    Have you read Sky Daves post in this section??

    Please do, you`re getting a bit irritating.

    Above hand not even a bad beat, you got outdrawn, it happens.

    Hey lolollolololollo

    When you first started posting I think people were overly critical of you, the hands you were posting and how you were playing. 1 or 2 posters were maybe a little unfair considering you're new to the site and the game. 

    Think you reacted the wrong way and chose to stick 2 fingers up @ them and continue to post loads of random stuff, rather than listen to what they said, kinda understandable considering the criticism, but not helpful for us forum users or yourself.

    Even the hands you occasionally post that are worthy don't get much attention or respect due to all your other random stuff. They see the name and either ignore it or don't take any time to acknowledge it.

    Maybe time for abit of compromise either way? You're obv gonna stick playing alot of poker so it's in your interests to reign it in abit.

    You've played enough poker now to understand that stuff like this hand happens all the time. And nobody is really interested in seeing it. 

    We all see it enough as it is, we want to avoid it if anything. 

    I'm sure if you start thinking before you post, people will start to respect your posts more and your threads will be more successful in the future. 

    I know someone who got banned from the forum for persistant posting, he was very popular here, yet wasn't above the law. 

    Would be a shame to see it happen to you too especially as you're new to the game & obviously very enthusiastic.

    Long post, but hopefully it will help you (and us) in the future. 

    Also a 'quality over quantity' lecture from someone with 14k posts is pretty lol I guess ;)

    gl man.

    okay, thanks for this, tbh one of my first posts i was looking for help on where i went wrong and i basically got trolled by everyone pointing out so many flaws in how i played they didn't say wha i should of done just how bad i played, so then i just started posting hands where i knew i played bad and jsut get people hating on it which i kind of enjoyed not going to lie espically when some of the players i've actually played at the tables are so much worse then me.

    Ill post less frequent :3

    I've deleted off a handful of posts on this thread. Insulting other players is a pretty good way to go about a forum ban, so please keep it off the forum.

    If you're not pretty sure you're ahead when you c-bet AQ on A58r then you need help lol. I probably go smaller on the turn to keep weaker hands in but you're never folding.

    lol - some advice for you, and I hope you take it in the right spirit.

    Basically, what are you hoping to achieve by posting all of these hands? If you want them to be analysed, some of them are definitely contenders (the AT v JJ hand, for instance). Some of them are just coolers. Others are standard hands. If you are more selective in the ones you post, you'll get more feedback on the hands themselves, rather than it becoming a stream of losing hands with bad beats in between.

    Less is more sometimes, and I think you'd get more honest feedback on the play in some of the hands if you narrowed down how many you posted. You can always submit hands from TV icon cash games or tournaments to the channel too.

    Good luck at the tables.

    If you want to keep a list of the hands you lose, that's fine - but tbh it's probably something you keep on your own file rather than bumping the one thread which then sits on top of BBV most of the time. Reason for that is it means people just switch off the hands entirely, meaning any that DO deserve a bit of comment don't get it.

    In terms of which hands to select, I'd go for ones which featured a tough post flop decision. Jamming it in with JJ, getting called by QJ and then having them spike a Q is unlucky but there's absolutely nothing anyone can say other than UL, you know?

    Focus on the key hands and giving them a bit more detail rather than a volley of UL but somewhat standard hands I'd say.

    alright yeah i get it, like where people can give their own opionion on how to play something, and its alot easier to make a collection on here since im on here alot anyway and i said people can post their on bad beats on here ect if they wish :p, as it gives people an understanding on how certain hands get played out sometimes and not to make the same sort of mistakes

    Hey lool

    I went through a very bad run of bad beats and ranted somewhat on here, I got some stick however I got alot of advice from members who helped me u nderstand where i was going wrong, however the best advice i got was bad beats happen to us all, we just have to learn to live with it, and if we cannot handle it then maybe you should have a break from poker and re-group ?? I did and have a few weeks off it does help then come back refreshed good luck
