The Move

Easy there.... I love the smack talk part of this post, but the rest is a bit overboard.

Just trying to head things off here before they spin out of control like has happened with other people in the past.

Yes I did go overboard. Heat of the moment. He is the last person that should be making those remarks like you said. I remember a hand where you (Brian) called down big bets with a gutshot straight draw to the river, hit your straight to pick up a huge pot. Then you post the HH on here and sincerely asked if people thought you made the right play or not. That's comedy. I'd like to think my post isn't quite as obvious a play as that one was. From the responses I've gotten (from people who know what they are talking about), my "move" pretty much sucks but that's cool. I'm still learning/improving my game. I don't usually start strategy threads in this forum (or any thread for that matter). This being why. Majority of people have to be a smart ass to amuse themselves and others instead of just typing an honest response. If you are a good player do you have to be an ass about questions that are simple for you, but maybe not as simple for others? Remember, you were a beginning player once as well. Did you enjoy people trying to make you look stupid when you had a question?

look, I was making a joke. Nothing personal about you, and the hand you are talking about was like 4 months into the game for me of course I didnt have a clue if it was a good play. Now I know it was terrible play oh well I was new give me a break. Need to learn how to take a joke, people make them about me all the time. I only go off on people when the jokes get personal, I know I have made stupid plays in the past and I have tried to learn from them.

OK. Sorry about getting personal. It's in the past now as far as I'm concerned. I easily forget and like to move on when it comes to shit like this. I hope you and others feel the same.

I still hope I get you in the first round when you decide to play the tourney.

works for me, as for the torney, I really cant make that commitment to play. With Gavin's surgery comming up I have no idea what is gonna happen next 2 weeks and dont want to pull a no-show 1st round and give someone a free win. If you find a site though that does free HU games I would be happy to play, for fun of course.

tell you what has them for free and I will be willing to play any time just let me know.

I do have Bugsys Club downloaded, lets do it. I won't be able to do it until 9pm, when my son Gavin (great name) goes to bed. That's 9pm pacific I believe. I"m in Oregon just moved from Alaska so I dont know the name of the timezone and I don't feel like looking it up.
