Message: [QUOTE="Googlez, post: 349466, member: 6368"] diablo, i apologize for the outbust. i never said i was past the stage of improvement, noone will ever reach that stage. I said i am passed newbie concepts and have my own style that i play with, and i do not need to change my style, or stick to only playing top rated hands. this is not a ring table, it was a tourny. i was not calling, i was making a move. I called on the river only so the pot wouldn't get so large that i would be pot committed if he decided to bet big on the river. I know most people prefer being on teh button. i prefer being able to act first. I had hardly raised all tournament, and my chip-stack was mostly from being bet into.. I limped in... i bet 400 to see how the others would take it. mmbenz raised me. I hadn't seen this guy holding anything other then AA, KK, AK, QQ, OR AQ the time we spent on the table together.... so for him to raise on a flop like that, i didnt buy... he was probably trying 2 scare away my "draw" with his over-cards? at this point, i was not "fishing" i wasn't looking to pair my queen with a weak 8 kicker... i was looking to take the pot. Playing tight is great, it's good, its the only way to play. But you just have to take a pot here or there, and it was time i started takin a few pots here and there, changing up my game... If you play tight all the time, thats great for ring. I dont do ring. And playing tight will just eat your blinds away later on. There's a point where you have to start mixing it up. also, i came in here asking for advice, not on my play. but advice as to what do you think the other guy was thinking. I already know what i was thinking and doing, idont need you guys to explain that to me and call me a moron for playing queen 8 off.... which is a stronger hand then you guys make it seem to be. im trying to understand what you would think if you were in his shoes and didn't know what i was holding.... why would you call, etc. etc. Once agian, i apologize for my out-burst diablo, i understand you were trying to help. But please understand, you cannot have everyone play the same style as you, because that doesnt work for everyone. People have their own styles, what we should aim to do is help each other understand what other people are thinking.... by picturing ourselves as the opponent and giving our input as to what we woudl think if we were in that situation...
