Default Re: fish commenting on my tight play

[ QUOTE ]
I love fish. I love how fish taste as it dissolves in my mouth. It is good and I like it, too.

Seriously, wtf G? Do we really need to rehash the stone fundamentals every single thread? 1.) You are not there to be social, make friends, or please anybody with the way you play. If the comments of tards is gonna get you upset, or other people's perceptions of you, you are in the wrong game. By a mile. 2.) Poker is a game played for money. The object of the game is to make as much money as possible.
3.) Who says you have to play TAG? What distinguishes good players from bad players is the ability to adapt to particular circumstances, more commonly known as intelligence. If these "fish" are fish because they play an unthinking style ruled completely by habit and rooted in impulse, are you not also a fish for being equally rigid at the other end of the spectrum?

The "they're maniacs so I have to play tight; it's like a crapshoot" argument is a copout. These are the games you WANT to be in, believe me. All you need to do is modify your bankroll/buyin management requirements to play in these games. Buy in SHORTER and play AGGRESSIVELY in the right places. Mix it up with the chimps. Expect negative variance, but also expect the pots you win and the winning sessions you log to be much bigger. It is you who is the fish if you are breaking even/ only turning a very slight profit in these games.

Majority of this post is garbage and should be ignored. You seem to know that though.
