list of fish?

I was thinking maybe we make a list of fish and what sites they play on. Maybe sticky it, put their screen names down,how they play, where they play, and we could just use it to player search them if we want to find a juicy game, thoughts?

nah, bad idea. i dont think we're looking to offend potential new members. doing this privately with a few members would be the only way this would be kosher in nick's eyes i'm sure.

alright, yea never thought of that. O well, if it starts up thats good but if not then o well, figured id give it a shot

never any fish.....lol

you can put me on the list, i don't mind

Me too lol
Just look at my sig to find me.

I prefer to keep the bad players that I find to myself.

Was thinking the same thing..

I'm already on most people's lists, believe me. You can add me to your's though too.

He, catch me on the weekends. I'll make your list surely.

Never want to scare off the fishies.

Would be a good idea if it wasn't for Google

you can catch me on sportbook i am a big fish there

Well, If can guide a fish to a forum. He might become a Shark a very good player. Some players need some guidence and support from other members that way the fish will become a better player and we all will have better games. and not get Beat by the 7 2o suits He will learned to fold. unless he is of those people that dont give a dam. and likes to swin in it. but we were all guppies once. now some of us Have turned into sharks. So instead of calling then names or degrade them lets help them..You will find it a more enjoyable poker experncie.

no way!!!

I want a table full of bad players, why in the heck would you want to sit with good players?

I dont mind getting beat by 7-2 because I know I will beat that player and stack them 10x over. I think of it as he is holding money for me, all you do is search him out and take money from him every chance you get.

there are table I will refuse to sit at because the players are too good, actully sorry guys but there are certain players on this forum I will not ever sit with in a cash game. Why would I want to? it would be silly to sit with you guys when there are much easier players out there.

Maybe that is my problem.. I like to play against good players cause I learned from then. and hopefully it sharpens my skills which I don't Have much of. maybe I should do the opposite.

here is what we will do, learn from people here and take peoples money at tables, sounds good to me.


post some hands in the analysis section and let the players here disect them.


if you ever are worried you played something wrong just post it up.

^^^^ What Storm said.

This is actually what kept me losing last night. There were so many fish at my tables, throwing money away that I didn't want to leave. I didn't berade them when they sucked out time and time again. I simply rebought quietly waiting to stack them and get my money back. Turns out the bad beats kept coming which unfortunately happens sometimes. That's poker, but more often then not the opposite will happen against these players. I want them to continue giving money away.

I knew it wasn't happening last night so added these people to my "friends" list, vented on here, and logged off. I'll get them another time.

What about panfish?

To (probably mis-) quote Lou Krieger "Most of the money you'll make wont come from your own good play, it will come from the bad play of others". I always cringe when i read people here say "I like xxxx site because it's got more good players than xxxx site"

We can't guide all the fish here, if so, then how would we make any money.
As someone once said, "if it wasn't for the bad players there wouldn't be a poker game worth playing".

I thought JD changed his user name!

Thanks Sammy

This happened to me just now, so I targeted the biggest fish and started limping/calling raises with marginal holdings when he was in the hand to see if I could flop something. Also helped that he called my preflop raises of good hands.

My AK with a K on the turn beat his nothing that he called me to the river with, and I flopped a baby straight with an A4o that he min raised preflop. After losing 3 hands to me he left the table.

Then I had to leave 'cause I was in the habit of playing too loose and turning into a calling station myself and donking away chips.



btw, this thread led me to google my username. Interesting how some of my hands show up on other forums in hand histories that other people have posted.

In zero-sum games, it is imperative to have a bunch of bad players.

Its real important, IMHO, to let the fish swim here on their own. Many, maybe most of us were fish once, and maybe still are, but it was the curiosity to improve that got us to this place and other similar forums. Leave them be till it is painful for them.

Thanks Sammy

Born and raised in Green Bay... I don't live there atm but I'm still in Wisconsin. Go Pack go!

looking for fish is great but you have to remember some of us huband and wives using the same name . meet my husband at a table and you'll find a far different player than me. he plays more on emotions and i am more analytical. he wins on luck mostly and feelings. and i work for mine.

Nick would need a server park the size of a football stadium to cater for publication of my poker mistakes.

The term "fish" is used too loosely anymore. Guys checking to the river and then blasting a player for catching a middle pair that beats out his QJ, for example. I see that happening all the time, that is in no way a fish.
