I'm doing pretty good

I still haven't decided if I'm actually a good poker player or if I'm pretty solid and there are just so many morons playing online that its easy to make money. Some days are really frustrating, the fishy calls and bad beats make me crazy but sometimes its just taking candy from a baby.

For whatever reason its easier for us to play properly. I have tons of friends who simply can not laydown their straight when they know someone has a flush etc. Plus, poker can be really mentally exhausting if you are playing many hours a day, not everyone is cut out for it.

I think there are lots of players that really do believe "its been heads 8 times in a row , its bound to be heads!"

Playing against moneymaker and fossilman was very very educational.
They wait and wait and then attack and attack.
They work out what type of player you are.
What cards you go on.What peice of the pot makes you stay in.What size of bet you will call ,what makes you fold ,when you have the nuts , how you play them ..etc etc..
You can see them doing it.

They also said at the table that nowadays because of who they are they have had to adjust there game as people fuck with them more lol

I am fortunate in mind set that I never really get pissy or stressy over bad beats. I smile and wait.

I get more pissy over the "stupid beats". If I push with AK, someone calls with KK, I catch and A they catch a K Im not pissed. If I push with AA and someone calls me with A5 and makes a low straight I want to kill someone. Im having seriously emotional problems now that party pokers chat is disabled. I can't even heckle when I get jacked now!

I find it fascinating to read all this. Basically, I don't understand a bloody word of it, but the enthusiasm is still contagious.

You should try play money for a while, little gits playing 3 9 and picking up lucky wins with cards they should have folded.... hmm... I'll rephrase that, I should try playing for real money again...
