Enough Said!

wouldnt it be easier to explain the hand...I sure would rather as I have a hard time making heads or tails of these descriptions like this...hand history or whatever screen shot that is

yes I have to agree.

yeah internet poker has finally broke me down!..ive had to take a break from playing..its just to much!...I was getting to angry when poker has always been a fun game to me..win or lose..i figured it was because I pretty much just played freerolls that I was getting called down by horrible cards just to have my opponent hit on the river so I deposited some $$ and started playing real money tourneys on BCP..well turns out nothing was different...and finally when my KK (that I pre flop raised 4 or 5 times the BB) was call by J5 and then after the flop I pushed and was called only to have his J5 hit a straight on the river that I blew up!..i knew I had to walk away for a little while...and I kinda don't blame the player..i blame the sites..players make calls like this because they know they will win more times then not...In my opinion internet poker has ruined texas holdem...I play live tourneys 2 to 3 times a week and I see ppl makes calls like that all the time now..the good thing is that they lose most of the time but there is that 1 or 2 times that they do hit and take out a much better player only to bust out a little while later...and im not saying im some great poker player but in the live tourneys I do play I finish in the money or win 70% of the time and online I lose all the time!...now these are only 15 to 18 player tourneys but still I win...I just cant get myself to call with a hand I know is not ahead...its just frustrating because I love the game of poker and these online poker sites and players are ruining it for me!...ok ok ill stop my ranting now..lol

Huh?

now that wuz a load ON my mind....the K3 enh

If you look these players up, they are by far losing players. If you look on your tracker and if you have a decent sample size (in other words, not 100 hands, lol), you will find that KK is winning as it should be in accordance to how its been paid. I, for one, almost always call with marginal hands when a relatively tight player makes a pf raise of 4-5x because it's evident that that have a big holding and if my marginal hand can hit hard, they are never folding KK, AA, etc, and that means a big pot for me. The people calling J5 os and then calling down with 2-3 outers will occasionally hit, but I assure you they are losing players overall.

Agreed. Plus the hands go by a lot faster online than live, so the beats seem to come more frequently, where in reality the game itself is just faster.

Just cannot win - if someone doesn't post the HH, they get flamed for not posting it. Honestly, it's probably in your own best interest to learn to read the HH because that's how you can go back and learn about your own leaks so you can fix them

Uh man I'm confused, can you just narrate what the heck is going on there, instead of posting that wall of text. I hate when you guys do this.

The hand history is much more accurate than someone explaining what happened.
Using a hand converter is better, but this is the next best thing imo.

reading all of that gave me a headache lol could of been explained differently

You guys really need to know how to read a hand history....sheesh! Essentially I raised with 99 pp and this fool didn't just call but re-raised all-in with k3 and won.

Lmao thats every hand on these freerolls aint it (see it all the time) :)

It doesn't surprise me that he called a bet post flop with nothing. Most players now are playing their facecards hoping to hit them at any point in the hand. It is sad.

I hate hand histories for this reason ...i cant read it lol atleast highlight the part where the player is a fool please lol

I am glad that bad players call my good hands with inferior cards. I love it even more when they call me down on marginal draws. It is painful when they hit their "miracle card", but I win most of my money against these donkeys. If they all played tight and TAG, I would have trouble beating the rake...learn to accept bad beats as the "cost of doing business". My pokerTracker tells me I win half my profit on KK and AA, so God bless the donks! They are my main source of income :)
