I have been at a table where you have 5 players fully stacked, there to play poker at that limit. Someone buys in for the minimum and starts pusing with any pair, AK-AJ.

According to the FTOP, isn't this a good thing?

How so?

How can you make a mistake when you know exactly how your opponent plays his hands?

Because knowing the hand range hes pushing with you know the your odds of winning is somwhere in the range of 5% - 93%, therefor theres no way you can make a mistake?

You're a retard.

Maybe you will change your post, but I thought it would be worth quoting it for the world to see.

Soko,

See that question mark on the end? Its looking for an explanation. You see soko, regular people use a question mark to make a sentence into a question.

You then reply by calling me a retard. Thats a very good explanation.

A little hint. To you all this sarcasm, accusations that posters are stupid, and name calling, shows how cool/smart you are.



But to anyone with average intelligence, they see what is blatantly obvious. Your incredibly insecure.

I feel sorry for you. Its sad to see someone have such a low esteem they have a need to put others down to feel better about themself.

Example:

Never played anything near that limit so can't comment on that level.

I depsize when players come to the 100NL table with $20. Then preflop fold, fold, fold, ....... ALL-IN. Fold ..... ALL-IN.
You've raised up your AK, got one caller, then some short stacked jackass in the blinds always wants to make it a race of it with his 55. I guess they prefer poker over bingo.

But I put the blame solely on the poker site. The buy in limits should be 50-100BB. Mabey minimum 40x bb.

[/ QUOTE ]3

This especially sucks when you have him dominated like when you're holding a bigger pocket pair, ya know? I hate when people push with garbage, let me just keep winning the blinds!!

(sarcasm)

[/ QUOTE ]

What kind of a response is that?

A normal response would be:

"This shouldn't bug you, there are some good +EV opportunities you can cash in on such as......"

Instead, you put me down, act childish, and believe it actually makes you look good for doing it.


I have no hard feelings towards you, But for now I'm just going to put you on ignore.

Good luck to you

For the record I only put you down so I can laugh at myself. I don't expect respect from any of you.

another 4k in the last 2 sessions. Anybody who says this isnt a long term viable strategy better hope I cool off before my numbers become statistically significant or youll need to make a new theory.

I'd say you can make $.50-$1 per hand long term. But swings can get nasty.

Playing full stacks, a good player can make $2/per hand, up to the best player, who makes around $4-5 longterm.

and i think it's super unethical, and your just ruining good games, and being super rude
