A point before I start : I had a conversation with pcdaniel this evening and we both agreed there are no hard feelings between us. I do however want to respond to her post so here goes.
1. Thank you for acknowledging your lack of experience. It is refreshing to hear someone speak their mind without trying to b.s. everyone about how much they know or how much experience they have had.
2. Instead of playing secret matches on Won, bring your friends here. Play some chitris or puzzle and see that other sites can be fun to.
3. My mom died of cancer when I was 12, watching her fight with that sh*tty disease for 10 years, probably more than any other thing when was growing up, has instilled a drive in me to fight and be competetive in everything I do. So I can empathise with you there.
4. I was not irritated that I had used the cube and lost, but rather that I had let an essentially easy 2 point turnaround slip into a loss. And honestly, when you made the comments after I doubled, I really just didn't even want to finish the match. It's the same feeling I get whenever I hear someone whine about all the doubles that are being rolled. I get the same breaks and tough games that everyone else does, the difference is what YOU make of them.
5. I don't think I in any way acted cocky or superior when we played, and as you play more you will understand that doubling is an excellent addition to the basic game.
6. In response to your last remark I can only say this, Why do poker players bluff ?
I'm gonna guess your theory doesnt hold up there, just as I feel it doesnt hold up here. It is a part of the game that more advanced and skilled players will use to their benefit, not as you seem to think... to rub your nose in it.
By the way, whenever your ready for a rematch you let me know. Cases, cube, neither, both, up to you. I look forward to playing you again.
