On Respect
Hi,
Most of the time, when others fold to my raise I show them I have a good hand. I have flopped quads and then bet someone so strong on the turn thus causing him to give up his pocket kings. I will then immediately show Jack in my hand while I had a pretty small pot.
In times when I don’t make any money on my hands I find myself troubled. I oftentimes share to someone my sentiments, trouble, and that how another player hasn’t played a hand in 2 hrs and how I instantly then folded when he raised. Also, I share how I badly want respect.
One night, first hand, I had pocket 10′s with 1 being a club, 4 spades ended up being on the board. For some reasons I don’t know, I’ve misread my hand and then afterwards told my opponent I had a 10 high flush. Dealer then immediately told me that I had a club actually. Well, luckily, I made more money that night compared to other nights. But honestly, I didn’t misread my hand intentionally.
Now, I can say that maybe it’s entitlement that makes me cry for respect. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Lucky
Lucky,
Respect is earned and from what you have told me, you haven’t done a lot to earn the respect of other players. You bet too aggressively with the nuts and chase players out of hands that could have paid you off. You also misread your hand. When you do things such as this, the table isn’t going to give you respect because you are playing badly or carelessly. Work on being able to milk pots when you have the nuts and work on the basics. When you play good solid poker and are able to capitalize, you earn the respect over time.
