Jman's High Stakes Poker Trip Report (long)

[ QUOTE ]

This is getting ridiculous. He sat down in a game full of people playing INCREDIBLY TERRIBLE--, and played somewhat tightly for a full-ring game (15% is probably about optimal in a normal, aggro game). This game was off-the-charts loose--people cold-calling large pf raises from tight players with J8o, K7o, etc., and he had just sat down against a table full of people he didn't know. On top of that, he had a maximum of two hours to play. People who think he should've been in there mixing it up are clueless at best.

An ultra-loose, high-stakes game with limited availability, which will affect many people's perceptions of your play for a significant length of time and you really think the way to maximize EV is to buy short and fold 90% of your hands pre-flop?

Really?

He claims he showed up to show people what real poker is, but all he showed was that he's a NIT. He might be your friend or whatever, but defending him is stupid. He [censored] up. Admit it and move on. Maybe next time somebody gets on HSP they'll show up with the cash and the inclination to actually play poker.
