Message: [QUOTE="Dorugremon, post: 2085630, member: 94033"] Been there; done that. Heard it before. Yeah, it's frustrating watching a fish luckbox it while you're running card dead. Once you know what you're doing, you're not going to be completing in the SB with 53-off, flopping bottom two, spiking a full on the river to stack the nut flush your opponent made on the turn. Fish rely on miracle flops, and sometimes they get them. One after another, all night long, and stack multiple players who're better than them for a hellacious score. Twenty years later, their Big Night is remembered as though it occurred last night. In the mean time, they've played like the fish they are, and lost every bit of it back plus a whole lot more. Maybe you're making the same mistake? Recalling all the big wins that resulted from playing fundamentally bad poker, and forgetting the losses? Secondly, as a player who knows what you're doing, you have a distinct disadvantage: your play makes sense. Fish are unpredictable, but that one advantage doesn't offset their many manifest weaknesses. You're not gonna luckbox with garbage when the garbage correctly sails into the muck pre. You're not gonna stack an opponent by hitting a one or two outter when you aren't making ill-advised calls. As a fundamentally sound player, you're not gonna make your winnings with huge wins, but rather a series of much smaller wins over the long haul. Let the past bury the past, and forget about your fish days. Concentrate on playing well, and let the wins and losses take care of themselves. [/QUOTE]
