The point is if i say anything constructive, im helping. Im not trying to make out im a genius at poker, but i do know all the maths behind it.
The same thing occured when calling further preflop raises or shoves by IMO the tightest player at the table with AJ and QJ.
If you wanna mess about then just do it, im all for that. Ive often gotten into bets with people and shoved blind for fun and whatever, but if your normal game involves these kinds of plays, then you will lose. It is a fact. You may get lucky sometimes, but over time, you will lose. It is undenyable.
The way you can then say "its all about who is head on the river" is just rubbish. Its another way of saying "Im here to gamble". Which is fine, as long as you know your doing it.
The reasoning people have for not reading anything is insane. "I play for fun", "I like A6", "It was suited" etc.
Then i got criticized for showing AK clubs to a 4x BB raise, and a caller.....
Can any single person say why my play was bad? I know both opponents, i knew what their ranges for their hands were. Kaci i had spot on, as targetguy will vouch, as on MSN i said "I bet she has AJ", and Navuta i had on AQ (he had AK off). So IMO my play was perfect. I got it in as a huge favourite, and i lose to AJ. Which is fine, it happens.
But in the end it all comes down to ego. You might think im arrogant with this post or what i said, but all i was doing was arguing as to why you should know your behind e.t.c, and if you can take what i say and turn it into something constructive, great!!!
Just look at some of the hand analysis threads. People post hands, it gets criticized or commented on by several people. The origional poster should then think, "hmm, i see what i did", and change it, and win more.
The difference between losing and winning is slim.
Im not gonna ask for backup, but i know at least 9 people on here who have improved dramatically from reading things myself, cowboy, and many MANY others have written.
So once again, ill say this - If your hving fun, awesome. Good for you. But why not have fun and win some money at the same time???
And as for criticizing my play, if you want to comment, make a thread about it. Maybe itll get some interesting discussion. If ive done something wrong ill be the first to learn from it.
