    If you feel you have one everytime you play, explain your edge, or if you feel there is very little edge, explain why as well.

    Why, then I lose that edge, assuming I was right in the first place to think that I actually have this aforementioned "edge"'?

    Almost as brilliant as this question: What would other players notes say about you?

    My primary edge is playing awful. By rasing into a lot of pots I don't belong in, then flatting my way into a few gut-shots, backdoors, 2 pair and sets, I establish a table image of somebody you want to avoid. Somebodyyou know is a complete calling station, so you are forced to make value bets. And, because I raise into so many pots with garbage you can't really call me, because you have no idea what I have and I make it expensive for you to find out, or I make you tell me what you have first. So, by playing like a complete maniac, I confuse and tilt my opponents while all the while minipulatiing the pot odds in my favor. My primary goal is to get a lot of small blinds folded to me. That's when I know I'm playing hot. When i do have the goods, it's usually easy to get the chips into the pot. The donwside to this strategy is neg ROI and being called a donkey, but I feel free, and when I do suck out I also feel lucky, and I'm thoroughly entertained by the players who don't undrestand they need me more than they realize. GL playah....

    I like the Zooropa Edge, when he first started wearing beanies and round sunglasses.
