Not what people like to hear …but …

the ring games have got worse,more all ins and complete donk play.Now i witness the same in the tourneys,especially in the mini's.I think now we play the player more than the cards and true enough we play the two same cards differently..its about position play,raises,reraises,bingo..this is all part of the strategic play we all make..but have seen so much stupidity and complete donk play in tourneys with people going all in with total crap in hope to give a bad beat..its unreal.think its more personal than anything else.good luck to them as the odds dont favour them in the long run but we also can lose to these donk plays..and it does happen to all of us..i completely agree with Xtreem on what his thread states and really telling anyone on a chat as to how can you even call the hand just invites trouble.Not here to name players but seriously some of them are so proud of thier donk call made but looking at thier achievements on the site its pretty clear as to why they are not even in the top 20 or 30 players in terms of points or medals.they would never make it there inspite of them playing so often.
I personally love to have a great sit n go with the friends we play with in the tourneys...very often the tourneys are cancelled and we plan a sit n go instantly..we get a nice bunch of 6 players..kingpete,kay,bobble,Deb,Maggie,SS,Yeo...w e have a great game...total complete poker..(many other serious players..above just to name a few)..better than playing donkey kong in the rings..which is a complete joke..may be fun sometimes for me to just play like a donk with them as no element of seriousness involved whatsoever.
Its frustrating Xtreem i know it..felt it..nevertheless they wont change,I deal with it as found some really nice people here to play with and these donk/bingo players really just create a small hinderance but overall one could still get a great game...90% of the times you wont see them on the final table..some never make it at all...history shows and proves that,idiotic play cant last in terms of consistency..
Great thread X..hope we get more "players"..

like i said player seem to think its real money! its only a game i'm sad that people think i should play there way, if we all play alike that's not fun then you know my game, glad to see how people feel... its on now! this chip city over here..... when im not working ill be with u-all like a upset stomach. as far as [real players] i haven't seen one! not on this site.... most of the time i beat myself out. do u know why? cause if my hand is good you can see it.... but its going to cost u to see it. if u win i'm ok with that. i stood by my hand.people posting donk/ all-ins yep if i fill like that needed to be done at that time we all do it so please dont thow rock and hide your hand thats not cool.maybe u guys should go to limit rooms because now we are attach at the hip.if u win ill be back hehe much love heaters!

many real players here Shawn,including yourself..i can definetely rattle out 15 real good players,been playing the tourneys for exactly a year and have some people really playing out of thier wits and with caution and with the intent of winning the tourney with some very good plays...i think a lot of us play the tourneys like its a real money tourney,nothing wrong with that..its a great game at the end of the day..we make our choices to play or not..its the whole gambit-the people,the game...that makes this a good community..

like i said player seem to think its real money

i think this comment is part of the problem. now im not calling anyone a bad player.

i think 90% of people join free poker sites to get a better understanding the game i know i did. knew the basics but wanted to improve. mostly to beat my friends in live games. on the whole my game has improved ten fold from when i joined op66 back on the first script. but im always looking for improvements. how can i improve my game if im not treating play chips like i would a game with a £100 buy in? if i dont care and call what i please what am i really learning? that some times bad play pays.

I'm sorry if I offended you, but I have no idea what you are talking about. but gees, you sure are mad. it seems someone told you I said somthing about your avatar? dont remember, sorry. I am not saying I didnt say it, I had stoped talking on the table for months then just resently started talking again. but I will say this, you are obviously upset for some reason....sorry. I dont mean this rude, but I hardely remember playing with you on tables. there are several names that sound like yours and I keep getting them mixed up as to whom is whom, again, sorry.
I have no problem what so ever of you posting what I said if you have the chat log. I know the line and dont cross it. I know I can be abrasive at times but dont name call except using the word idiot --- and even then I talk about players in general, not any one person. I honestly dont mean do downplay your anger.. again...sorry...but I just dont know what you are talking about.

Shawntwr21 - I tried to go to your profile and ask a question or two about what you were saying and applogize in private if I needed too. But I couldn't get to your page, not sure if it's because it's blocked or because I am on my iPad, some scripts the iPad wont go too. Anyway, I just wanted to make sure you were alright and heard me say that?.. although I don't remember the incident I will just take it at faith your feeling were hurt over something I had said and again say I am sorry.
