Help with this hand plz, was confused on how to play it

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.

I dont need to be willing to accept anything I find offensive on the internet, I am in many forums and most of the experienced people can and do get their point across without talking shit, on some of those forums I have seen moderators delete comments less offensive than this, because they go against the rules, theres a fine line between constructive and upbeat critism and being out of line , again it seems you guys have a cult like mentality that you think its ok to thrash people looking for advice and team up , that is why this forum is dead like it or not.
