What does "play at near-100% equity" even mean?

And yes, I realize you will respond with some unhelpful dick-ish remark, because that's your MO. Not sure why I am even asking.

44% equity in a 3-way all-in pot is pretty sweet.

Let me ask you guys a question. If someone makes a bad play but calls the villain a fish, don't I have the right to call the guy a fish on the forums?

I get the most infractions out of anyone, smh.

You want a higher spr vs weak opponents. We already play in 100bb cap games. The skill advantage is already low enough.
04-15-2012 , 01:43 PM
No, you don't. We're supposed to be here to help each other get better. So point out what he did wrong, make suggestions for the future, ask questions, etc.

And yes, we do generally want a higher SPR. But when someone gives you the opportunity to get it all-in against dominated hands preflop, you don't say no because you want a higher SPR ffs.

So why are you starting crap? How am I an ass? Is it because I just say what I think without sugarcoating it? Where am I disrespectful other than spots where I was disrespected first?

Yes, I consider a blanket statement without any reasoning that refute my thought out explanation as disrespect.

Lol, who are you again. Never heard of you.

You respond in the same condescending tone to everyone, in every thread since you started posting. I've keep out of it because it has never been directed toward me until recently. You see disrespect where there is none.

When I say "I can't think of situation where _____ is correct" default response of a normal poster is to point out said situation, in which case I can learn from my mistakes. However, your response is "Well that's too bad for you."

Seriously?

Chat thread is where the competent posters are. Plus poker is frustating post are really good to talk with him on. Plus anyone else who is a regular in here.

I'm whipped into shape, I need the forums, the forums don't need me apparently.

I thought it is pretty standard that nothing in poker is absolute...and different scenario and dynamic could result in very different answers.

If you agree with such statement, how could you make a statement that is essentially saying that the said scenario is absolute, that there is only one way of doing things?

With as little information that was provided, how on earth could you say that betting is always correct? I could come up with a scenario that makes betting less optimal than checking, but why would I need to do that?

Yes, I could probably choose to simply ignore it as if I would ignore a kid who just says "why" to every statement I make.

once again you resort to an ad hominem attack and make a post completely void of sophistication and intelligence. you are a bog standard troll and after being in this forum for like a week i can see that most everyone else agrees. the problem is, instead of you actually being aware of this and changing it, youve decided to continue under some desperate notion that you are some sort of 2+2 einstein. understanding what you are instead of what you think you are may help.

I mean I see these responses to my comments all the time:

once again instead of acknowledging your own trolling you transform it into a fault of someone elses. being totally delusional must be fun.

Did you guys know that its almost impossible to detect inflection in text? infact sometimes the things you want to say to someone cannot be said directly, but need to be paraphrased from how you would normally say it to accommidate for the lack of phyical communication!

Heres an example:

Origional text: "F*** U"

How it was taken: "F*** You"

How it should have been written: "Lol F*** You"

The difference is the "Lol" this replaces what would have otherwise been displayed in physical communication. It says "hey Im happy when saying F*** u." instead of plainly stating it which will for lack of better information, most likely be taken as a condecending slant.

Great game on guys if you like basketball.

And the only way you play for stacks in a limped pot is if you bet here.

The reason you can check QQ on a Q22 flush draw board isn't so much the fact that you have QQ, as much as it is because the situation wouldn't be in a limped pot, allowing you to stack off in 2 streets of betting if necessary. You would still be getting value from the same range of hands as you would on a board of 996 with 66....

...I can't think of a single realistic situation where checking would be a good
idea."

Here is what I had written in response to the hand history.

How is that even remotely similar to "Lol your line is soooooo horrid" or whatever you posted? Hell, I'm HOPING someone posts a good reason to check in an otherwise boring hand history.

Just spent an hour looking for my car keys.

My stupid cats somehow managed to move them from the computer desk to under my refrigerator (which is on a different floor).
