This is obviously going to get a response, isn't it? One along the lines of "Don't tell me what I can and can't do, you cocksucking bitch". It's inevitable. If you don't like the advice I give, that's fine. Tear it to pieces like the intelligent wankers on this site do. But don't try to silence me, it'll have the opposite effect. And don't start copying my posts and saying "I didn't read it, but disregard it" and then try to tell me you're not being a dick, because that, my friend, is exactly what you're being. You've dereailed a thread that I didn't start in order to have another pop at me, which is really big of you. Well done.
Okay that's fine, I won't respond to any of your threads anymore. The thread wouldn't have derailed if you didn't respond to my post after dranger7070 came in and expanded upon what I said. It should have ended there, don't feel like you need to open your mouth about everything. I'm pretty sure you could have just read what dranger followed up with and accepted it but instead you must go on. I didn't intend to give the message of never posting your opinion again, but when you do give advice you need to construct it in a way that is sort of asking for clarification: i.e. use words like 'I think this because...' or 'this doesn't work because of this, but can someone clarify if my thinking is correct here?' That way you don't sound like you're preaching some holy advice you discovered within the very few hands you've played. It also will help other beginners understand that you aren't exactly sure about what you mean, so maybe they'll do a bit more thinking about the subject matter on their own and derive their own conclusions to post, instead of just seeing the advice, taking it, and not actually thinking about the logic behind any of the reasoning.
See, I wish you'd have just said this in the first place.

I'm not complaining that I'm getting critisised, it's just that it seems to take me losing my rag to get something constructive. You're right, I do need to think about my posts more. But you guys really need to think about your replies a little more too. If discussion like this are ugly and needless, then don't be fucking rude to people, it's really that simple. I could've left it, it's true. But I am tired of the way you guys speak to not just me, but to others too. The opening poster was called an idiot simply for not being that good at poker. There's just no need for it.

Stacks...

I think you missed my point. I don't mind if two or even three people call my raise when I have aces, but once we get to four I start to feel very vulnerable with aces, and I start to feel that instead of winning a big pot, I'm going to lose a big pot. While you might be able to make more money playing aces properly, maybe I can't. I was having some bad luck and losing big pots with them. I was losing money with aces because I was getting too many pre flop callers, that was the only logical reason for it. I'm not favourite against three hands. I might have the best hand out of the four of us, but hands like aces do not flop well often enough, they're not good multi way, in my experience. Cash rooms I'd rather be heads up with aces, ideally for all my money pre flop. I don't mind taking down blinds with them either.

But I'm not going to sit here and try and claim this is optimal, because it's obviously not. It just suits me to avoid multi-way confrontation with a hand that is expensive when it loses.

When I step up, I'll play aces differently. At 2nl, I'm shoving, because it makes life easier for me.



For the record, nothing I say is 100% fact. It's my opinion. I assume when I read other people's posts that I am reading their opinion, not fact.
