Hey thatgreekdude. (love that SN BTW
. Yea, I think this problem you speak of is much more wide spread than you may realize. It is hard to flop the nutz then have a card come that will almost certainly put you behind. I dont think there is any easy solution to this. People will study, review hands, spot those leaks and then in game do it again. You recognize the problem, and that is good. Step one is accomplished. You have to realize there is a problem before you can solve it. I cant tell you what you have to do to make yourself apply this knowledge in-game, but remember this post, this problem, and try to think a few seconds before you make that call. If you really believe you are behind, you HAVE to fold. If you play online, put a note on your monitor. Live, when you are about to make that call - and you are steaming or frustrated or w/e - WAIT a minute and think about it.
Try to remember, you need a reason to call, and if you dont have one, folding should be 1st on your list of options. Also remember, just because you have a good hand - that is no longer the nutz - does not mean you have a right to the money in the pot. Bad players who limp with silly hands will still hit and win. When someone so obviously plays his flush face up, try to look at it that way. "He has a flush, I have a str8. What should I do here?" Then it becomes a bit easier, I hope.
Obviously someone (ronoh) corrected TOmmmi, and had their post deleted. TOmmmi certainly needed a bit of wake up slapping, but I guess you went too far (even tho that post is incredibly stupid on many levels). But I am assuming you went overboard, and the mods can delete without PMing, which is not only their right, but needs no justifying. If you remember what you wrote, it will probably be painfully obvious why it was deleted. Posts that make a good point still need to keep a line which they do not cross, even when responding to stupid posts like the one from TOmmmi. If mods had to explain their every move, they would waste time that they do not have. Not to mention they are mods. They "got the power". IMO your comment "let em tone it down a tad" shows that you did go too far. Be happy that you didnt get a PM, it would have probably been an infraction. Lesson learned.
TOmmmi, your post was very bad advice, and also possibly reflects how you play poker, which you need to think about. You need to read the post you respond to, so as not to come off sounding as ignorant as you did. And you were insulting without offering one solid piece of advice. Please think before you post trashy posts like this again. Be ready to get bashed for this type of ignorant posting anyway.
