1) Hexa, you're right in a sense... you should give micro players credit for thinking. You forgot to include the qualifier: "like a 3rd grader thinks about calculus". Honestly, you're WAY over thinking this. Breaking news: 25NL players SUCK. Whether or not they're actually trying to focus on the game, they often make fundamental errors in almost every facet of the game, and are prone to a slew of psychological mishaps. Throughout this discussion, you're giving these guys WAY too much credit without reads.

2) You have no idea what pot control is. Look it up.

3) Dry board?!? Like hell it is.

4) It looks like you've taken the time to half-learn a bunch of useful concepts, but not the time to learn how to apply them. Reading through material does not count as studying it.

5) Don't ever tell someone what they "need" to do, then accuse them of being rude when what you said made zero sense.

6) Lou, I think the cbet is marginal against 2 players here. Depending on reads, I might just c/f this one.

7) I really don't have time to explain how off your range and equity calculations truly are.

Joey, thank god you're here to put the kiddies in their place. Hexa, listen to him more often.

Ok :(

Don't take it too hard, believe it or not, you're the winner here. Joey and I just spent time explaining shit we already knew; you (hopefully) had the chance to learn something. Have you looked up pot control yet?

Add me to skype: pshexa

I wasn't trying to be rude, it's just if I give it to you softly, you're not going to learn anything. I agree about c/f this flop with 2 opponents. Now if you had 1 opponent you know is gonna play fit/fold, you could easily CB this flop, but in a vaccum CBing 2 opponents isn't gonna be very profitable.

What drugs are you smoking?

And calling my thoughts hysterical.

How is this not perceived as rude?

It's called, the truth. I'll never give something to you softly, just for future reference.

So me doing drugs and it being hysterical is the truth?

You're ignorant and stubborn. That's the truth.

Apparently your feelings were hurt. Anyways, I'll refrain from correcting your statements & trying to help you as YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.

& I was joking, just trying to get you to listem, but obviously your emotions got in the way.

Now, now boys, let's not turn this into a wet fish slapping contest. Since this is the rarest of all Pokerspace beasts, a thread with educational value, as a non thinking micro player I would appreciate an explanation, or where I can find one, of the following terms:

1) dryboard

2) 3 bet light

3) pot control

4) regarding my C bet, I play these guys every day and I have a very tight image, so they most likely have me on AA, KK,QQ,JJ,AKs,AKo,AQs, and so after one guy checked, I thought the pot sized C bet should get rid of both of them.

5) regarding Joey's rudeness, or lack thereof, Joey is not rude, he's sincere in what he is saying, in fact, you actually caught him in a good mood

6) I think you can all see why I went to the source, contraSol, to clear this up; the only drawback is he will probably get a bigger swelled head than he already has, if thats possible :D
