It's all about the stance of dominance, and the poker face.

Once in a while you also need to go all in. People will realize you're a badass mofo and won't mess with you.

I got my ass handed to me. You guys suck LOL. And spacejamz, I am pretty sure you were trolling me, but you would not BELIEVE how many times I got hands with a 2 and 7 right off the bat. You are bad mojo, man, sorry...

and for the record, I wasn't trolling you...you should usually fold a non suited 2/7 starting hand....that was good advice...

You should pretty much always fold a 2/7 hand of any suit, unless you are the big blind and nobody raises.

or there is a side bet for winning a 2/7 starting hand and the pot hasn't gotten too crazy when it's your turn to bet....

I did say much earlier that it was a garbage hand....

I have seen my share of someone hitting trip 7's with this hand though...crazy stuff...

If you can't spot the fish within a half-hour of sitting down, you are the fish.
