Thanks Kenny, you actually read the damn thread and understood that it was a very, very simple question.I never, ever at anytime said or implied whether or not his or for that matter my play was correct or not. Amazing how many people chimed in with my play was bad, his was bad, his was good, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada!The question was never about the play!Simply the difference in perception between who plays the hand.

I actually do have a vagina. Have had everyday for the last 34 years and I can honestly say that of all the suggestions in this thread, this might be the only one I'd ever consider. :wink: If you guys had a vagina, you'd spend all day on your back with a mirror in your hand looking at it.So true, not that there's anything wrong with that!

If I had a Vagina for a day I wouldn't be wasting my one day with it posting here!

Majorleag, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.DNA and Ron, I would have been truly and deeply disappointed if I had not received such an insightful response as you have given here.Keep up the good work, and don't go changing!A voice of reason and sanity in this otherwise chaotic world.

Since Ron and DNA gave you the serious response, I will chime in with the humorous response.Practice and time. I started playing about 18 months ago and was THE worst.Before all the expected flaming begins I am NOT claiming to be great, good or any other such thing.I am ONLY sure that I am a better player than I was, that is all.I now have become pretty good at looking at the board and figuring out within a couple of possible hands what the other person has both online and in a B&M casino.Most of the time the clues are right there in front of you and that will come after playing many, man

Huh? Folks, I was not questioning or editorializing one way or the other regarding his play.I have and would do it too if I thought that I could come over the top and take the pot right there uncontested, if I felt that this was a player that I could either bully or that respected my play enough to laydown.The point was simply that if I make the very same play and everyone folds nobody knows but if a hand that might/should be better calls me and everyone sees this play, then regardless of the outcome I get verbally thrashed. If I lose then I am a stupid donkey who deserves to lose for overpl

LOL, again I was not questioning his play.What is your sn on PS. Yes I have nothing to hide that is in fact my SN and I am glad and hope that you do have me on your donk list. I make some very questionable/bad moves still from time to time.I want you to think that I am the worst player on earth.I also have 2 kids a busy life and play multiple tables and sometimes get a little distracted and make goofy plays. Yes, I know if that's the case maybe I should play less tables, etc. etc.I still have a long, long ways to go in improvement but I am enjoying the ride and am lasting, longer and longer

Exactly. I call ActionJeff my nemesis for this reason. I was playing with him again in a $100 +9.00 rebuy and I had him on my right and I kept catching good hands and going over the top on him.I did this like 3 times then I wake up to Pocket Queens and he raises, so I go all in. He had Jacks and he went completely Ape Shit. Cussing me out and saying he hopes my family dies in a fire.Very classy guy. I have no problem with people calling me a donkey, fish whatever, I couldn't care less, but to actually wish that my family dies in a fire is going waaaaay overboard.Even if I had pushed all i

This is why I hate rebuys........I doubt if it was a real freezeout that he wouldn't have done this; but yet again, I don't know what his playing style is like. Absolutely - but you played the hand perfectly. He just got lucky......the fact a pro had to get lucky to beat you should, in the least, be of some consolation. You ask anyone who has ever made money in poker, I am sure they can recount with great recall the various times they got their money in with AQ vs AK only to see the Q come on the turn (like what happened to me a few weeks ago in a tournament).Whenever this type of stuff h

That is NOT what I asked. As I said in my original post I am NOT questioning his play at all.I just know that I have made similar plays for the very same reasons that you mention here and I have been attacked and called fish, donkey and just about everything under the sun.My question is a very simple one and has NOTHING to do with whether or not his play was good or bad.It is this, is there a double standard at work here? If I play that very same hand in the very same way, I would be called a donkey and fish etc., but he being a pro plays it and nobody says anything!Double standard because h

LOL Ron. We will get along just fine in this bullshit, crazy disfunctional, would make the Simpsons look functional family we all affectionately call Fullcontactpoker!

I am curious how many of you think that there is a double standard between the same hand being played by an amateur versus a "pro" poker player?I started playing about 18 months ago and I will be the first to admit that I was a horrible player, playing all kinds of crap. It was sooooooted, etc. etc.Now I have learned how to play the game reasonably well and while I will from time to time play speculative/crap hands for various reasons, position, disguise my play etc. etc. I have learned NOT to just donk off all my chips with such a hand pre-flop etc.I was playing on Saturday in a $100 +9.00

You talking about AJ and KJ, or did you mean J6 and J2, or was it 66 and 22? I'm confused which 2 hands are the only ones he could have.Ellis covered it, I missed one another hand that beats me. I just enjoyed the hand because it put me in contention.

Well maybe I wasn't quite that bad, although I probably was. We all have to learn sometime, sometime.I started playing about 18 months ago is what I meant.

Ahhh I expected as much from smashee boy! I love a guy who manages to make over 7,000 posts in less than one year!!That is truly a spectacular achievement to be proud off!!!Go smashee go!!!!!

This used to be me 1.5 years ago. Good for a laugh. Check out the hand history on the turn especially. I am thinking there are only 2 hands he could possibly have right now that beat me. If I am wrong I am out of the tourney but no way does he have one of those two.PokerStars Game #2376570202: Tournament #11248450, Hold'em No Limit - Level VI (100/200) - 2005/08/19 - 19:59:09 (ET)Table '11248450 46' Seat #4 is the buttonSeat 1: majorleag (11860 in chips) Seat 2: mojo118 (11070 in chips) is sitting outSeat 3: jjjjjjez (5875 in chips) Seat 4: bh54 (8075 in chips) Seat 5: MagicManAA (14060 in

The exact calculation as to how they arrive on the points is available on their site but you definitely do NOT get points just for entering. I am too lazy right now to go check but if memory serves me it is the top 15% that get points.If you are 546 for the year you must have quite a few points, nice job. What is your SN on PS?

Wow my sincerest thoughts and prayers. I beat Cancer about 17 years ago so I understand what you and her are going through.I wish you the best. Hang in there!

DNA been there done that! Not the getting drunk and donking off money, even worse I just do it Sober!!!Shake it off. Glad that it didn't end up as a complete train wreck. I have spent a small fortune learning this game and have been much, much more stupid than that. I love the game and am finally turning the corner and winning but I still do dumb things.You are not alone.Keep it at and don't let bad days at work, home etc. affect your play. Don't play if things aren't right elsewhere.I am like you married with 2 great kids and a wife that should have dumped my sorry ass a long time ago.I

ROFLMAO!

You have to play a ton of tourney's to move up and need to come in the top 15% I believe it is to make any points. I figure I don't stand much of a chance to make a real showing until next year, and plan to try and get in a decent position next year.I am currently in 3,159 place for the year with 3,207.52 points. To put this in perspective first place has 19,428.74 points.Hope that helps!

It can only lead to your getting in trouble and losing in the end. I was at a table not long ago on PS and had built up a rapport with a guy that I had never met before. Anyway we are chatting back and forth and a new guy sits down, and the guy I had been chatting, who was making hand after hand against me checks a fh on the river to the new guy, which is a great move if you think you can get someone to call. New guy calls and I fold as I had nothing and had been losing to this guy for hours. Well the new guy goes nuts and accuses us of cheating and says he will report us. Well before I st

i think they mean the fact that he posted the guy's e-mail address.Speaking of cruelty to assholes, anyone ever go whoop Trebor's ass? lol. u can type ASS.. its cool I got my mouth washed out a lot with soap as a kid, this is how I rebel... censored SHIT COCK.... sorry I meant too and was typing to fast and left it off. After Don commented and quoted me I saw the error of my ways and have since corrrected it.But thanks for pointing it out anyway.
