Default Re: Why so much hate between Twoplustwo / Pocketfives?

Cause pocketfives is just a bunch of horrible idiot donkeys worshipping horrible tournament players. they are so scared of criticism i saw them once delete a post cause a poster called some p5s tourney guy fat

p5s is by far the biggest joke in poker, with the exception of like 2 players they are not as good as the 100th best player on here and they act like they are gods gift to poker

While P5s is terrible, some of the "Top 20 Player" threads here really give them a run for their money.

Hate? Friendly rivalry? Internet nerds with low self-esteem and too much time on their hands? You be the judge!

Personally, the only thing I "hate" about P5s is the message-board software, otherwise I'm glad that both 2p2 and P5s are productive outlets for poker geeks.

The amount of effort that must have been put in trying to find worse software than 2+2... staggering.

I've always heard P5s has terrible players that give horrible advice but I never believed it until just now, when I first visited the site to see if it was true. The very first thread I opened advocated folding KK on a KJT flop getting 2:1

I was playin at harrahs New Orleans, 1-2 no limit. Limped around, I was in the big blind with pocket kings. I made it 15 total, 4 others called (5 total). Flop comes Kd Jd Ts. I lead out 45(another 410 behind), guy folds, guy raises 145 total(about another 100 behind), guy folds, button raises 395 all in, now its back to me. I dont know anything of the first guy but the button is a pretty good player. Any advice on this hand would be helpfulful, Call or fold or just a different way to play it.

Reply:
Easy fold. Everything else pretty standard. If the button is as good as you say he is, he has AQ...maybe Q9. Maybe a set is looking to gamble, I suppose.

Apparently a raise to $30 is necessary preflop to pare the field a bit. That's a nice game you have going there.

reply2:
if it limped around why wouldn't the guy on the button raise it up with AQ to narrow the field? but I can really see Q9 though, since you raise in the BB I can see him calling Q9 on the button with 3 callers ahead of him. If you wanna gamble for a huge pot call, but other wise I'm pretty sure your beat.

Reply 3:
Because if he's good he knows that he'd have to raise more than that hand is worth to pare down the field. Or it may just not pare down at all, as AA just found out. He may as well play it for the limp with position and see if he can't trap a weaker ace into a decent sized pot or flop something huge. At a loooooooose table like this, it's definitely something I'd consider. Either way, it's not a hand that can be eliminated. I'd rather get into pots with these guys with hands like J10/JQ/89 any day over AQ. He might be thinking something similar.

There's no reason to call. This looks like a table that's going to offer a lot of opportunities to get a lot of money in very, very good. Why bother here?
