A bad player is patternless and therefore unreadable. Betting wise.

I don't even know where to start with this. That is one of the strengths of being a better player.

Its a confusing concept. Better players try so hard not to have patterns that they end up having patterns.

Bad players have no patterns but that doesn't mean their bets are quality.

It's a confusing concept because its wrong.

Not picking on you Windy, I've just never understood that sentiment.

I haven't played in a long time. Anyone want to have a GRB tournament at some point? We could just do it on Yahoo! or something right?

Does Yahoo! have anything other than limit hold em?

Link??? You said "Bad players have no patterns but that doesn't mean their bets are quality." The majority of bad players have patterns. My guess is that you try to get in too many pots with these "bad players" and never know where you're at instead of waiting for a big hand to bust them with.

This usually scares me. I ask for a link and I don't get a response for a while. That means 1 they are actually looking for a link or 2 they are typing up a response that will annihilate.

I do have a tendency to play too many pots. I have tried to develop a tight-aggressive style but it seems that everyone I play is basically doing that also, so I have been getting in on a lot of pots to give them a lot of different looks.

I think so, but I'm not sure. We could just do it on one of the other sites with play money. I forget which one I used to play on.

Windy, if these people don't know what they're doing, just play it straight and you'll bust them. Unless you pick up something obvious. It's not hard.

Ya, I actually mix up my style of play depending on what kind of tournament I'm in. I generally play 26 dollar tournaments (500+ people) and 10 dollar sit n gos. The tournaments I play in are 9 handed and I normally play a tight-aggressive style, I'm usually in around 10-15 percent of the pots. My friend plays with this same style and he is up quite a bit in tournies. I usually play 6 handed sit n gos and play a semi-loose agressive style...normally in about 35 percent of the pots. (My avg. ROI right now is 25 percent in sit n gos). Different styles work for different players though, ex. Sam Farha.

We could just play fake money cash games at poker stars or wherever. Just set up a private table and invite people by username.
I'd be up for this sometime.

Not entirely related to the thread at hand, but J10 is a decent enough hand to take down aces.
