Re:Open rant to P5's
I think it would benefit the community if the mods would just delete all of the responses to HH's that don't in some way offer advice of some sort. Why post any HH's if the only responses you get are put downs. Maybe people will quit wasting their time flaming if they know it will just be deleted, then again it seems that flaming is the reason 99% of the posters are here :( EDIT: It would also help if posters would "set the stage" a bit for a HH(Give us their line of thinking, history with opponent, image, etc.). Many plays are so situational dependent that the HH is ...

Re:scare cards on turn on ftp... rigged?
Who doesn't know by now that online poker is rigged!'' I mean it is so obv that the sites go to great lengths to "set up" all of their unsuspecting players. I mean If I hold AK before the flop I should win every time right...unless someone has AA, because obv AK owns KK so that isn't even a considerstion.

Re:Fair chop for a coaching job...?
It may not be able to be monitored but it is simple cheating. And in this case the offender came on here and admitted it. It IS MA'ing. People may have played against said screen name and are now basically playing against angainst that name with another player behind it. Go look at the 50,000 pages of posts dealing with JJ and see how people feel about it. True, I'm sure it happens all the time and I will continue to play. But that doesn't mean I have to be OK with it. Especially when that person comes right out and admits it in public. It's cheating and any one who does, or ...

Re:Fair chop for a coaching job...?
Common does NOT make it ok. Can you imagine what the reaction would be if I posted something like..."So I had XXXXranked player over this weekend and it was awesome! He told me what to do the whole tournament and I took down the SUNDAY MILLION!!!!!! So, how much do you guys think I should give him'" It's cheating plain and simple. And this situation should be treated no different than any other cheating situation.

Guess no one else sees anything wrong with this huh' It's cheating and neither of them should get a cent. How many times have I made a bad read that a second pair of eyes might have saved me from...........People are flamed to no end on here for any hint of MAing or etc. and this is just OK' Pffft

Re:help a donk w/ 5-5 on the button w/ one limp and a raise in front - $3r on ftp
Unless BOTH you and the raiser are extremely deep stacked, this is a fold 100% of the time. In that rare occasion it would be worth flatting and hoping the raiser has a big enough hand to stack off if you flop good. In this situation you are risking way too much to flat looking for a set. You will rarely hit, and even if you do, will the initial raiser pay you off''''' I would need an extremely strong read to 3 bet here. Your stack is still almost 30 BB's deep. There should be much better spots to get chips before you start to get short. I would have to disagree with your assessment of ...

Re:Formula for winning an online tourney - revealed.
Betting 4x or 5x preflop! HA! This does nothing but make you lose more chips when some one comes over the top or you miss the flop. I love it when "that guy" is at my table. He is the one I'm looking to go after. If iI have a hand in position you think an extra blind will keep me out! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. On top of that, the donkeys don't care how much you bet, they only see their own cards!

Re:Help A Brotha Out?
You need to learn the cardinal sin of Sng play is bubbling. I so often see these morons taking chances with average hands when one guy has 6 BB's. If you aren't the shortstack, you should really tighten up. Give the guy a chance to bust. If you are the big stack and the 2nd 3rd guys seem solid, attack them. They will need a big hand to play(only if they aren't the morons). The other big leak i see often is people not realizing when they are in push fold mode. When you are short and pick up a hand sometimes a lot of the value comes from seeing all 5 cards. I so often see some one ...

Re(5): UB bet the pot button
It is a tool for amateurs and fools. It does allow them to disguise their hands a bit, because they never have to think about how much to bet. If they think they have the best hand, they hit the bet pot button. It is the reason that I refuse to play at UB.
