Keep it up, idiot 5. Do you just push every hand, idiot? 6. You're an idiot, moron 7. You're a complete moron 8. Takes a lot of skill to play like that, idiot. 9. That's BS 10. You suck Irieguy [/ QUOTE ] lol... yeah, we play in the same crowd. eastbay

Re: Informal poll
[ QUOTE ]
Last night one of the other players kept making comments about all-in working every time but once. When I finally got called and busted out I actually had the better hand pf, but he was all giddy because my strategy had finally been defeated "as it inevitably would". Did he not notice I was a 2-1 favorite preflop? lol [/ QUOTE ] lol. One of my recent faves: Blinds about 15/30, I get dealt AA, my first playable hand, and raise it to 100, get two callers. Flop is K high, somebody bets ~200, and I push in ~900. Guy calls with KTo. A T comes off, and I'm out. In the chat box: "Idiot. Loose players always get sent packing." eastbay

Re: Informal poll
My favorite is when you push something like T8s in a high blind bubble situation, get called by A3o, and get chastised for sucking out/pushing crap...after you win the virtual coinflip. Or any time you win a 2:3 or 3:5 and your opponent whines incessently (without mentioning the specific odds) about the utter unfairness of the whole matter, and what a fish you are for pushing semi-crap when the blinds are about to eat up your fold equity.
When I do catch flack from a player on hands like that, they're not a likely candidate for the "table selection - avoid list."

"Idiot. Loose players always get sent packing." eastbay [/ QUOTE ] Ha! I used to defend myself. Back when I played at Golden Palace or the $10's on Stars, I was pullin in like a 40% ROI. Guys would give crap like that, and I'd say "If I stink so bad, why do I have a 40% ROI?" Then they'd say, "What's ROI, idiot?"

Re: Informal poll
I get called an idiot every day. I have lots of people that say they have notes on me as a moron.
Sometimes I argue back a little. I know I shouldnt, but I dont like losing FE because some idiot tells the rest of the table I am an idiot. Which brings me to the questions. Just how should we handle it? Does it affect FE enough to even think about it when someone mentions it at a table before it is blind stealing time?

Re: Informal poll
At $11-$33, I get berated all the time.
My favorite ever was one time on the bubble when I opened from the SB with A4o. I am big stack and BB had only about 5xBB, so I put him all-in. He calls and flips over KK. I hit my A and bust him. He writes: "A4.lol. That's garbage. GARBAGE. I wouldn't even CALL with A4 and this idiot is PUSHING with it." I guess in this guy's world, it takes more of a hand to push than it does to call an all-in. Regards Brad S

Re: Informal poll
Yeah. Usually they laugh at me (with an 'lol' or 'haha' of course.. I can't hear them).
I've gotten, 'You're not gonna last long', 'keep playing like that, idiot', and a few heads up challenges. I love it.

Re: Informal poll
"You keep doing that, I'm going to call you"
"Idiot only knows how to go allin, learn to play poker" "You know, that works everytime but once!" I love it when they get angry from the aggressive play. It almost always breaks down the same way: -steal 3 or 4 times, building up a good stack -fish gets angry and vows to call you next time -push next time, he folds anyway -push again, he calls you with absolute crap.. that will teach you to go all-in so much!!!
