skill vs. luck

Poor4ever · 08-23-2006, 10:17 AM

I just love it when a player who plays like crap with a 9-2 off suit and pulls trips or fullhouse and calls it skill but when you play and A-K suited and happen to win with two pair, they call it luck!! LMAO

Don't you just love it!! What about those peeps that always blame the site when they get beat expecting to win that hand. However, when the same player has a marginal hand then wins he says, "Guess I was lucky with that one". These guys never blame the site when they win, only when they lose.

I blame the site when I win and lose... it can't be my fault because as you all know I'm perfect...........

You must also be a fan of country music. "Oh Lord it's hard to be humble"!!
I don't know if i'm perfect. But I used to be infallible, that is, until they made the Pope Polish!! (lol).

its not luck at all its odds, the odds of hitting four of a kind when playing 2,9 off suite are very high indeed however the odds that it can happen still exist. if there are odds that some thing can accure, then odds are it will.

If it is freerolls that your speaking of then yes you will face a bunch of donks that think they have skill by calling raises with junk hands because thats what they see on tv. What they don't realize is that what they see on tv is large stack poker not what we play online. They are basically hoping to get lucky. I see many a junk player think that they skills and I get a good laugh out of it. My favorite thing to do is get on them about there card selection. People that think I'm whining about their play are dead wrong. What I'm doing is calling them out so that the other players will recognize there poor play and in a way join together to eliminate those players. So call them donkeys, I do, gets them off their games and it gets everyone else paying attention to their moves and taking advantage of them. Sadly, the sites often seem to pay these players for a while...

i think they comes a time when you have a take a risk, but i know whats been said many times people throw chips down with nothing on and beat someone with a leading hand.

at least if your on the reciving end you just have to put it down to bad luck and cant get too upset
