you decided to turn this thread into an aggressive back and forth attack. what does this say about your character?
I'm not trying to piss you off here, but ask yourself this same question. Your reaction to critisism is aggressive, like you feel personally offended. Nobody is attacking your character, just your poker skills. If you want to discuss poker on the internet, you need to be willing to accept critisism, even if you don't agree with what you read, and even if the person giving you critisism is plain wrong. People are giving their opinions. It's up to you to decide if their opinion is worth more than yours. This is the internet, there's no body language, it's really easy to assume someone is being a jerk when they are not. If keith was being a jerk, he'd just mod ban you for calling him a jerk. That's what jerks do... they react to arguments in disproportionate ways. He's still trying to explain his thoughts to you, it's clear to me he's not being a jerk, but I've known him online for a decade, I'm used to his language and know how intolerant he can be. I'm slightly impressed with him for not getting annoyed.

At least you explain your thought process as you argue. That is definitely a positive. You are still trying to talk poker. You do have the potential to improve, but you're easily baited into emotional responses. Like I've said before, this is closely related to tilt, a serious problem in poker.
