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.

All good thoughts.

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?

Ever heard the expression, "if you wrestle with a pig, you're only gonna get dirty"?
If you start playing like a donk cuz you're playing with donks, you're still a donk.

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.

Once again, maybe I'm missing something, but when people are playing all the way to the river every hand, you're going to need the best hand to win. Playing with [censored] cards and calling to the river isn't going to make you a winner in the game I've explained in the OP......but hell, maybe you can change my "fishy" play with an explanation that trumps the proven odds of simple math. I'm all ears.
