Carroters has a spectacular aura aboutCarroters has a spectacular aura about
 I'm going to share with y'all 2 terrible plays from retarded donks giving me their stacks for no apparent reason. These occurred today within 10 minutes of each other. I hope that for those of you playing 2, 5 or 10NL can take happiness in what these hands demonstrate:

Even when you move up to 20NL donks are still everywhere and will always just give you all their monies and keep you rolled while you're becoming awesome.

So when you're confused about 3 bet ranges, running bad or ashamed of how you played your JJ on the Q 6 3 board; take some inspiration from the fact that even while you're working on your game and posting like mad on FTR to try to improve, these guys will always be around to give you the handouts you'll need to do so! Enjoy.

I don't think you understand why the other guy went all in on both these hands or how lucky you were.

You played the hands terribly. 1. You should never bet the flop when he is going to anyway cos he raised and when you have a trips set. You could scare him away and win nothing and you deserve to win nothing. In no 2 you went all in with pokat aces and the viallain will read this as a bluff because noone in their right mind would have play the aces like this way.

YOU NEED TO CHECK WITH STRONG HANDS UNTIL THEY MAKE SOMETHING

VILLAINS WERE CORRECT IN MAKING CALLS BASED ON YOUY PLAYS

PLAYERS BOAST ABOUT GETTING GOOD RESULTS AND DONT REALISE HOW BAD THEY PLAYED THEIR HANDS.

This is the second terrible strategy post I've seen you make. Either quit trolling cause it confuses beginners genuinely trying to learn, or develop a more humble attitude and please try to learn before asserting such garbage so confidently.

With the caps spam I'm leaning towards troll.

You asked me the other day if I thought the Stars $25NL game was soft and I didn't answer you. I've been playing off a massive heater on Bodog for about two weeks. Actually, I can't decide if it's a heater, or if the games are just that soft. I'm routinely running into plays just like in OP at least a couple of times every session.

The way things are going right now, I won't be back over on Stars for a while.

 Otter is obviously a gimmick I'm not sure how some of you believe him. I sure hope no one does but it is the BC. Maybe he's teaching a lesson on levelling?

On merge many 200 NL tables have vpip 60% 40BB pots. Must be fun to play them, just need some padding first.

Otter, I wont even bother defending the way I played either of these hands to you since this wasn't a technical post. However, you are so wrong that it is simply absurd (if real person not troll.) Please keep voicing your opinion though because it is very entertaining and brightens up my wanders through FTR!
