His quote "i have to hate my opponents to be able to play against them" was easy for me last night. I played with some miserable sons of bitches, and it was easy to play hard against them.
It's nice winning their money, but there's nothing worse than playing poker with a bunch of jealous, sore losing, gamblers.
Anyway, I'm reading Barry Greenstein's book, and it made me want to post. |

On the other hand, have you ever played a friendly game with family and friends for like 5$ buy in winner take all? It's pretty awful having to make plays on my little brother who is like 15 when i just wanna say "Don't call man you're gonna bust out i have a hand this time."
I have actually checked a flopped full house on the river against a good friend when i had already taken half his stack on the flop/turn in the first hand of a 10$ buy in tournament, just because i felt bad and didn't want to see him leave on the first hand. Thats why i like playing in the internet  |

yea in little piss ant tournaments like $5-10 buyin among a few friends that are still learning straights lose to flushes, I don't play hard at all really, they won't let me anyways (they call everything).
I once bluffed a girl on the river and she called me with K high, and won, then she said "oh, wow, i didnt expect that"
I can gamble for a good time with people who enjoy it, when the stakes are low enough, but there definitely is a line drawn when it's time to switch on your "A" game. |

Mike Caro says, "...to always compliment your poor players, you wouldn't want them to take the initiative to get any better, would you?"
I understand what you're saying, but their money goes into the bank just like the good players money. |
