Message: [QUOTE="BetterThanAvgButNotByMuch, post: 6362418, member: 480921"] Ill make try to make this constructive so folks don't think its just a simple bash on the community which it isn't. So I played more than a few Cardschat freerolls on ACR from Jan to April of this year here and there and found only a few players that would be winning players without depending on freerolls to keep them from going broke. And again, I don't mean in a negative way but too many of them were doing silly beginner moves like going all in like the 1st few levels of a tourn with some drawing hand AK, AQ, or small pairs etc. Even if they did have a premium hand like AA, KK they still shoved hoping to get a beginner to call when they were really wasting that hand not getting any callers or getting like a few other callers in the hand and they would go bust with that premium hand. They weren't trying to isolate and play a flop. And that leads to the next thing that they weren't trying to do and that's play flops to extract value from players which is a key sign that you're not a beginner in nl holdem. Most of them again wanted to simplify the game into an all in preflop game where the beginner has a chance to beat a more experienced player who wants to play a flop, tries to put someone on a hand, then evaluate a board and play accordingly. And when they were short stacked what were they doing? Did they know what hands to go with or were they again trying to simplify the game saying "I have 10 BBs I have an Ace in early position and end up shoving with Ace little when another person might wait til they're in middle late, late position and get that same hand and be able to identify a few tight players after them and try that same move with 6, 7 or 8BBs. Or lets say you had a big stack and we're near the money and you lose a big pot but you can still cash because you still have a lot chips compared to the field then I was looking to see if you could hunker down, realize the situation and play your best to grind out a cash but what did I see the majority of the time? I saw what I expected from beginners who would not shift gears and just gave up on the next hand, going all in with some silly trash hand and going bust before cashing. The post is long enough and there are so many things to look for but I would say a lot of them were on the beginner level, finding their way and enjoying the games and that's fine. I would say that I enjoyed playing the majority of freerolls with the community on ACR but towards the end with so many sit outs and the folks not even knowing starting hands and the all in preflops it was like ugh I had enough and didn't play too many afterwards, lol.
