Things I Hate About Internet Poker


Recommended Posts

1. Min raises2. Min buyins3. Not being able to see my opponent (obv)4. To many nits, even at the micro limits, but I have figured out one foolproof tell , if you are getting action you are beat.5. People don't play the same because it is so much easier to click on call and you don't have to worry about looking like a douche cause it is all anonymous.6. I can't win , at least not consistently enough to make it worth my time. 7. I still can't logout.

1. If I sat home all day playing on the computer I'd feel like Java the Hut but with no power/girls.2. No physical tells.3. My mouse is currently tilting the shit out of me.4. I'm going to say my mouse again because it's really bothering me.

Have you been following me or something? I am pretty sure that is like one of the first rules though, not bluffing bad players?

Why cause I got it all in against against a 6 outer on the turn and he sucked out on me? I thought I played that hand pretty well, I was around a 9 to 1 favorite on the turn when the money went in the middle. I would have had him outchipped about 7 to 1 if that hand would have held , almost assuring victory. I have only lived off playing cards for 2 years , you should think before you post cause it didn't make sense. You thought you found an opening to run your stupid ass mouth and instead make yourself look like a bitch. Don't ever mention my kid to me , she always has and always will be taken care of. What would be so wrong with her paying for her own education? I had to and still am paying for mine, my mommy and daddy didnt pay my way.

How do you have Gallo's HH then? You kinda made it seem like you were the one who had the 22 and sucked out.

It looks like the hand history is from the perspective of the player with 22. I'm sure that's causing the problem here.Edit:This feels like a level. Gallo is a veteran poster.

You guys know I am not gallo , I just copy pasted the history from the Neg open thread where he posted it. I would never make that shove, not the way the action went on the hand. I was practically screaming I HAVE AK !!!!! I actually went on a tear an hour or so after the tourney , once I let my head clear from that disgusting beat. Played a couple tables of .25/.50 plo and ran a 20 dollar buyin up to like 288 on one and like 190 on the other in a couple hours. Kind of took the sting out of the tourney. I mean it was cool to get 2nd but I would have rather at least gotten cracked on a decent hand, not some ridiculously stupid shit like that but w/e , I just really wanted the win , I guess he had something more important to do.
