FTR is the place I let my inner table coach run wild so I can do my thing at the tables...

People behave badly sometimes and outsiders comming into an established community have some ice to break. What else is new?

What exactly are you hoping for here?

Most players are break-evenish or big losers.

Most players haven't much of a clue how to really talk about poker problems. "Pot Odds" in the Commerce 9/18 game means cold calling all sorts of crap after 3 players are in the pot and get even better with a raise or re-raise jammed in there. Winning players in many games for meaningful stakes have horrible misconceptions.

Everyone can't be a winner.

It's hard to convince a "winner" he's not.

Any forum targeted towards the unwashed masses will suck.

At best, we can be a forum for those who want to look at poker seriously, improve, have an open mind, yet aggressivly debate. We do quite well at this.

Any debate worth having will get ugly at times, that's just human nature.

That's my 2 chips on the subject.

Meh, one other point. If you are going to dig at someone, try to have some content or at least be creative. I jumped in because I saw another cocky SoB and was curious if he came here armed and ready or had the even the capacity to look at the flip side of a marginal poker problem.
