Why do u automatically label the aggressive players as idiots? do they make u feel uncomfortable? do u hate playing against them? do u hope ur drawn on a different table?
GOOD! Theyre half way there, its not a chatroom, its a poker tournament.! Yes the chat n banter is nice, but ur there to play cards I wud argue the people that enter these tournys then fold for 3 hours r the idiots, not the aggressive players!
If u show some resistance im sure he/she wud tighten up!
N before I get a backlash of comments, I was quoting the term "idiot" from someone who had already replied to this post! Ur adjective nt mine, even tho it is apropriate!
DOHH
Apologies if I came across abit strong, again, but I genuinely feel so strongly about it, hes basically calling me an idiot! - not directly
As the standard of play rises, so will the aggression. Tight players can combat this, its essential for a poker player to be able to adapt! Thats what this game is all about! no?

HOPE THIS HELPS!

Aggression is a major part of the game as everyone knows. Some use it more than others and i appreciate this and respect it. But there is a group of people who use aggression for aggressions sake and it has no basis in poker. I have seen your play Dohhh and i know that you are aggressive but not stupid, it is the one trick pony super aggressive players that need to be educated. And before you argue no i do not suggest they play my style but just tone down a bit and start using intelligence alongside the aggression
I hope this clarifies what my post said. There are enough idiots playing on this site, but they are idiots because they are idiots, not because of the style of play they choose.
TO ADD TO MY POSTS FROM LAST NIGHT . " THESE PLAYERS " WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RARELY GET INTO THE CASH , ATLEAST IN DEEP STACKS . A GOOD PLAYER WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO , ONCE THEY HAVE A LARGE STACK . MOST OF THE PLAYERS I AM REFERRING TOO , WILL SOONER OR LATER BLOW THE LOT IN A FEW HANDS . GOT TO ADD , THAT I DON'T MIND HAVING A PLAYER LIKE THAT ON MY TABLE BUT DO SUFFER FROM ENVY WHEN IT IS SOMEONE ELSE TAKING THERE CHIPS
... OR LESS THEY GET LUCKY AND HIT THERE RUNNER RUNNER ETC. AGAINST ME .
You can make an "idiot"play - Idiot is describing the doing word? haha its so long since I did english lit at 6 form. Well it isnt but it seems that way. Whats a verb then? haha
I'll have a look at the strategy section Talon not been there for a while ill comment there.
Any help with mi english language appreciated! hahah
DOHH
i hope this helps.dav
I have played in half a dozen DS tourneys and i have found that they have helped my game come along no end as i am still learning the game. I even cashed in one once upon a time. I do think the structure is better for some more steady progressive poker where a raise of some kind will get the respect it deserves and you dont often find an aggressive all-in in the early stages of the tourney. Yes, you will find the odd one or two who think they are in a velocity of some kind and will go OTT more often than not but that is they choice. Everyone has paid the same entry fee and can play however they want so i do agree with MR DOHHHHHHHH that the aggressive players should not be labbled 'idiots' but be allowed to play how they see fit.
And i hope this next bit doesnt come over as a 'bad beat whinge' because it is defiantley not, but in the last two DS i have played I have once gone out with KK v AA against the CL which is just auto play in later stages of the tourney and another one went out when i was ahead and got rivered close to the FT time. But unlike one of the opens, where you get knocked out either by a good play or bad play, I didnt feel crushed and enjoyed the poker, the standard of play and defiantley all the GOOD banter and chat throughtout a long structered MTT.
PS..I think the players that promote these do a thankless job but a worthwhile one.
IHTH.........(any idea want this is a abrv for????.....LOL)
I HOPE THIS HELPS.DAV
There is no such thing as an "idiot play". I think you are confusing it with an "idiotic play" or, possibly, a "play by an idiot" which are two different things. That is why it is important to be precise with the English language - it avoids ambiguity.
Also, "play" in this context is a noun not a verb (or "doing word"). If "play" were being used as a verb in this sentence then it would have an entirely different meaning, something along the lines of "you can make an idiot play but you cannot make him think".
Finally, a word used to modify a verb is an adverb not an adjective.
Please let me know if you require any further clarification.
I hope that this helps (but, somehow, I doubt it). :-)
