Contempt, holding my opponents, the world I hold in contempt. Why? My opponents should hold me in contempt, if they do not hate me; they should because I most certainly do of them. This allows me to prove myself against the game every day. Not taking what I do for granted, not feeling sorry for another if they beat me or if I beat them. This game is about who is the best predator at the table, in the time, in the moment? Just as I wait to do battle, how am I going to get under the skin of my opponent? My play, talk, against those I hold in contempt? I have to figure out what they hate most and use this against them?

What I say here, discrete, narrative, theories, how I approach strategy, value, any description of what I know; does this transfer to the table in these rigid, robotic words laid out as if there was an exact path to victory? I can only imagine in a perfect world with my thoughts of empirical victory every time as if I am the only person who knows this path? What a cruel joke mentally because of how I should hold myself in contempt, just letting myself be weak, allowing myself to think this thought just one time?

Who is to judge because of the subjective posts in this forum, and then apply what is said to the table in some empirical vision of how someone would play, in any given random moment, just as if the judge can be objective in what is read? How can a person judge what is in the hearts and minds of people? What test can be applied, what key chart can measure the results of a subjective test? Would the results predict future actions consistently? Would this give the judge reliability, validity of what they read, vision, from reading subjective posts? Just as a person practices poker, reading posts, it takes time to perfect the method of assessment to measure subjective material. With no empirical path, and no empirical measurement can be given to predict the future of a person’s thoughts from subjective material about poker.

Then what is the point of it all? Is there any point to all of this? Not really because of the process of a person playing poker and posting is the cross to bare for people. Does this lead us all to the path of contempt of the process or the game? Maybe neither? It is not up to me to judge but only to exist within the social contract that binds us all to this forum. It is only up the rater to measure what is being posted for example, the person reading this to measure quality that would allow them to enter a club to play free rolls that are password protected. Was this the point, just to post passion about wanting to be a member in the free roll club in this forum? I do not know exactly but I do look forward to do battle if accepted. Hope everyone has success this year in their personal endeavors.

I don't understand all of what you are saying, but I think you haven't understood what they mean by quality. Have you read this tread?

https://www.cardschat.com/forum/cardschat-freerolls-31/cardschat-freeroll-club-requirements-145133/

By reading that you will understand that anyone can get into the Freeroll Club. But everyone gets it there the same way. And it's all so damn simple, a little posting and a little time. Hope to see you in the Club soon. And GL to you


If you do not know, understand, what I was saying? Why would you make a statement saying that I did not understand what is meant by quality posting, then give me a link? Of course I have read the requirements, but what I was saying in the entire post was abstract and the meaning or understanding is subjective to the reader. There is no empirical understanding of what is posted. I post with my personality, just as I play with personality, to disguise and have my opponents guess at why I play or post the way that I do. The writing style is to invoke thought, either to ask questions, or make a reader think, and not just make a blanket statement for a response as some examples. The job of a person having to decide what is quality about a post is very hard and that is part of what I was debating abstractly. Test and measurements about giving or scoring such assessments takes practice; especially because there is no test with right or wrong answers, only our posts, and I feel for the person having to go through the process. I was casting doubt on the process and not the person rating the material that is all subjective because poker is subjective. Explaining this may or may not lose some of the meaning behind just posting to be posting creatively that was just for fun.

You are as crazy as I am and I admire that in a man or a woman and, to be politically correct in whatever year we are currently in, a transgender.
If you are not already in the club I will vouch for you but unfortunately that and $5CDN will buy you a cup of latte at Starbucks.
I look forward to playing you.
You should really join the league where the most competitive play takes place. Next league will be starting in the spring.
Loved your post btw. It is one of the highest quality posts I have seen here.
