Hahahahahaha, what isn't frustrating about tournaments?

You cannot pick the softest table(s), you cannot afford a suckout vs a call machine/LAG, you cannot afford a single trip-up on the cooler hand of the sneaky nit... You cannot afford too many engages with the calculating TAG without near nuts... You cannot afford to risk anything but then again... You cannot afford to not risk... oh.... Damn...

Basically every single move is a wrong move unless you win the hand in a tournament. Mhmm, that's called results-oriented thinking and that's bad poker but in tournaments you actually will be folding aces or QKsuited etc because you are near bubble this or that whatever.

Enter the tournament, the loss is your fault. It's no one's fault but your own. We must unite as a poker force and eradicate this cancerous form of the game. Cash games are the future of poker, I promise to you.

You should see this in +. Opponents who have time to understand your strategy, too, are changing! When I am transplanted for another table, I always look at the opponents for a few hands, and then I start playing!

Play money cash games are not the future.
I have done some searching and found you don't play alot of real money tournaments, and the little amount that you do play is not enough to form an opinion on real money games.
BTW, I'm that sneaky little nit that waits for players like you to make that mistake, because you always do.


Of course you have to watch how the players play when you move to a new table but when you are sitting on a table where you have established a tight image, and now you're ready to switch gears, then *poof*, you moved tables, now you have to re-establish your table image.
In one tournament I think I moved 4 times with-in 1 hour during the later point of a tourney, where steals become important, but without that tight table image, it makes it harder to steal.

You don't really have a strong grasp of the English language, I did not say you can't post your opinion, I'm just saying your opinion on real money games is based on an insignificant number of games played, if you bring your style of play to a real money table, you will be picked apart.
You may say that your style is unpredictable but it isn't.
You'll raise small pairs from any position, you'll limp or call with premium hand in hopes of trapping but also allowing too many players in the hand, you'll just check or call your set right down to the river, allowing opponents to catch their straight or flush, you'll play all suited connectors and suited aces.....I could go on picking apart your play style.
And how do I know your style?, I've been there, new, still wet behind the ears(in poker that is), thinking the aggressive game is where its at, but in truth, you need to mix up your play in poker, you have to have the ability to change gears, to be able to beat the tight players and the loose players.

Now unblock yourself from the pokerstars search feature so I can sit at a playmoney table with you and pick apart your play, I'm not asking for a HU, I just want your play money chips, I know what I'm asking scares you but I only want to teach you a lesson.

And if you learn something from me taking all your play money, then you'll have learned something here at Cardschat and that is what we're all about here at Cardschat, to teach others about poker.
You did choose this site so you could improve your game, right?
Then let me teach you something.

In time you will see the truth. I also change my style, you don't know a thing.

I don't raise all pocket pairs and I don't at all play all suited ace hands. I can fold I can play only I know the truth.

I am a millionaire with 3 wives, 12 kids, 14 grandchildren and live in a big house with all of them but you can't come over because I only know the truth.

Poker is like a swimming pool, there's the shallow end where children and elderly people splash around in, that is the play money end and there is the deep end where the big people play, that is the real money end, and only you know what side of the pool your splashing around in.
