English is not my first language so maybe smug was the wrong word. But you´re assuming that I´m not enjoying myself, in a kind of patronizing way, based on first of all not reading the topic from the start and incorrectly thinking it was me playing the hand mentioned, and based on, probably my other post in other topics lately? After all, I am the big ranter here, always wrong, always having some forum members jumping into my threads complaining about me, instead of minding their own business. Simply don´t read my posts if it´s so offending to hear someone get pissed of. You´re also assuming that you have played way longer than me. You don´t know my age, UNLESS you somehow found my personal information through Unibet, which takes this to a whole other level. I was discussing friendly. Last time I checked disagreeing doesn´t mean the same as being not friends, angry, bla bla bla... You however came into the discussion "shouting" wrong, wrong, WRONG" - last wrong emphasized. Delicate referred to THAT, not that you joined the discussion. Was that so hard to understand ? So no, I didn´t say you are not allowed to join. I just didn´t like the way you did it without ANY backing up to why you thought so. It´s actually kinda rude, and if I think you´re rude, I will answer you. And let this be clear, I haven´t called anyone names here, I haven´t ASSUMED a bunch of stuff about you. You did, about me. So to the next point: Saying that I bounced back and made some good progress fast with my bankroll, how the hell can that be "smug"? It wasn´t even meant as bragging, I explained that TODAY I enjoy playing again, BECAUSE of bouncing back. You´re taking everything out of context and trying to make me look bad. As for the hands discussion, there are a lot more hands between 72 and AA,AK,KK..etc so the game will never be dull with all tight players playing tight players. There´s a BIG differnce between a downright DONK taking horrible chances and ruining the game for others and a person gambling and simply missing. I will never agree that we need these donkeys. I last longer EVERYTIME I don´t meet them. So let´s just agree to disagree on that matter. I´m kind of fed up with everyone here having seen the hands thinking they are the oracles of poker and telling everyone they did the wrong thing. That guy pushing 72o could have pushed anything, obviously. Any Ace with low kicker for example. QJ is a GOOD hand then, even 910, and I see COUNTLESS calls, worse than QJ, and they win, often. But of course, the amount of BB to call in this particular case is a big gamble. I don´t think the topic starter would have been on here "complaining" (airing his frustration is a better way to phrase it) if he got called by a "decent" hand. Do you ? Let people VENT. The moment we have written down our frustration we are already deep into another tourney, it´s all good. It´s life. It´s part of poker. Get down from your soap-boxes (plural, not YOU in particular Gr1zzl3r), I don´t care how long you´ve been (plural again) on this forum. Let new members blow off some steam and help them become better players. I have gotten a lot of tips and help from a few people here, and I have a LOT of respect for them, for that! Your last few paragraphs, we agree, of course. Good luck yourself. Oh, and one last thing, if you or anyone else SAW all the crazy things I experienced the other day, when my bankroll was crippled, hand after hand, sng after sng, you might have felt the urge to rant a bit yourself. @GR1ZZL3R
