"teachers who yell at students aren't more effective so i'm not sure where you're coming from"

Dont have the time or inclination to be your "teacher" therefore have to take short cuts.

Ignorance= not taking the time to understand the question.

Where you teased at school. You are very sensitive.

I re-read that first post several times thank you, the whole time thinking he was the BB. No big deal, your rude writing style has stated your probable age and maturity to me already and I understand what it's like to be 19. This has nothing to do with me being sensitive don't you understand that yet???? It has everything to do with showing people respect on a forum unless they are truly being ignorant which i certainly wasn't. If you re-read your past posts to others over the past months you never show respect and that does bother me, sensitive or not. I hope at least one person will agree there is no reason to be rude on these forums when we're all for the most part just trying to have fun playing and improving in a game we love.

Not only are you over sensitive you have a very preachy tone.

If you think me saying

"NO! This is what you want to happen and you should quickly learn why"

In relation to you saying something totaly and utterly wrong (because you didnt even read the post properly), is rude then we have very different ideas of what constitutes rude.

With more maturity you will become less sensitive.

Also the claim that I never show other posters respect is just a blatant lie and much ruder than anything I said to you. Yes I did blast into someone once but that was in relation to a suggestion that was extrmely "ignorant" and needed to be steped on fast.

Irresponsible big stack play is so rampant, its ridiculous. I see it at all levels and it's so frustrating. Sometimes I can't help but comment, but most time I use my newfound knowledge to run over their passive play.

It says:

Soft playing or chip dumping is grounds for disqualification from the tournament.

I think this merits a discussion topic of its own

Passive big stacks and people playing slowly really annoy me, too.

But my biggest pet peeve is when someone cries about catching a bad beat. I catch dozens of bad beat a week (as I'm sure most of you do, also). Though it is very frusterating, especially when the other guy only has 2 or 3 outs, it's part of the game. No one wants to listen to your whining. We've all been there.

Yeah. Yesterday, during the final four of an SNG, the short stack was on the BB with 1.5xBB after posting. The big stack min-raised and the BB called, leaving him with 0.5xBB. He executed a stop and go and pushed on the flop with a 1/8th pot bet. The big stack folded.
