the cops. They treated me the exact same way you were treated, it doesn't feel good. I'm trying to tell them that this guy attacked me with a goddamn golf club and they acted like I was wasting thier time. Unbelievable.I get over a third of my paycheck taken away ever week to pay for those retards families to eat. The least they could do is take me seriously, ya know? I was scared half to death and still get jumpy sometimes because of what happened. So, anyway. Sorry f
