Want advice from an experienced winning player?
I've noticed on several questions on 2+2 forums, there tends to be a lot of people answering who aren't really experienced or don't really know what they're talking about.
You often get short answers like "snap call" "easy fold" "easy shove" without any explanation. And very often, they're generally the wrong move.
I've played texas hold'em on and off for a few years now, and to date have NEVER lost money at it. (Went below my initial investment)
I'd answer any questions you have in this thread, and will explain to you why it's the correct move. That is the difference between someone who actually knows poker, and just some random possible losing player giving you an answer.
And if I don't know enough to answer, I'll tell you. No poker player knows everything, and those who act like they do often are giving wrong advice.
Basically this is a thread for beginning players to ask questions without the 'noise' they often get from other threads.

From your replies to threads so far it shows you are a beginner. Not saying you are spam but you obv think you are really really good when you arent good at all. This is a common trait in beginners.

That is fair. I don't think I'm really good actually, but I do think I'm better than the average player.
There's a saying lurking around that 90% of people lose money at poker, only 10% actually profit. Meaning it's not that hard (in a way) to be better than the average player.
I'm curious though, from your post you're saying you disagree with some of my replies? Which ones and why?

So you lose less money than about 50 percent of poker players but more money than another approximately 40 percent of them as well as the 10 percent who win, right?

Would you agree that the 10% of players that are winning players tend to spend time educating themselves and visit forums read books and regularly contribute to discussions like this. Do you understand that you came to a forum with less than .01% of all poker players and a large supply of professional players actually making a living playing this game. The 90% that you think you are better than will never come to a poker forum or read a poker book so I don't see why you would think you have something to offer as opposed to learn from FTR. It's good that you learned about 2+2 though.
