Losing patience

I resolved myself to play the Carbon PO tourneys however it's just too boring for me... I can't see myself NOT getting bullied into spots since I play a lot of crummy hands, so I should prob quit while I'm ahead.

Good luck, PO! I don't see the point in losing over n' over just coz I'm supposed to play a certain way... :confused:

I get there's a mathematical reason NOT to play aggressive, especially since he had top pair, however you're all forgetting that this game is for FUN. If you don't expect luck to be a factor, and strive for it, you're gonna lose out. Getting pocket aces and winning tournaments loses it's appreciation, it's only the other ppl playing that will make the game exciting. So what if I'm tired of winning with 'made hands,' I like winning with rags...

Reasons to play rags:

i) Someone else's perspective get ranged, especially with any overcard race.
ii) It's fun to make ppl tilt.
iii) Mixed cards will always have only 30% chances of hitting, that goes to 0% once turn and river flop n' overpair, so chase chase, chase!!!
iv) Pocket pairs are rare.

Chasin' is fun:

well if your losing over and over and havent figured out why you shouldnt be playing trash constantly then maybe you need a LONG break from poker as this isnt bingo... but i can direct you to som,e bingo sites that give free money LOL

I guess it depends on how you find your fun. You say the game is for fun - that is fundamentally wrong. If you are approaching it as pure entertainment, then, yes, you will be regularly dominated by those who are trying to learn and apply skills. For me, the fun is not in playing garbage and getting lucky - it's learning how to play correctly, applying that knowledge, and seeing positive results in the long run.

"I get there's a mathematical reason NOT to play aggressive, especially since he had top pair, however you're all forgetting that this game is for FUN. If you don't expect luck to be a factor, and strive for it, you're gonna lose out"

the reason us winning regs dont expect luck to be a factor, is because our technical edge by far out wins the "luck factor"
aggressive poker=winning poker

sying you "like playing rag hands " is great for u bro... keep havin fun... we need recreational players having fun... obv

wow that really sucks , how in the world did a 6J go 4 it

at the end of the day people will play what they wanna play i just say nh and use the information for future reference

I swear that peoples reading and comprehension skills have hit an all time low.

u guys are delusional if u think its not for fun... there's no real ordeal to speak of... i don't understand why u'd think u'd be getting payed to do what exactly??? stay up at night n' not sleep?

Best advice ever gotten at a poker table: have FUN!

P.S. As my grandfather from the ol' country would say it's hell not to have work!

Nice hand, good luck and good game is all that needs to be said to the Jack Sixer.

i only called coz i was watching the hockey game n' it was a misclick then i seen the board had 3 clubs...

Well just keep playing J6 off and show us youe winnings after a month! And lets see the winnings from someone playing AA for a month and I bet I know who will win by a landslide!

Losing patience is detrimental to a good poker player. There are plenty of bad beats, long waits for good cards, and being bet out of a pot. In straight odds, on a ten man table - your chances are one in ten with the assumption you stay in each of the hands. Any tourney with a large pool of players requires patience.

standard

u gotta build up chips to give yourself the ability to overcome those beats in the tourney. that's something im still trying to learn

you n me both...I lost patients n found marijuana...It helps

it all comes and goes,frustrating as hell but eventually" the worm turns" and this begin to look up.just hope it happens soon

patience is a virtue you just gotta play your game and make sure that u play quality hands and let the donk donk off there chips

I came up with a conclusion: poker is not a game; it's not a sport; it's not a job---it's an art.

I WILL start using less aggression and use BRM!!!

I will post my winnings in a months time; ETA: Friday, December 13th, 2013.

patience can b a b!tch ! even best player lose patience, sometimes frustration gets the best of us:mad:

it sure does!! or try a glass of wine!! hard to have patience with so many donks!!

ALL right I'm gonna run my mouth even though I'M A newcomer .You want to play with rags you have to be able to play with an extreme amount of skill .You have to know who will fold to a c bet,who's tight who's loose,which guy is the bluffer.Your basically playing the other persons hand this style is best played from position,(example:on the button everyone checks ,after the river,put half pot bet in, even if you have nothing if you pick up the pot half the time you will be way ahead)

That's why I play no blind increases Sn'G however they get boring and I end up just playing higher blinds or different games. I WOULD like to play some MTT STT however I'm too aggressive.

you always lose long term when you play rags a lot.

keep swinging

what in the $$#$%% is j6 playing? I guess that's what you want a donkey unless he sucks out like that.

patience is harder in low limit games. to many people taking swings.

I feel that once you go higher in stakes, the ppl get scared or so... A lot more carefully played.

sick ass hand... rigged..

Not true. IMO they higher limits you play the worse the recreational player will play, simply because the money is relative to what you make or are used to spending
