My Mouth Got Me in Trouble

Playing Paradise NL. The game was loose/passive with very little raising BTF (until I got there). I got beat on the end by a player playing 87s on the button. I didn't mean anything buy it at all but I made a comment to the effect that it was a pretty loose game. My opponent that had just beat me jumped all over me, telling me that I shouldn't criticize him if I thought he played bad, that I should like it (or something like that) and that I should go back to 2+2! I felt awful!!! I apologized, saying I was not referring to him but to the table and in no way was critcizing his play. I even went as far as saying loose play in NL is good when you pick your spots (as he did). Anyway he said no problem and I went on to have a winning session. And BTW, only the 2nd online NL winning session after losing $400. Now I'm only $175 stuck at online NL.


The thing I felt the worst about though, was that he recognized me as a 2+2'er (I didn't recognize his name as one though). I felt kind of good but bad that he thought I was being a jerk.


I learned a lesson here. Whether it's live or online, people listen and take things as they percieve it. I'm glad he said something because many would not have and just gone on thinking that I all 2+2'ers are jerks.


Say less than I think, that's what I should've done and will try hard to do from now on.
