Brians Downfall (i knew it would happen)

[BrianSwa]

how come is it lou that everyone has something constructive to say then you come in with your like 1-3 liner insults. Im starting to think jackass man might be onto something when he posts about you, I respect you as a poker player but your attitude needs some major adjustment. But hey we are talking to the great and powerful Lou who would never lose a whole stack in a sitting right?

Retard.

I wasn't even replying to you. I was talking about someone else's buyin requirement for a $1/2 LHE game. $100 is excessive. By those requirements, he buys into a $2/4 game w/ $200. What? If you bought into a $2/4 game w/ $200 at the casino, you would be laughed at.

If you're an overly-aggressive player, then you'll need alot of ammo. But you're not that player. Shit, you don't raise pre-flop!

And I will CONTINUE to support the notion that if you lose $100 at a $1/2 game, you REALLY need to reevaluate what the hell you're doing so wrong. I fully understand downswings, but c'mon: 50BB in one sitting... at LIMIT? LOL. Sometimes you just gotta tell yourself, "Take up chess."

The reason I didn't reply to this thread is because you seem surprised you lost. "Oh i lost all my money i dont understand it (i knew it would happen) these players suck, they hit all their draws."

Yet...again, you don't like to pre-flop raise. What do you expect to happen when you play the wrong way?

I also find it funny that you want to deposit - what was it - $300? And play $2/4 or $3/6. Good luck, buddy. Can't wait for those bad beat stories.

And finally, don't get snippy w/ me. I've eased up a bit on pointing out the stupidity of your posts. You still can't spell, use correct grammar, or understand anything about sentence structure. Maybe you should be a poker dealer.

im done on here you have completley ruined this forum for me and im sure thats why alot of people dont come around here anymore also. You played with me for 30 minutes you have no idea how I play, I actully raise alot pre-flop and I really could care less what you think because I would never take advice from someone like you. But hey you win buddie ill find another forum where the people are nicer, everyone on here is cool as hell except for you but all it takes is one to ruin a forum and I guess your that one here. Have fun dont see you being around here to long anyway moron. bye.

Noooo, if you leave then you'll make baby jesus cry .

You can't leave now, man. There's so much more poker to talk about.

Cheers,

Gutzz

PS. That post by Lou was pretty harsh. It stung me!

[BrianSwa]

I just e-mailed TP regarding it if there is some way I can block his posts then ill be happy to stay since I enjoy talking to you all. BTW ive made 3 dollars in a .05/.10 game yippie hehehe, its a start im trying to apply everything you all talked about raising in position and all. Im actully suprised it works in this low level but ive chased some people out of pots they would of won. Thanks again guys for all the help, the fact of the matter is even though Lou conciders me a fish I dont, true im not winning player online but im getting better every time I play and I see improvment in my play. Just like Chip says there are holes to be filled in my game, maybe a little and maybe alot. Lou making people feel like shit because they make a play mistake isnt helping them improve at all and a forum in my eyes is supposed to be here to help you.

Brian,

In your UserCP on the left side there is a link that says "Manage Buddy/Ignore Lists". You can click on that and enter peoples names and their posts will be blocked when you read a thread. You can still see that they posted, just not the post. It does get a little wierd when someone replies to them, and you're like WTF are they talking about, but at least you don't have to read posts you don't want to.

As far as what's happening with you, here's what I think. Please note I don't know you, have never seen you play or anything. I'm just going on what I've read here because some of it is similar to what I went through/am going through.

It sounds to me like you're extremely results-driven. In addition, it sounds like you're looking to get rich quick. This is a problem that I REALLY struggle with. It's hard to see all of these people with multiple thousands of dollars in their bankroll, and you've got $100. It's just natural to want to get up to their level as quickly as possible. I have to fight myself daily to not try a higher level than my bankroll can handle, just because I think today is my day and I'm going to make a killing. It doesn't happen that way.

Some of the best advice I've been given involves thinking in terms of big bets/100 hands. Winning a $2.50 pot at $.50/$1.00 doesn't really excite me too much. But that's 1.5 big bets in one hand. Looking at it that way makes it seem much more significant. It's hard to do, but once that part of it sinks in, at least for me, I've noticed that poker is much more gratifying.

Again, I don't know much about you or your play. It just looks like your situation is alot like mine up until VERY recently.

thanks for the comments and letting me know about the block feature, it will solve alot of problems. Totally agree with you, thanks again.

[Aequitas58]

Let's see what brought this up.

1. You complain to others how you lost.
2. People give you comments, you go back and forth with some people...
3. I comment on someone else's buyin for a $1/2 game.
4. I guess you think, at this point, I'm making fun of you?
5. You get cocky w/ me.
6. I come right back at you.
7. "You're done."
8. No wait - you're not.

I have no problems leaving you alone... and I WAS leaving you alone for the last week. Don't be an asshole to me and then expect me to take it. I will reply, and it will be more harsh than you expect.

G'luck w/ the block feature.

LOL.

We've heard this before.
