whining about whiners

[Joshua]

That's it! I didn't mean to walk this path but now that I've taken the first step I feel better. I'm about to whine. About whiners...

You all know the type. Barely winning they get outdrawn on a few times and then it starts pouring. "That guy will play any two cards". "Even my grandma folds that one". Blablabla. Sure enough the gambling mood disappear and everyone resorts to tight play afraid of being flamed by the whiner. Doesn't he realise he makes everyone play better whenever he's at the table? Doesn't he like when people draw to gutshots with insufficient pot-odds? Would he prefer eight Ray Zee and one Sklansky at the table?

Now I feel better. Sometimes it feels good to be a whiner.

I was at a game a month ago where we voted on who was the biggest whiner at the table. After the votes were tallied, the second-place finisher started whining about how he had been beaten.
