Poker Forums should be..................

Mick McCool

useful and informative for inexperienced players who can use peoples experience's in live and online games to improve their games using the least money possible.

I have found out in the last two years that as you get more known through your results people hiding behind a forum alias come out like termites and start **** stirring. These are usually jealous wannabes who dont have no skill or passion for this great game. These threads usually esculate quickly with people saying things they wouldn't to peoples faces.

I commented on Dan's play as l found it. In my opinion he was lucky and not a great player and he must take advice on board or he won't progress. I have only played 3 good players in my 2 years of poker so this is not a big put down!

As for my move on the end, l believe this was good poker but l will run it past the person who l ask for advice and see what he thinks. The rivered spade kills the move, especially against a player who can't fold!

Sour Grapes are not in my poker locker Dan, the Irish Open is another tourney for me mate albeit a special one. Your comments are what l was repling to, trying to put my side to it. Every man is allowed to defend his actions!

This Forum is the same as the rest of them and this is my last post as l am closing the account and good luck to everyone on it. There are some up and coming players and decent people on here and l wish them all the best in the future.

Good Luck.

Who is Dan?

EDIT: Oh right. Rooney_Dives.

You're a very strange man Mick.

I think Dan is Requiemforadream.

Sounds like McCool has had one too many mind you.

You seem to have a bit of a persecution complex there mick. Are you originally from cork by any chance?

He commented on you as he found it, you responded by trying to belittle him and his poker abilities in what stunk of, and still stinks of, sour grapes.

You're in the wrong here but he fcked up by rising to the bait.

Shít bluff btw.

lol so you felt im a useless calling station luckbox donk and decide to try bluff me all-in on a board of Qs Js 3x Jx 8s with Ace high? One can only admire the logic i suppose.

What? So you didn't fold after all the speach-play and sweats he'd given you. That's a shocker.

jbravado

The idea that you can fully judge a player on the basis of less100 hands sounds bananas too me.

Poker forums are exactly the way they should be imo. Good players post/contribute a lot-inturn they evolve realise there is more profitable/productive (ie forums with more benificial theory analysis etc) ways of spending their time. Lesser players embrace/become better and so on. The natural order etc etc.

Great learning tool for people who want it to be-less for those who dont.

Also mick just saw your comment re not posting anymore etc- thats a pity good luck in the future.

I have no idea who Mick is but I like his style.

All this post proves is that you have a huge ego and found no one on this forum willing to massage it for you and tell you your bluff was an inspired move, just a shame he actually did make the flush on the end. I know your results speak for themselves, but you have no class and constantly contradict yourself. Wp sir.

Make sure you come back and let us know whether its good poker or not. In fact you might want to ask him to have a look at all of our HH threads, as we are a little lost. Does he play omaha as well by any chance?

sound like you know your stuff Michael McCool. Dont mind these online kids. Your speech play doesn't work on them because they have no soul. This is bad for you on another level as well because if they have no soul, WTF are you supposed to read?

More likely a low class type Dub who deep down will always know he's a scanger howya but nevertheless will look down on all non-dubs particularly from Cork as bleedin culchies to inflate his own sense of self importance. Or maybe that's you I'm talking about!

The poker player named Michael McCool
Is often regarded as a complete tool
But his results often speak for themselves
He's away with the fairies, goblins and elves
A second in Galway, was good if not great
But doesn't make him Phil Ivey's best mate
If prizes were given for ego in poker
Mick McCool would be playing the joker
He got outplayed on a co-ordinated flop
And decided his best play was to go into a strop
There's only three players in the world he has time for
That's himself, his ego and the guy he sees in the mirr-or
I'm sure it's not the last we'll see of Mick McCool
The player some regard as a tool
For me he could be a new Boardsie hero
Like Hector and Reggie and Nicky O
So don't go away Mick
Come back and post
And tell us about the three players you admire most.

This was the big one. Mick McCool extremely active/aggro. He's playing around 35k as am i. He raises the C/O to 3600 at 500/1000. I peel a flop in bb with K6ss. I usually dont like this type of play but felt i could outplay him a lot of flops and the ones i hit im definitely getting paid off. Flop Qs Js 3d. I check, he checks. Turn Jd. I check-call a 5k bet. My thinking was simple, im betting any river, he probably has none of it and i can move him off almost all of his range (i.e. air). River is a spade. So ive rivered a flush, im certain im ahead. How do i extract value? If i check-raise i risk him checking behind. If i make a pot sized bet i leave no room for him to make a mistake. I know he likes to make moves. I bet 7k leaving about 18 behind. I really hoped this would look weak. He asked me how much ive left and shoves for his whole game, i call. He has A5o for complete air. I really felt i played this well post-flop. If i missed the river i was going to overbet shove and probably take it down also, so whatever way the river came the pot was mine.

Dan, thought l would make a comment fella before you lure yourself into a false sense of security whilst trying to make your fortune playing live Tournament Poker...

Next, you said "I thought l could outplay him on the flops", well fair play to you on that one Dan, but from what l seen today it wont be happening to soon as my 14 year old brother has more moves. I made a move at the wrong time and you got lucky to hit such a big river...

Good Luck with your live game Dan but don't let your EGO ruin a common sense progression like so many broke players before you. I learn everytime l sit at a table mate, l hope u will too.

Hey Mick, Don't be running off and bringing your ball home with you. That would smack of someone with a bit of an ego problem.
Myself being someone prone to spectacular brainfart tournament exits I'd really be interested to hear what sort of logic would lead to making a 'move' like that. For instance was calling the inevitable shove on the river part of your plan for this 'move'?

Maybe when you come back from visiting this great guru you'd help us out by posting some sort of explanation of what was going through your mind in this hand. R4D's thinking is very clear in the hand

I'm not being at all disingenuous when I say that I have really admired your play and would like to hear your thinking in the hand.

Wow, and your good friend Channing only goes and wins the Open. That must be a sickner for you. See, nice guys do win at poker!

Go and learn some manners and perhaps you'll come back a better poker player.

So they are good players then I presume.

These threads really annoy me.

This guy has contributed little or nothing to the poker forum yet seems to think its ok to create threads about himself and use it as a platform to talk rubbish.

imo the thread should be locked.
