Why would you avoid bad players?? these players are gonna be making by far the most mistakes pre and post flop...you want to play as many pots with these players as possible, and avoid the sharks....

That's right, but I prefer to wait until most of them are gone. Normally it does'nt last long. I think I'll change my style but for now there's a german saying: burned kid fears the fire ...
Too many chips are gone with those people and i'm still learning.

If I am such a bad player or "an idiot" as some of you refer to my post. Why do you all complain when you get beat at the end when you don't even know what the final outcome is? As if you guys wouldn't know this but the hand is only won if:

A) You get him off the hand (he folds, which his opponent has a history of not doing)
B) You have the best hand at the end of the hand. In this case he got beat.

And as far as getting equity built up. His equity was whipped out in one hand not because he played this hand bad, it is because he did not play his oponent. Does this make sense?

I am only an idiot to those who are not respectful of others ideas. So I guess I am an idiot in your mind as you are always correct.

I hope a leader sees this post and does something about the name calling. It is not respectful and downright rude. That is my opinion and that is that.

Marco i like some of ur ideas bud, they are very interesting, dont pay any attention to rude comments , u are better than that bud. U play your game and let the others play theirs. I understand exactly what u are saying. Most of time the stupid donks do knock themselves out very quickly, no need to get involved with those donks. u like to see a flop before u go all in and thats fine if that s the way u like to play, u play ur game. Everybody has their own unique style , thats what makes poker so interesting, theres no 1 right or wrong way to play.

I see your point Marco, and in most cases i would agree 100%, but you have the NUTS preflop with AA and should therefore do everything you can to get your money in preflop...if you take a bad beat, well thats poker, but you got your money in well ahead and thats the only thing that matters in poker...

Thanks for the feedback guys...
I guess it was just one of those days..
I also agree with cat5cane with the comment about everyone plays poker different..
I just felt like it was time to push at that moment.
Thanks again for all the replies.

I can totally understand that feeling. My pocket pair of Aces got beat by A/J os earlier today in the pokercast freeroll on stars. I was not to happy with that but what can you do?
