This should ruin Kotkis's (from 2+2) PokerTracker HU stats.

I'm asking seriously:

Is this supposed to be funny and I don't get it, or it is just poorly written and I don't get it, or was Brian too lazy to click on the attachment like usual and he's just spouting off nonsense? Or maybe some combination of the above....?

Or maybe it's just more of this sort of useless post count inflating humor:
Then again, maybe I just don't have the same sense of humor as everyone else, and you guys all doubled over with laughter when reading these posts. Somehow I doubt it, but you never know.

P.S. Back on topic: nh, JD.

[BrianSwa]

its called sarcasim to the obvious hand there tp. Seriously lighten up slick, by the way talkingpoker what a dumb handle for a forum, who let this guy become a member anyway? someone call admin ban this guy!!


I mean I know I suck at poker but how could you think anything I said in this thread was serious?

[Aequitas58]

What's the matter... you can't appreciate GOLD when you see it?

JD, I would be interested in getting your honest opinion here. Obviously this is a horrible play. I am constantly amazed at some of the horrible play/players that some of you big timers post about. But do you think that alot of it is just that they are fish, or is it more that you tilt people, as you stated in OP. Meaning, do you think this guy (and many others), are really that bad? Or is it more from the cumulative effect of you playing LAGy, check-raising alot, showing bluffs etc.? Do you think alot of these donks, if they look back on plays similar to this, are wondering why they would make such a play?
Or again is it just simply that the world is filled with fish?
TP, boobie, etc. chime in too please.

I think it's a combination. Typically (say, 90% of the time), the donks I run into in 6 max games are just donks. But playing Heads Up like this, I think you can most definitely tilt your opponent and get him to hand you his stack like this.

[Boobie Lover]

I don't know if you can assume this is such a horrible play. Perhaps the way JD played the hand made the villain to believe that it was unlikely for JD to have an ace or better in the hand and that this bet on the end would work enough times for this play to be profitable. Although it looks retarded when JD has a monster doesn't mean that it is necessarily a donk play.

Everyone plays a hand or several hands badly from time to time. I'm sure if I posted one of my many moronic hands you would instantly try to track me down and hunt for me to take money away from me. Just because you saw one hand in a HU match that made the villain look dumb doesn't mean that this person is a bad player.

[JDMcNugent7]

I agree its a combination. I don't mean tilting people by talking, I guess just aggrovating people and outplaying them, especially heads up, that leads to tilt.
Also, this guy is pretty solid HU I guess, he's not horrible by any means and I'm pretty sure hes a big winner overall. This hand looks like he played it terrible, but he had alot of reason to push if he put me on a air or a PP less than tens.
