Don't Be That Guy

"OMFG! How could you make such a stupid play!?"

"Another idiot gets lucky!"

****ing moron!

Etc.

All poker players are familiar with the chat box chastising that happens during online poker play. And occasionally, the person doing it may even be you.

The truth is though. Berating your opponents cost you money!

Look, no poker player ever plays perfectly. Even Phil Ivey once stated that he had never played a perfect session. As is often said; "Poker is a game of incomplete information". Even the best players err or have lapses in judgment.

That said, sometimes what look like mistakes are actually done intentionally to help create a more profitable table image. I personally have no trouble throwing away my first buy-in making loose calls or showing down light to create an image that will get me paid off time and time again.

But what happens when you start berating the average opponent or opponents for their mistakes? They either tighten up, or leave. The exact opposite desired result. You want players that are playing poorly or tilting to continue to do so. Calling them out does not achieve this. In fact, what often happens is that not only does the offending player tighten up, the entire table does, not wanting to risk being publicly flogged for their errors.

As a therapist, I understand that the psychological need for retribution, but, the satisfaction of this desire does nothing to help satisfy one's other desire. The desire to make money! All it does is create a nit-style, less profitable, poker environment. Not an optimal result.

So, the next time you feel the need to call someone out for their play, remember two things.

1. They know they made a mistake.

2. It will cost you money to tell them so.

Trophies and Thongs

As you know, I'm a big fan of girls in thongs and also of adding trophies to my trophy room. So, because it is so much cleaner and easier, I've moved my Trophy Room and Thongs of the Day to QAsRevenge.com.

So, stop by and see all the players felted by me this month and then check out some of the girls in thongs. What could be better?

Good luck and don't suck,

Time For More Trophies

Well, October is over and it's time to start refilling the Trophy Room. I couldn't decide whether to just keep adding them or just purge and refill. I opted for the latter, but did leave the names of all the players I felted in October in the Trophy Room at QAsRevenge.com. You can check to see if you were one of them.

Working on turning the aggression up a notch in my Omaha game right now. I've played long enough to master the ABC style and can consistently grind out a profit. Now it's time to begin taking my game up a level. Should be fun!

As always, new pictures of girls in thongs in the Thongs Of The Day post!

Good luck and don't suck,
