Just wait till you hit a dry streak so dry you can't climb out of a hole for 6 months after winning for a year and half. Then come back and re-read your thread.

I've been playing poker for years. Much of that time I've been playing for a living. I've been there, done that, and seen nearly everything. Including downswings.


[ QUOTE ]
The reason people cry about badbeats and feel sorry for themselves, is because we are emotional human beings.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree with you there, but it doesn't mean it's right thing to do. I'm not a very emotional person. I think in terms of logic and don't feel sorry for those who don't/can't.

You are telling people to quit?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm telling those who can't deal with downswings and bad beats to consider quitting. If nothing else for the sake of their emotional well being. If they can get over it then play on. We have many young posters on this forum that will probably solve much of their emothional problems as they grow up and mature.

What are you, some sorta bigshot?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think I have developed a reputation of being honest, logical, and reliable (as far as providing solid/accurate advice) on this site and in many other cricles. You and the other members can decide if that makes me a "bigshot".

You going to tell a suicidal person to jump? That's exactly what you're doing to poker players.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't see a correlation there at all. I'm telling a suicidal person to get off the edge to the side of saftey. Telling someone who can't handle the inevitable down swings and bad beats to continue playing would be more like telling them to jump.

Grow up and for god's sake, don't reply or bump this thread, perhaps bookmark it and look at it in a year or two and realize how immature you were back in the day

I offer that same advice to you and every other sobbing member of Two Plus Two.
