    For sure.

    Really bugs me when they go onto forums making out it's got something to do with strategy, maths, physcology and what not. The fools.

    SO YET AGAIN  BAD BEAT CITY I HAD KK RIASED 3X ONE CALLERTHE FLOP KJA I RAISE HALF POT HE CALLS TURN 3 I BET POT HE CALLS RIVER  3 I CHECK HE CHECKS HE HAS A3. I THINK THE problem IS THAT PEEPS DONT  KNOW THERE card VALUE OR HOW TO PLAY in position i see peeps  play cards like a3 k5 q7 j4 utg calling raises and keep calling and if they hit one card all be it a low card on a high card board they will still call you down.
