> I love how you talk about this “new” style of poker that has suddenly happened but you did not elaborate on it at all. Poker has not changed at all. The tighter the table, the looesr you play, the looser the table, the tighter you play. I love how you cited a bunch of books I’ve never read.

> Boring play like the pros? Most pros are LAG players. I would hardly call that style boring. If you think shorter blinds and higher blinds in relation to chip stack favors better players you suck at poker. Basically what I’m saying is, I would love for you (the crappier player) to stick around in the tournament longer and play a lot of hands because that means the % of hands the good players (such as myself) have the opportunity to win go up. You have no grasp over poker. End of discussion.

> And to the OP: If you’re going to play tournaments, play A LOT. It is very easy to get discouraged or encouraged (and then discouraged) if you only play a few tournaments. The ROI swings you will have with just playing a few can be very discouraging, but if you are a good player the ROI will even out in the long run. So basically, if you’re going to play tournaments, stick to them and don’t look back good or bad.

Ya the point of the thread was to see if anyone wanted to get together once or twice a week for fun games like $20-30 dollar buyins. Ya dumbass, its not a way to make a living on poker or looking for advice. Its something social and fun to play in tourneys than the typical cash games at the casino since the tourneys they have there do not fit in my schedule. I play sundays there in the $225 buyin tourney for real cash. Usually you can jump in the saturday $25 and win a spot and end up pretty profitable.

When you grow up, maybe you can stop talking shit and show up to the big boy casino. Now be quiet and let the adults talk.
