Default Re: why do U have to MINIMUM raise preflop????

It never throws me off my game, in fact, those that do it seem to get felted more than any other player at the table. You guys are the nits.

Reminded me of a guy I played as I first started out playing online:

"Just call to see the explicative flop", he'd moan every single time somebody raised.

No, we play poker, it is up to you to prove that the way we play is wrong.

Their play must be easily exploitable, but apparently nobody is doing that?

I don't think its easily exploitable, as long as you have a stack behind you to get value from implied odds. I don't play recklessly either to re-raises or after the flop.

When you minimally raise every hand preflop, it tells me three things about you:

1) You played scared

2) You are unsure playing your hand on the flop

3) You are scared to play bigger pots

That, to me, is a nit. Thus, you being a person that minimally raises every hand preflop, is a nit.

Henson - if you have no problem adapting and it doesn't put you on tilt - wtf are you complaining about?

You said you are felting people easier. Do you want this to stop?!?!

Buffoon.

In reality, it IS making you tilt and you are throwing crass reasoning at why it is a bad idea for people to do it to you!!!

Right. That's why I want to subscribe to your newsletter, and why I'm trying to reform myself rather than be subjected to the timing out trick.

And you are quite perceptive. I'm raising, and you are whining about not being able to see your precious flop?. Yet I'm scared and don't know how to play?

By the way, As I was typing this i just felted a guy with a set of As that was tired of my miniraising [censored]. Was that you?

[/ QUOTE ] Once again, if it works against certain opponents, more power to ya and gogogogogogo. It is VERY easy to exploit, though, don't fool yourself. You seem to pay attention to your villain's, though, so if they let you run over them this way, go win moneys.

Yes, I agree. And notice in my original post regarding "the parameters" is that if any of the nits aren't nits, I straighten up or leave. You can't do it if every time you put your neck on on the chopping block, somebody chops your head off.

But they don't. They look at my stats and think, just wait till I get a hand......at which time I will refuse to play back unless I do have a hand. i get just as many real hands as anyone else. The advantage is the perception that you are the profit center, splashing around like an idiot.

It doesn't tilt me, I just find it annoying and a useless strategy. And if you're not 10-tabling like most of you nits, then it makes it an extra 15 seconds at least each round. It adds up after awhile.

Yes. It is a quite severe punishment.
Please take me off the newsletter list.
You are just too big of a douche for me to continue this charade.

Thank you for your contributions, both in terms of strategy and finances.

You don't mind if I call deliberately delaying a game in retribution for raising "pulling a henson, or the henson-douche manuever", do you?
