Remember when the site had quality players?

I think the lasty 40k event showed it best, as the winner played extremly poor and suked out as a 90% dog a number of times, that the skill level has dropped on this site. The majority of quality players are few and far between. Sure, if you play 40,000 hands a month the math will work & the donks will get -EV, but when you play only a few MTTs a week on here, and get 4 calls to a position all in raise, it's a bit disgusting to seeyour aces lose to 93s(but it was suited) time after time. When do you laydown a hand? Is 83os a quality hand to call all your chips in a MTT when you have been playing for 2 1/2 hours? I guess so, as that seems to be the way to win on this fish ridden aquarium portal for bad players, otherwise known as spadeclub.

If that's really how you feel, we regretfully accept your resignation and wish you well in your future ventures. Otherwise, take a look at what the REALLY good players have to say on the matter. I've watched some DYNAMITE players just sit out 15 hands in a row, to avoid an early position against a 72 os all-iner. The bad player usually busts out and they've paid a blind or two to avoid this. I've got to say, as I play more and evolve my gameplay I am seeing the results....

...however, my intolerance for complaining players has not diminished ONE BIT. There is an element of luck. Sometimes the misses is yelling at you it's time to go... all in, either let the chips go or double up and make it worth your while to argue with her to let you play. Ever heard of BLUFFING? Thats where you make a big bet even though you don't have s@$t and hope everybody folds. The pros do it. The pros get lucky on a stupid raise or call. And with the exception of a few, ...

... They are generally gentlemen and ladies about it. If you can't handle losing, I say don't play, because I've never seen a WSOP winner that didn't lose many, many hands in the process of winning the tourney. Last piece... ANYONE who must resort to the word Donk for another player... rather than adapting their play and taking all the inferior player's chips... is the biggest Donk of all.

Donkey out.

The problem is, The adjustment you have to make does not help in real world casino play as the adjustments that need to be made are to play like those who play the crap seen here!!!

Here is a great example that just happened of the ridiculous play here, I have AK of spades, I raise 5 times the blinds pre flop to get called by someone with a stack close in size of my stack playing Q J off. The flop is 3 spades to give me ace high flush, I go all in and get called to have a fourth spade come and give him a strait flush to the jack and reward a bad call with all my chips. What's worse is this tends to be the norm here as things like this happen way too often!!! Oh, and yes I w

I can start listing names of great players here, but I only have 432 characters left. Sure some loose players get paid off but look at the leader boards. Consitent. Your tilting and rightfully so. However don't let a few bad apples ruin the whole bunch for you. You can meet great players here and improve your game. Loose players are everywhere at every level. Adapt and you will outplay them allday. I hope you can find the good all around the bad. Good luck and just keep playing to impr
