No. Apparently Kristy is some "legendary" member of this forum that vanished years ago. The fact she has recently re-emerged is coincidence.

I'm talking the general attitude of the ruling clique that tends to ridicule new posters, especially when posting strategy threads, or anything related to poker.

There are "cool kids" here?

Seriously though, this is easily the single most inclusive forum I have ever seen. If someone is being rough in a strat. thread there is usually only 1/3 solutions:

1. The person played the hand badly.
2. A bad player (of which this forum has many) thinks that talking loud=talking right
3. OT is slow today and I'z trollin'

Number 1. Is most often the case and while it is easier for a new poster to tell themself that they're being ganged up on, when the regulars agree with each other...they really should entertain the notion that--despite their epic free bar league success--they really might be awful.

Number 2 will always be slammed down with the hand of God by the "ruling clique". See: "When to fold aces preflop" for verification.

Number 3 ffs, come over and have some fun once in a while you sullen bastards!

Oops, just saw this. I have a nearly decade long body of work that proves that I will say just about anything to anyone.

If you bring poker to OT be prepared for me to troll until the thread fits the subforum. I actually have an insightful, well laid out response to your post, but I cannot, nay, I WILL NOT stand for this invasion of my pristine bastion of the ridiculous.

Before this gets too out of hand, maybe I'll just move this to general poker chat?

I had sufficiently OT'd it IMO.

Absolutely slathered on the OT, like gravy on French fries.

Since we're here now...

This may be slightly tangential b/c scrolling up on my phone is hard. I read this poker book, years ago--so long ago that I don't even remember the title. It was an unimportant work, by an unimportant author..

It had this chart of catechisms that I was much teased for loving.
Eg. Money is always flowing, slowly, from bad players to their betters, and things of that ilk.

I feel like players are too apt to focus on the nitty gritty short term and lose the more zen notions that "if you're making good decisions it'll come out in the end", and, more importantly, not to tap the tank.

I think this important not only because it allows you to lower your blood pressure, but also because it stops the other player from reacting to your criticism spoken or gestured, and using this free knowledge in becoming better players.

I'm not professing mastery of this skill, but I cannot tell you how much money I have kept in circulation by saying, "Of course he shoved that, he had KQ....SOOTED." Nor how much money I've unseated by raising a judg-y eyebrow to someone who hates to hear "I think you're wrong".

Yes, math only players will post results-- and it is valid, and perhaps the most important aspect of the game, but there's something real to be said for taking a step back to think about your own headspace, as well as the headspaces of your opponents to foster and direct their actions.
