Put Your Opponent On A Goddamn Range

I find it downright hilarious that out of the dozens of people I have berated for not putting their opponents on a range that this is only the second person in probably the past 4 months who has actually asked me about it.

Maybe they don't dare to because they think they'll be berated again?

Good point. No one wants to ask someone they think is too good to help them.

Then they need to get a new fucking hobby. This isn't figure-skating, this is a group of people at a table trying to take every fucking penny and every ounce of worth you have on a financial and human level. If someone can't stand being berated over completely ignoring one of the most basic concepts in some endeavor then they need to get the fuck out. If someone posts a hand in here, and they have no fucking idea what they're doing, 9 times out of 10 it's going to be because they haven't put their opponents on a range. Then 90% of that 1 time out of 10 it's because the range they put their opponent on made absolutely no fucking sense. People need to get with it or get lost. I'm not going to hold someone's hand and tell them that everything will be okay and they'll make it one day just off of mashing whichever button flashes the brightest. In case anyone is wondering, I'm not going to hold anyone's dick while they take a piss either.

But on a more PR-friendly note, I can't be held responsible for someone else's fear of failure.

See above.
