Playing the BoP Triple Shootout today...

[claudioxcore]

I mean... I said "second opinions on hands", I'm not saying "tell me how to play the hands" ... I'm saying, if I think I misplayed a hand, or I think I shoulda taken a different line, how could I have played it differently? Some on the spot analysis was all I was looking for.

[thadeas1]

na im not having it, you asked "while I'm playing, (not necessarily full on ghost)" this implies you want some sort of help maybe on hands you think you cant decide on yourself.

[claudioxcore]

Well then, you're ignorant. That's not what I was implying and I honestly could care less what you think.

[thadeas1]

I wouldn't expect anyone on this forum to care less about anything I have to say, im not in the in crowd, but what i will do is call out where I think something is wrong and that is what I have done, like it or not.

[claudioxcore]

I'm just saying your misinterpretation and ignorant responses are something to be frowned upon.

My request was equivalent to asking someone "Did I play that hand bad?" at your average home game.

But you blew it up into this unnecessary ordeal, and accused me of cheating.

So with all due respect sir, maybe you should think before you speak... or just ask questions... before you blatantly bash someone.

I'm pretty sure ghosting is not against stars rules (simply because they did allow multiple people to play on one account during previous PCA's), so I don't really see a problem against it.

[claudioxcore]

I'm pretty sure it isn't either... but it's irrelevant. It wasn't a ghosting request... I made it clear that I wasn't asking for a ghost, but people to critique hands they thought I may have misplayed.

[thadeas1]

First : Wes im not sure ghosting is against the rules either as it is really difficult for the sites to police or prove, but IMO as i stated before its wrong. What happens if im playing some $5 donkament and I get Mooreman1 or Stevie444 to ghost me? is that fair to the average $5 tourney player?

Second : claudio if you actually read your original post then you would understand how it comes across, you say you weren't asking for a ghost which is correct or in your own words "not necessarily full on ghost". Make me out to be the bad guy all you like and I dont care, at the end of the day you wanted realtime help as the hands played out and that is not right in my book, couldn't get away with it playing live so why should i tolerate it online?

[claudioxcore]

You basically just reiterated what I said ... "Not necessarily a full on ghost" implying, I don't want realtime opinions on the hand ... because, that would be a full on ghost. Wow, I don't know how much more clear I could make it in the OP that I wasn't looking for someone to make decisions for me... but you're right thadeas, no one should be allowed to analyze hands that I've played online. We should probably delete the Hand Discussion section of the forum while we're at it.

You're ignorant. I'm not making you out to be the bad guy, I'm making you out to be the narrow minded clueless guy.

[Fildy]

But it would have been okay to post on a forum and get a response that way?
The only difference is the speed at which the response comes so why should it matter? its essentially the same thing is it not?

Really at the end of the day you have no clue what he wanted. You only know what was typed into his message. Maybe the words didn't come out like he wanted them to, maybe they did. However you have no clue of his intent. Lots of people have a disconnect between what they think and what they can put on "paper". He stated he wanted second opinion on hands. Where did he mention he wanted the second opinion during the hand? I guess I don't see why you got your panties in a bunch over this.

Also there are many things you can't do live that you can do online and that makes none of them wrong.

Hmm, i have issues with this (but in a nice way)

People posts hands for analysis all the time, doing it via AIM with a ghost would be faster, but thats all.

As for getting good players to ghost you, surely if you think thats unfair then all the people paying $5 to enter a $5 tourney, and having JohnnyBax, PhilIvey, Mossified84 or someone joining would make it unfair to them too?

[Wes]

As long as it is allowed by the rules of the site, I would think it is fair. Sure there are some aspects of how online is regulated that I disagree with, but saying it is unfair for someone to utilize this option seems a little too haste on something to whine about. If you don't like, complain to the site and/or play somewhere else.
