The reasons I never post on strategy/hand analysis threads are:
a. I'm rubbish.
b. There will always be a diversity of opinion no matter what.
with regards to(b) that is what i wanted opinions.
alot of people on here have played poker alot more years than myself and i wanted there opinions.
seems you cant even ask for that if your face does not fit.lol.dav
Point b that Elsadog makes is spot on as well.
Dav - read my two Posts on page One of this Thread - therein lies why you get a bit of a warm reception. Trust me on this 100% - it's not what you say, it's how you say it.
If you take on board what I Posted, you'll get a better standard of reply.
Essentially, replies will usually be in the same tone as the question. It's how Forums work.
Have a good evening fella.
I'm fairly sure that not one person has had a dig at you personally on this thread. You've said you wanted people's opinions on here & you've got just that but don't seem to like it when one or two people don't say what you want/expect them to.
are you celebrating the poor quality of play because you find it easy or are you slating it because supposed poor players seem to be winning when going in behind?
Let's just move on, eh? Phrase the questions "just so" & nobody will twist anything. Please see my previous Posts.
Anyhow, to the question, you seem like quite an experienced player yourself so you can probably see some/most of these situations coming a mile off. Maybe the player(s) in question are still (relatively) new to the game and will make these mistakes. Generally not plays I make myself (unless I feel I have a good read on my opponent) as I always get a bit nervous when overcards/straightening/flushing boards come to my pocket pair and I'm quite happy to fold them. Maybe some people are just complete non believers?
TBH, I really don't know the answer, lol!
I think I know when I'm beat.
No further questions M'Lord.
yes i see it most of the time and i love it. People are often unable to let go of weak hands... it can sometimes be funny but you have to remember a lot of players are inexperienced or just want to play for fun without spending time learning the game. that better?
Hi Dave, yes i have noticed that some players do overvalue pocket pairs and call a lot when they are behind. The overall numbers of these types of players fluctuate and as some improve, others leave the site and more join! If you have noticed an increase then possibly there is! Happy days:)
Some obervations:
These players are either new to the game or simply dont believe and think people are always bluffing.
These players will lose long term until such a time that they learn to find the fold button. Luckily for profitable players like my self, some people never seem to learn this basic skill.
It is harder to get a read from these players because they call with hands that many players would insta fold. One thing i have learnt is that it is very important not to lose control of a pot vs these players. Also avoid taking coin flips. Also once they rereaise or start to bet big, its usually time to get folding. Also avoid bluffing. But as far as i am concerned they can call away without a decent hand or without the odds as much as they like imo. Its the way that i stay afloat!
Hope this helps

Now where is tikay?
Tikay it seems that WEBBY234 has an exemption certificate as he is apparently allowed to throw insults behind the comfort of his keyboard,RE he calls me a plonker.all the best.dav
but the fish will always be there m8,

it hurts and i know a lot of posts seem to have got to you ,

if you roll with it,
debate yes but not attack the opinions it generates,
it works better this way,
always your m8,

Feel free to ask the question of Sky-Rich, as I have no authority in such matters whatsoever.
You a Radiohead fan? They did a track called "Paranoid Android", & it had (something like) this line in it......
"When I'm King, you'll be first against the wall".
They'd need a whopping great wall, I tell you.
Speak tomorrow, have a good night.
i have had to delete a couple of posts from this thread as they broke the house rules.
dav + tikay, yes you are both correct, personal abuse is unacceptable and warnings/ action will take place via private messaging.
thank you for your patience with this.
Rich
you have shown yourself to be the back bone of skypoker forum,

i am sure if there was a vote for the topman in this forum,
for both posters and mods,
you would come out tops.
over and out roborover !
thank you for your kind words irishover.
(the cheques in the post... sssssh)
Is this a useful reply?
I see the problem in 2 ways, and yes there are a lot of muppet calls. There have been a lot of muppet calls for about 4 years now. In fact ever since the online game really took off.
In stt's the bad callers will hit but overall you want them to make those calls. A 6 seater with 3 muppets is good not bad. You will win on more tables than you lose on.
Mtt's are something different. Given an even spread of muppets throughout the tournament you might expect the same ratio as in the stt's. The big difference is that you can get through table after table of muppets but it only takes one to get lucky to destroy your chances or take you out. The odds are not in your favour to get past them all. The best way to avoid this is to be passive for the early stages and get involved later when a large percentage of muppets have gone back to muppetland.
I understand your frustration but it's the nature of the game nowadays. Long gone are the days of expecting to cash in every mtt. I've been dabbling in cash games recently (something I never used to do) and the muppets there are much less of a problem. the odds will get them eventually.
When the site starts the rebuy mtts that will cause different problems but I prefer my chances of doing well in rebuys against a field of many muppets.
