Message: [QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 1674244, member: 33113"] I thought this was pretty funny too. So.. you're supporting him if he takes your advice.. but if he doesn't then it's time to attack him? Your suggestion that what it takes to win at poker... can be acquired on the playchip tables is a serious joke imo. It'd be like telling someone > "you know if you go play bridge down at the Senior's Hall for the next 6mos. & be reallllll patient with their play... & just stick to that (cuz that's what it's all about.. the discipline to stick with it!!!), then you'll become a winning poker player. (in other words.... it's a completely different game. If PI can't learn what you're suggesting he needs to learn, do you think he'd learn that on the fishfest playchip tables?... or bridge?). If you want to stick to grinding the playchip tables... great!! Personally I'd rather dump $'s & re-deposit every day of the week. imo.... playing the playchip tables is similiar to driving you car in Sunday traffic, getting to the next stoplight first (ahead of the senior's out for a Sunday drive)... & thinking you're learning how to become a better racecar driver (or that in some way it'd be of benefit). To practise discipline & patience... I think one would be better off to try balancing a ball on their nose for 5mins. per day, then to play on the playchip tables. (sorry.. but as you can see, I feel pretty strongly about it. I know that for myself, I'll occassionally play around on 2nl & 5nl tables on a site where I have a small roll.. for 'fun'... but of course I'm always trying to crush them with the biggest possible winrate possible. I do notice however, that if I get into the habit of playing on these tables a few nights in succession, it negatively impacts my Tournament game when I return to playing my usual game. This is part of the reason why I think that playing on playchip tables can do more harm to a new player than good (I mean once they've discovered how the cards are dealt, how the betting works, how the software for a particular site works & learn how to set their tables up with whatever settings they discover they prefer. There's little else use for them imo. 'maybe' OP feels simliarly? Or doesn't want to spend that time there when they feel they're capable of playing on tables with better play?) [/QUOTE]
