[Closed] Things I swear I'll never do again

Hm check/call is terrible what I meant was bet/call.Bet/shove for value???
Oh I have alot to learn ...but are you sure that this is good idea at nl10 cuz when I saw the hand it was more then clear to me that CO had flush on the flop.Hero can be drawing dead(rarely but possible)...
I am sure that in the long run bet/shove is best,but as far as I am concern I would save myself 2.90$ here.
What could CO have to take this line: BB checks,Hero bets $0.77, CO raises to $1.54 ?...if you ask me he can't have a set nor a straight and that raise is 100% not a bluff.So we play for one more diamond or running cards for a full boat.
In best case scenario CO has 10 high flush and calling 0.77$ is ok cuz we can fold the turn.
AKM247 I think that you give more information then you get in this hand. ♦

Well this is my humble fish opinion and I would save myslef 2.90$ in this case. my 2.90$ more then my girl friend...

you should really consider. Poker is so situational and there is 1000000% going to be times when they are the right play.

Tilt shoving your whole stack I can understand and playing above your bankroll I can understand but from a strategical aspect you should never disregard one play completely.

Never is a strong word, but regularly making such plays on NL20 makes me lose a lot of money earned by playing painstakingly long hours. And then I end up staring at my screen in disbelief, wondering what the hell inspired me to do something that stupid. Therefore the thread...

This is a story of my poker life so far I felt so much better after reading this thread - it is much easier when you see someone having same problems as you Then again... they DO sometimes 3 barrel with just top pair and no kicker worth speaking about...

Never play coinflip SnGs.

it's never cointflip, you get around 54% with pocket pair against 2 overcards. This is profit in long term.

I think dydukas was referring to the STTs where everybody gets only 1 chip to start with and you have to either fold or go all in on every hand. S/he might even have meant the STTs where you get 500 chips and everybody is obliged to go all-in on every hand. I agree that both are sucker games.

3 barrels with TP no kicker?

Haha (and I feel weird calling any grown man or woman "Haha"), how do you create those doctored pix you keep posting? D'you use photoshop?

Made this account quite a while ago. And can't change the name as far i'm aware of. I realise it's quite weird to adress me lol ♦ Not really a "grown man" though. Just 18 years old.

I do got photoshop but don't use it that often. I also don't post pictures that often here. But the one above is just from the internet (It's a quote from the movie). I do see many people post meme's here though. You can make your own with memegenerator.net (which is offline right now). Or just edit pictures with paint/photoshop. You can do very awesome things with photoshop but it takes time and effort.. and experience to learn it. Which for me is too much effort ♦

I assume most posted pictures are from what people have seen at other forums or funny picture sites instead of something they made themselves though. (with the exception of the picture editting contest thread)

Have you asked support about changing your name? Just wondering whether that's a firm rule or not, because I've thought of a better name for myself as well.

I'll never swear again

I remember, from back in my court reporting days, when a Portuguese woman with limited English was giving a deposition. The lawyer asks her: "Have you been sworn?" And she goes: "Never!" So her lawyer goes: "Did a man come with a Bible and ask you to put your hand on it and..." And she goes: "Oh, oh, oh, yes, yes." ♦
