Topic: DEBATE: Results-Oriented ? Forum: Card Chat

I am not results oriented int eh short term. It is ONLY the long term that makes a difference - Results over a period of 10,000 hands or more. For example, i could call and see a flop with 10♣4♠ every time, and hit two pair every now and again, but as we both know its a losing play in the long run. So, i'll fold it preflop and on the off chance a 10/4 hits the board, i am slightly annoyed, but releived that the other 11 times or so that only a 4 or only a 10 with overs will hit and i will lose money on the hand.

Furthermore, Lets say I have 5♦6♦ and there is the 9♦J♦3♠ on the board and 100$ in the pot and the pot is contested 3 ways. If the illian bets 100$ and i'm next to act, I throw my hand away. If the guy behind me calls and on hte turn comes a diamond, I get upset for a second, but remember that I'm only 34% to make that flush, and getting 2:1 pot odds is not profitable for me in the long run. I will lose more money than I win by making the call.

Thats what people mean IMO when they say results oriented. They are talking about the short term, and I agree 100% not to be that way. ANyone who is NOT results oriented in the long term, please, just give me your bankroll.
