Maybe we can line the fool up with 5/$200's with gimme and then 5/$200's with cat!...I'm ready for a big laugh!

I didn't ask gimme or cat about this...but I know they are always available when it's fishing season!

Classic example of a whiner and loser you see on stars and FTP all the time. They go out on a coin flip situation and then challenge a heads-up tourney. Wow 5 games ought to really prove something when even 100,000 hands in PT isn't even enough to establish a provable statistical trend. Do you actually have PT and understand stats? What is your BB/100 on 89s btw, ranks up there with AA?

I pointed out my LONG TERM stats, not some 5 man heads-up battle which proves nothing, especially from a man advocating all-in every hand in freerolls and penny ante games. Yes can AA lose? Absolutely, lost with it 4 times in past 2 days when all-in during a number of $60 SNG to fish with -20% ROIs on sharkscope. Did I fret? No, if those fish weren't there to make idiot plays and win once in awhile, there'd be no money for the rest of us to win and the only winners would be the house through rake.

You post garbage that would have the average player here either constantly having to reload their bankroll or worst yet quitting by following your insane concepts.

NO TOP PRO disregards starting hand standards. Do they change up and try moves? Obviously as to try and not be predictable. But if you don't think they value premium hands then you must give me an explanation of Helmuth's WSOP bracelet record.

I've won SNGs never even looking at my hole cards testing a theory I read in a book, though it was all based on position theory which, may be in of itself, more important then even getting premium cards.

At this point I'm done wasting my time talking to a child who has little if any class, makes statistical assumptions with little or no back-up or realistic samples and intelligence enough to understand studying, in any field, is a key to success.

But I do thank you for one thing, it has reinforced by understanding that a fool and his money go hand and hand with foot in mouth. And thanks FINK for continuing to change my opinion on your intelligence and knowledge of the game as well as life.

Crapshoot, you always complain about starting hands. THEY GET CRACKED!!

It happens to everyone, hell its happened to me DEEP in BIG tourneys, my AA get crakced by 88. If I had one Id be a CL with 150 people left and the winner getting 30k. I didnt bitch and moan about it, I got over it.

No one ever said it comes down to your starting hand, I know damn well its not over till the board falls. But Im not going to play rubbish simply because my big cards get cracked. There is a reason PERCENTAGES are in poker. YOu will win more hands than you lose with AA over a long period of time, and lose more than you win with 23o. Math doesnt lie.

And to B, I would make the call everytime. Preflop against one player, Im in a great position to double up. Like I said earlier, as long as I made the best play, there is no point in bitching.

Crapshoot, can you honestly say you have never sucked out on anyone??? Whatgoes around comes around, it happens to everyone. I think your naive to belive that simply because your big cards lose, that you wont play them anymore. Hell, didnt you recently tell us your not even a winning player?

I think its ignorant to go on about how you cant win with big cards. You may be in a slump but there will be a time when you win most of your hands with big cards.

You claim you have played for a long time and have all this experince in cards. But how can that be true? If you truly have been dealt SOO many hands, you would KNOW big hands sometimes get cracked, but win in the long run.

MTT AND SINGLE TABLE ADVICE FOR ALL OF U. 3 SPOTS U CAN PLAY WITHOUT CARDS, THE CUTOFF, THE BUTTON , AND THE SMALL BLIND. USE THESE THREE POSITIONS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE IN TOURNAMENTS IF THEY ARE OPEN WHEN IT GETS TO U. IF THERE IS NOT A RAISER IN FRONT OF U , COME IN RAISING FROM THESE THREE SPOTS AND CONTINUATION BET ON FLOP IF ITS CHECKED TO U. THESE ARE THE THREE BEST SPOTS ON THE TABLE THAT U CAN PLAY FROM, ESPICIALLY IF UR GETTING SHIT FOR CARDS. U GUYS START TRYING TO PLAY MORE HANDS FROM THESE SPOTS AND WATCH YOUR CHIPSTACK GROW!!!!!!

ANOTHER THING U CAN DO IS RERAISE FROM THE BIG BLIND IF U GET RAISED FROM THE PLAYER ON THE BUTTON. MAKE ABOUT A POT SIZE RERAISE AND LEAD OUT ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF THE POT ON FLOP IF THE BUTTON CALLS YOUR PRFLOP RERAISE. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THAT MOST OF THE TIME THE BUTTON WILL RAISE U REGARDLESS OF HIS CARDS IF HES A GOOD PLAYER, BECAUSE HE KNOW S ODDS ARE SMALL BLIND AND BIG BLIND WONT PICK UP HANDS TO CONTEST HIM WITH AND HE WILL SIMPLY STEAL THE BLINDS AND ANTES WITH HIS BUTTON RAISE, I LIKE TO COUNTERACT THIS ATTACK BY RERAISING THE BUTTON RAISER TO RESTEAL HIS RAISE AND COLLECT ALL THE DEAD MONEY. I FIND THAT HE WILL FOLD PREFLOP TO ME OR POST FLOP AFTER I MAKE A CONTIUATION BET ABOUT 80% OF THE TIME WHICH WORKS OUT GREATLY IN MY FAVOR. GL AT THE TABLES

LOL and what have I been saying my friend...position and strategies will win more games for you than waiting around for and betting the farm on your premium starting cards and thanking the heavens above that you know how to use a slide rule and then live and die by the percentage and probability.

Yes I want to be there when you have a slight edge on the turn and call your farm with it...slight favor or strong favor...a favorite is a favorite and guess what...there are no guarantees with even strong odds in your favor. You are probably one that would do the double up theory on a coin flip and re-double and re-double etc. until it hit's, because...hey the odds say I will win one out of two!...and then at 30 your betting a billion to win one....hey it's coming...the odds say one out of 2.

Yes rw even I suck out 1% to my opponents 99%...in most cases you play stupid moronic poker to suck out...it's not what goes around comes around!

And who the phuck said play junk...I said play poker!

Smart play will outplay odds any day of the week!

If odds are the almighty...then why didn't Fink call his King high club flush to Cat's 8 high heart...after all only one flush card could beat him a Ace of clubs...you talk about odds...a one outer...LOL...it seems to me that a king high flush would beat high card 8...LOL...I now wonder if Fink would have thrown in if he held the Ace of clubs...maybe he could see a str8 flush possibility on the board...yes Fink an Ace high flush also beats a high card 8 and so does a str8 flush...LOL

Keep talking guy's...you are really convincing me...LOL

And hey rocketman...somehow that golfing avatar isn't right...you belong in a skirt!
