Playing BINGO

[Xtreem1]

Players claim that I play bingo. All I can say to this is yup, I do. I believe that any player worth their salt at poker should have several playing styles in their arsenal, if you play just one style you are easy pickings. At time I play tight aggressive at time lose aggressive at times like a rock and at times bingo. I also attempt to put the table on tilt sometimes, and sometimes I am playing on tilt other times I am just having fun and playing like a total donkey. With all these combinations and switching between them I believe that I am a better opponent. I try to assess the table and players and styles and play in a way that wins. I sometimes do great at this….sometimes terrible. I think that’s what poker is (at least in part) about changing it up keeping the others guessing.
I have had many people call me names while playing poker, some good and some not so good. I remain quiet while on the table because I disagree with many of the statements made like well played or nice hand when, in my opinion it was not a nice hand …it just got lucky as *&$% or it was not well played it was horribly played…they in no way maximized their winnings and usually just got lucky. I think that it is best I just remain quiet and not share these things at the table so rather than comment once in a while I just remain quiet. Also, I honestly believe that many times it is very hurtful to the guy that just lost with pocket aces to an all in against the 7/2 off suit when people say well played or nice hand. Sure it is nice to say that…I just think many times it’s better to not say anything out of respect to the loser of the hand. With all that being said I do wish others luck at the table, although I will ALWAYS believe it is a game of skill and I do hope others have fun while playing and just enjoy the game and challenge.


P.S. - I will start my I love Arezzo thread another day – For now I’ll just say she is a great person with honorable poker skills.

I kind of agree with you there

I have had many people call me names while playing poker, some good and some not so good.

Don't know you so can't comment on your play but agree with alot in your post. Its nice to say nh, wp ect...But I will not say wp if you get lucky and hit on the turn or river...fair play but not well played..also when someone raises and everyone folds how can you say nh..the person may well have a crap hand.n1 or wp maybe. Poker is a game of skill but unlike other games the most skilled player does not always win...hence why I am not winning all the time

[SimonLGreedy]

Good for u X. People should play how they want. Sometimes I dont like it but hey... Its still a free world. Good luck to you on the tables.

[ChineseIrish]

I admire the fact that you switch between multiple styles, and have respect for other players on the table. However, I disagree with bingo play fundamentally.nice 1st post

There you go jimmy!

[jimggoldwing]

ok, chuck... you got me .... turns out he was on his 2nd post........ oh my........

[chuckster66]

OH my what?

[SweeneyTodd6]

Well X you know me played many many times together, I agree with you on the different sytles of play I do it myself to keep them guessing, now on the nh, wd, and wp when I get beat with crap what I really want to say I cant not just because its against the rules of the site, its because I dont like to disrespect anyone even they when dont derserve a nh or wp etc. I still say it out of respect not because it was a nh, wp, etc.

[Xtreem1]

btw - long time since I have seen this thread - thanks for all the responses. again - many great people here.

[jazzsinger1]

tend to agree with Sweeny here,just a matter of respect to say nh,wd,wp..etc on the tables even if beaten with crap..i normally would give the benefit of doubt to the player-maybe he read itdifferently or simply wanted to push his hand..nevertheless each one entitled to thier own play..
also know when they dont even see a hand they say nh instead of wp..thats just a matter of saying what comes easy to them..like in tourneys the application is also in cash games..if you have the chips you will tend to call or raise or reraise which normally you would not if you small stacked or you chip balance low..the fundamentals are the same...bottom line is whichever way one plays...we need to make our reads and play our hands the best way we can figure out..I just feel some of you very good players have a far superior arsenal in your armour..hence better players..Either you respect the call and fold..or play on your ego..its your call m8..we are players..not judges..Xtreem..feel free to play as you wish...gonna call you if i have the hand..!!!!!! lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!
while at it...just to end this...Excellence is not a singular act but a habit..You are what you do repeatedly..tc m8..god bless..
