Got a haircut today and somehow found myself talking poker with the barber. He said he didn't like that in Vegas you're stuck at the table and can't leave if you're doing poorly. I told him that's just for tournaments -- there are cash games where you can leave at any time. This blew his mind. "So it's like a blackjack table?" I wonder how many fish go to poker rooms and the reason they don't leave cash games until they're broke is they think they can't.

Hope you all are well!

hi joker! happy october.

It's always good to see one of the 2p2 old-timers return to the forums. How's it been going, PJ?

awesome... closing one thread after another is not moderation or being a moderator... sorry I could not crack into your little club...pretty sure I narrowed down who is doing it....why not send a private note if you have some issues...

kind of ironic, I see a thread about a Boston trip, food pictures, zero about poker..... yet post a thread about lack of limit game in a state, and viola...closed, by an un named person that can....

and with 75% of posts complete jibber jabber, nice to be singled out.

keep up the good work keeping new limit players out of your cute little conversations....how many active posters out of over a hundred thousand 2&2 members actually post here....maybe this is why the Limit part of the forum is so dead....

.. amazingly arrogant...can't even send along your name at who is nuking the thread...even asked a higher up.... last time back to back simple threads were posted..... could not give an answer....

y0....

it should be pretty obvious it was me considering I posted in the first one before I locked it

what's your issue?? how are you flying over so much simply junk posted and zeroing on me ??? 99% of every post was poker related. and btw.... several other threads were closed.........what gives

Puckster you are wrong. I can recall at least 4 threads you have started in this forum and they were all horrible and pointless and not helpful to anyone. You reply in strategy threads sometimes and that's all well and good, but you should be banned from starting new topics imo

history shows Death Donkey has started 2 threads in 2014....so obviously you are a follower and not a leader.

Can you illustrate how starting a thread about limit poker or lack of limit poker in another state is horrible. Does everyone out there that plays Limit Poker know or understand exactly how "limited" the Limit Poker game actually is ? I'm not an expert on the availability of games but I'm finding out. Maybe to other new players, or new people to this forum, this is good information.

Both Florida threads shared what was available, and what an alternative to LIMIT PLAYERS may be if they are in that area or state.

...........not everyone has been on this forum for years and has seen all the topics, threads and hand break downs....

I demand to know who death donkey is following so I can follow too!

I think Leo Doc wine thread is both the best and most informative thread in any limit holdem forum. In fact, I think his thread and recommendations of some inexpensive wines has done more for my yearly income than any strategy thread posted on here. He gets a free pass to start a many non poker threads as he wants.

This guy and apparently 167 others.

I guess bakku already said it, that info is for the B&M forum probably. You seem to not get that people that post in this forum post hand questions from medium stakes limit holdem games, and then other people discuss the hand in question. Your threads are always trip reports, random story about some drunk fish, oh remember that time you played with mason? etc etc. Pointless rambling.

This is one of the few forums I probably read every thread, and when I see your name on a new topic I know there will be nothing worth reading. I don't know you from adam but if you are going to say that hey the moderation is unfair and you are getting a raw deal maybe you will listen when some random stranger tells you no, its actually just you.

Its funny you would mention how many threads I have started vs replying to others, I would think most people would see people that do a lot of replying and little starting their own topics to be useful to the community.

Puckster=Marston?

Ironically, if you wanted to know if there were any limit Holdem games in FL this forum and thread would have made great resources. But starting a thread that says nothing well says nothing.

If it makes you feel any better, Puckster, I was asked to do the Boston thread before making the trip.

Kind words, my friend. I appreciate them.

And the irony of the wine thread is that I didn't even start it. I did, however, decline Howard's suggestion to post one in OOT because that's not where my wine drinking pals go and, tbh, it's OOT.

Puckster- I think some of your threads would make perfectly fine and informative posts right here in the LC thread. Just a suggestion tho.

Donkey; this is not a forum limited to hand posting and discussion..... The exact title is
Medium Stakes Limit Discussions of medium stakes limit Texas Hold' Em

.... From Boston trip reports (which was good) to simple conversation, no real informative replys within threads, and conversation regarding (a basically dead game) Limit poker should be encouraged and not discouraged.

.... And while many members post pretty in depth discussion of hand posts, a recent look at your replys to threads lack any kind of information of substance, which rules you out as a person leading by example.

I don't know you, you could be the best guy and player ever, same for the mods here....... I again question discouraging ANY type of conversation/information regarding the all but extinct Limit game and players...

Very decent fellow and taste in good food ...

Johnny... ???? So a thread should have been started prior to trip asking about limit poker in Florida??? Or this type of questions are asked in low content? This is all so confusing; are the guidelines, rules and suggestions that new folks should know about before breaching anyone's valuable time here? Same with replies within threads; the majority of which are Seinfeld caliber "nothing& and add in qualified information?

Maybe some of the posters should click on their profiles, then view all posts......majority of replies are HOF material......

I think that most folks who want to know the current state of LHE in the Florida casinos would find a lot more information here. Most mid stakes players that visit this forum either already know that there aren't any games in FL or know enuf to find their information in the casino-specific forum that I linked.

I think part of the problem with creating a separate thread- as opposed to a post in another relevant thread- is that your Florida threads didn't really create any discussion. Simply stating, "I went to Florida and there weren't any limit games above 2/4" isn't really thread-worthy (imho obviously).

Also, characterizing your thread as a TR is a bit misleading, at least in terms of what most members would consider to be an interesting or well-written TR. If you're interested, here's a "best of" thread listing of what a consensus of folks consider to be high quality TRs.

Doc: thanks for the information, very informative and maybe the type of info that could have been PM from one of the people who can close threads, rather than just randomly nuking them without any informative suggestions...Thanks !!!!

We already tried to run off dr olson a few months ago, now once we get rid of DeathDonkey as well this forum can really flourish.

The best part about the whole thing is that Leo's Boston TR isn't even in this forum.

Death donkey and other good posters, please don't let people like this run you out of here. Lousy players like me greatly appreciate your input on the various hands other ppl post.

Neither is puckster's

I agree that the Florida post would be perfect for the low content thread. Maybe would have been nicer for the mods to just move it there instead of locking it.

A related but relevant thread might be something related to the prospects of bigger limit poker games getting started or returning to different markets in the US, with Florida as an example/possibility. That post alone didn't lend itself to discussion, as someone else pointed out above.
