My two 'rules'

[Gelford]

Seem that I'm finding less and less time to hang around here, so as a testament I restate my two 'rules' of poker as previously seen in the brew.

It is not elegant, but it is the best advice I can give on here in the dungeon.

Now go pwn! .... GL all.


Gelfords 1st rule of poker.

Do NOT refer to other players as Donks, Retards, Moron, Ghey or whatever you might think of.

Think of them with regards to their characteristics, like tight preflop, but tends to chase postflop or loose aggressive preflop and flop, but shuts down on turn or tight aggressive preflop, but tends to bet cbet larger on whiffed flops ... etc.


Losing to a retards is a one way route to Tiltville ... losing to a loosepassive player whom you played perfect, but unfortunately his draw hit making it a nice hand is more tolerable.

Gelfords 2nd rule of poker.

Your dick is smaller than you think

You sure you're not infringing on David Sklansky's less known book, "Don't be a dick, don't call them a donk"? Or his other book "Play better poker: Winning Ego Matches"

Yes, but the working title was eventually changed to the more well-known "Theory of Poker"

IMO almost all players that berate suck/tilt hard.

Ain't that the troof. I now put the estimate that tilt has cost me 5 ptbb over the last 28k hands. Check minraisers kill me. Although I now know how to punk them so that should be over now.

5PTBB/100? Or just 5PTBB? Because that's pretty danged
relaxed over 28k.

I approve.

Is this in reference to the post? Or is he making Gelf feel better about #2 and that it's actually a "nice size."

Sorry... everyone's making penis jokes but seemed to have missed that one.

How was theory two established :\

[Mr_Pathetic]

5 PTBB/100 as in like 2 buyins in a session easy. I can name off at least ten buyins off top my head that I have pissed away getting overly aggressive when I know better all because I am pissed off. I have stopped playing more then two hours at a time due to it.

Example. I have AJ flop is 558 I get donked for half pot, I raise, he reraises, I am pissed cause he been check raising me and minraising all my donks so I shove and he snap calls with 99.
