Why I throw chairs

[FreakSex]

I know this should be in BBV -- I don't give a flying [censored].

Why/how is it that the people who go all in every hand get rewarded? Why/how is it that the one time I get KK, he DOESN'T go all in, but simply makes a raise? And why/how is it that this [censored] can happen to me? I fold KT, QT, A8, and I get 77, and THIS HAPPENS TO ME:

The next hand he goes all in with, I get A2 -- he has AJ, obv. I flop a 2, and it still doesn't hold up.

if he's shoving every hand why did you fold KT and A8?

[FreakSex]

KT and A8 are very weak hands, but the best non-uber hands I got. I didn't want to lose, here.

[elffaw]

You clearly have the attitude and mindset of a winning poker player.

[FreakSex]

I should have called with KT and A8, you say? Psht, I play to win, not to gamble.

However, 83 over 77 is pure, unadulterated [censored].

[roommate]

easy fold... wait for a better spot

WTF are you calling with 77? Tbh you should've waited for AA because then you wouldn't be here.

What are you talking about, you simpleton? You don't play to gamble? What do you think betting on the outcome of unseen cards is?

So, you play a gambling game to not gamble?

Makes sense.
