....is this.
It is on the subject of improving your game.
I expect to get some negative feedback because of this, but whatever. If you choose to berate me because of this post, make sure it's because you don't agree with the PRINCIPLE of what this guy is saying, NOT because it is written with a huge degree of hostility and NOT because you want to be politically correct, and that some people are largely incapable of objectively looking at controversial issues.
I did not write this. I do not agree with everything written. I do not think it applies to 'newbies' of the game that don't really know the basics or what to think about/look at when analyzing a hand. I DO agree with the general principle when referring to advanced or even semi-advanced poker players.

It is amazing what you can do with a little bit of thinking and a little bit of experience when it comes to poker. Seriously, for those that are constantly searching the internet trying to figure out how to play perfect poker, give it a try sometime. It's unfortunate, but generally speaking, the closer someone is to playing 'perfect poker', which is obviously unattainable, the less likely they are going to divulge the information and thought processes' that make that person so much money.
I'm not saying that posting on forums and asking others for help isn't useful. You just have to understand that it's no substitute for thinking on your own, and it's not even close in my book.
Class dismissed.

Ok, I have a question; most the people that post on this particular forum looking for feedback are pretty intelligent. More intelligent than most the people that respond to their posts? Definitely. I don't understand WHY you people post. It's retarded. LOL HOW DO I PLAY A SET OR TPTK OR 2 PAIR IN THIS SITAUTON. What, you can beat f4cking 10/20nl+ but you can't work this [censored] out on your own? What, someone knows your own table image / the flow of the game better than you do? You people are f4cking retarded, you're sitting here waiting for some illsuive panacea that never comes, you're waiitng, refreshing the HS forum, waiting for some new SECRET PANACEA TO GIVE YOU THE NEW SECRETES TO BEAT THE NEXT LEVEL OF POKER. GUESS WHAT RET4RD. The only way you're going to get better is by analysing the hand yourself within the context of your game style. YAY CTS NEVER FOLDS A SET. YAY SAMO DOES. WHO. GIVES. A F4CK. You're smart enough to work this [censored] out on your own people. And your answer will be better than other peoples.
The ONLY reason I can see for a HSNL forum at all is a) braggery b) when someone gets f4cking wasted and decides not to hold back. Keep on waiting, because most of you newbs aren't getting wasted and posting your thoughts on the game theoeretical impacts of overbetting.
