My Poker professional friend judges his other friends based on their skills at poker
Just an irritating conversation. I can't talk back to him, or he'll jump down my throat, or he'll block me for months at a time or threaten to quit being my friend at all, for not being good at poker and doing homework on my game. He's ultimately very controlling, almost like a Drill Instructor, and sometimes after talking to him, pardon my french, but I just fucking hate poker.
The guy has recently been doing like 40 hours of poker homework a week and 20 hours of play. He plays 200nl on Bovada, and I play 25nl mostly, and 1 table of 50nl on Bovada.
I have another friend, who's a lot more understanding, or I dunno, he doesn't make me hate the game as much as this guy is capable of from time to time. It's like two polar opposite personalities.
[8:27:47 PM] m: everyone check calls as the PFR now days man
[8:27:55 PM] m: it is crazy how many guys are doing it now
[8:27:59 PM] m: I am like wtf?
[8:39:28 PM] J: I dunno I don't feel playing, I made $33 in 21 hands but I had to TOTALLY SMASH THE BOARD 3 different times to make it happen. Anyways as to your other statement, how do you intend to exploit this population read of yours?
[8:39:52 PM] m: depends
[8:40:12 PM] m: I will value bet more thin for 3 streets
[8:40:38 PM] J: if they're check calling and floating loose, yea I could see that
[8:40:57 PM] J: it's hard to call a 2nd barrel, let alone a 3rd when u got a mediocre hand
[8:41:22 PM] m: naw they will call
[8:41:30 PM] m: they will check KK on A high flops
[8:41:44 PM] J: I check KK oop but bet KK on A high flops IP
[8:42:01 PM] m: that is bad
[8:42:08 PM] J: mars told me that was the line I should take
[8:42:21 PM] m: you might as well check IP also
[8:42:40 PM] m: I would rather bet oop and check IP
[8:42:42 PM] J: so it's still a Bluff catcher regardless if it's IP or OOP
[8:42:51 PM] m: but u never do your own thinking abou poker
[8:43:00 PM] m: and poker will always be a struggle for you
[8:43:19 PM] m: 2yea but IP you can play a 2 street game
[8:43:28 PM] m: and oop you have to play 3 streets idiot
[8:43:41 PM] m: think about what you say before you say it
[8:43:43 PM] J: well I'm lucky to have you as a friend, in that you don't judge your friends based on their poker skills
^this comment I was being very sarcastic
[8:44:01 PM] m: that is annoying when you try to act like being IP should be played like your oop
I might play tonight, I don't know right now, if I'm total trash at poker according to him, why should I even play at all?
