Re: how do you beat gamblers? Amazing. I've seen many of those plays in large freerolls but a $30 STT. :loon They must have more money than sense.

Re: how do you beat gamblers? I would have thought you just keep sticking your money in when you're ahead. You do realise ALL poker good or bad is gambling, don't you? Have you worked out how far ahead you were when you actually stuck the money in by the way? Maybe this should just be moved to the badbeat thread:unsure

Re: how do you beat gamblers? You were 55% fave, bit like a pair against two over cards. Your going to win over half the time in this situation, defo a strange call by the winner though, but thats poker these theings happen. Keep slogging away

yes ! and folks think that playing 'higher' levels equates to better players :eyes a PP I wouldn't have minded so much, but that shit - anyway I should have folded, for all I know the first shover might have AA and and I am at best a 70/30 fav or so if they both have undercards/underpairs and a 65/35 fav if you include Ax into their calling range Just a poor call by me in the end, its first hand of the tourny - I am not winning it here but I might lose it:$ Damo

I'm convinced it does - yes you get bad players at higher levels and you get good players at lower levels, BUT the average standard increases as you move up the levels.....

Re: how do you beat gamblers? Over the past fortnight, I'm 2 for 10 with pocket cowboys :cry All bar one of the occassions when I lost, I was ahead when the money went in. :cry:cry I've been playing TAG, making pot sized raises pre flop and been reraised with such monumental hands as A4s, J7o and K2o :cry:cry:cry About the only thing thats kept me sane is the Poker Odds Calculator on the Poker Magazine website :ok (This isn't supposed to be a bad beat post, just a moral support, "shit happens" post)
