Message: [QUOTE="Dorkus Malorkus, post: 644548, member: 6020"] Ron, whatever will we do with you? I'm going to be somewhat blunt and harsh here, not because I'm a nasty bastard (I am, but that's beside the point), but because I'm trying to help, so forgive me. [I]90% of your threads say pretty much the exact same thing, which can be summarized as "WAAAH I DUN LIEK BAD BEATZ".[/I] Whether you view it in this way or not, this thread appears to me to be yet another bad beat whine thread, albeit under the cover of a separate question. You've been told time and again that profit in poker comes from other people's mistakes. When someone calls your UTG raise with 93o, that is (99.9% of the time) a mistake. When someone calls your turn shove with a gutshot, that is a mistake. Whatever happens afterwards is completely irrelevant - let the statistics sort themselves out. Okay, so four people call your raise with Aces. Yes, it's slightly harder for you because you have three ranges of hands to assign as opposed to one or two, but, assuming your opponents are weak, [I]you still want to be playing pots with them[/I] [I]because they are weak and will make more mistakes than you[/I]. You will make money in relation to your weaker opponents in your example by occasionally correctly folding AA after a lot of action postflop when a weaker player wouldn't fold, and by getting the weaker players to call either with draws given no odds or with weaker hands like TPDK (whereas you most likely wouldn't be involved in the hand in the first place given the same cards), or by your opponents just check-folding when their 95o misses the flop (again, given the same cards you wouldn't be involved in the hand and therefore you wouldn't have lost anything). Yes, sometimes someone will get lucky and flop two pair with 84o and stack you, but stats dictate that the number of times this will happen is not sufficient to show a net loss in the long run (unless you're a really horrible postflop player and are playing very deepstacked, but seeing as neither of these apply this is irrelevant).
