Hi all, for what could be my final post
I`ve been playing poker for over a year now and have recently become more and more frustrated with ppl saying what u should or what u should not do playing poker.
A few things have come to mind over time.
One is "If u play at a tight table, loosen up, at a loose table, tighten up"
This statement does seem to contradict itself. Say u r at a table where there are 4 loose players. U should tighten up? Now, say 3 of the 4 tighten up, leaving one to keep playing loose. The loose player is now in the position we are told u should be - at a tight table play loose.
Another big problem you have - it is impossible to beat someone who does not care if they win or lose. By the time u get a half decent hand to take them on with they have either got so many chips u do not stop them or they muff u out.
Another is "it does not matter what stakes u play, u still get muffed out" Then in their next breath, u get the same ppl asking what stakes are you playing when u post a hand analysis
I`ve enjoyed the banter here but I feel that I do not have the mindset to continue to play poker - I can`t get away from the fact that the game is more of a game of chance than a lot of ppl are prepared to admit!!!
GL to all of u, I might b back in the future, but the way I feel at present I would be better off investing my money in the lottery - better return and everyone admits it`s a game of chance!!!
