Confess your poker sins
 
I did something really stupid at the poker table (online) today. I was rude to a fish and scared him away from the table. This is probably the worst thing I've ever done (poker-wise). Please berate me.

If you feel like it, confess your poker sins here.

There is not enough room to post all my sins, nor time to write them. Just thinking about it makes me squeamish.

Yeah, one time after I got all in on the flop with a monster draw and hit, this guy was whining about my play, and I explained to him how I was a coinflip to win it, he was never actually ahead

I call my opponents dumb butt though I know I should not.

I bluff too much.

I use stop and go too much.

I think I am better than my opponents.

I don't dance enough.

This is not a poker sin. A poker sin would be getting mad at someone who does this.

It's a poker sin if he's a winner in the game and he "should" be playing...he's relaxed, well-rested, and feeling like playing poker.

Delete the blackjack feature. Then you won't have to worry about it.

Chasing flush draws even when I know I shouldn't.

10-20-2005 01:05 PM

Re: Confess your poker sins
 
I make too many crying calls on the river.
I have borderline weak-tight syndrome.
I should have moved up in limits a long time ago.
It's too late to move up in limits now because I made the poker sin of letting my spouse know that I had "extra" money sitting in my poker accounts.

Re: Confess your poker sins
 
LOL, everybody makes mistakes, hopefully some of us learn from them. My personal favorite "sin" was this:

I'm getting crushed in a game and am almost broke (on-line). I'm just livid, and beyond any emotional state I ever thought I could attain. I'm randomly typing profanities and being rude to other players. I had become what I absolutely despise with all my heart and soul.

Down to my case money in EP and raise w/ KJo...I flop top pair and play it as aggressively as possible HU w/ blind... I think I get all my money in on the flop, and in the process I type something to the effect of "IT DOESN'T MATTER, WHATEVER YOU NEED BUDDY, IT'S COMMING!"

Of course he cathes some unlikely runner runner and busts me. Then as if I hadn't already acted foolishly enough I type in something to the effect of: "F U YOU F'ING LOW LIFE SCUM... I HATE YOU ALL"

I proceeded to try to put my broke ass to sleep.

In my mind, that is about as low as I can imagine going, and I will hopefully never return to a spot even remotely close to that.

Re: I am so ashamed...
 
Nice...

That is classic, and I swear man, in some of my altered states of being...inebriated... I could sit there after your 22 hand and actually come up with a reason based in logic as to why and how I played the hand profitably in the long run...

Saying to myself: "Those fish never would have got the value out of that boat on the river like I did!"

Lord help me... for I have sins upon sins!!!!

I hit and run. It's without question my biggest poker sin. I get up a bit and think that it would be nice to go to sleep up, and I just quit. As a result, I don't play nearly enough poker and I am costing myself money. Sigh.

10-20-2005 09:52 PM

Re: Confess your poker sins
 
I tilt and I drink, then I drink some more.

I also should have moved up limits a long time ago

10-20-2005 11:19 PM

Re: Confess your poker sins
 
I find poker much more enjoyable (although not nearly as profitable) while drunk out of my mind .

Ummmm, I think I have you all beat, but I'm not sure I want to say why and by how much. Instead, I'll just share this story with you:

I come home after school and I am sick with the flu. Instead of taking the day off, which I told myself I would, I proceed to play for maybe twelve hours, losing more than half of my bankroll. It was so much worse than it sounds.

"You have a story worse than that?" you ask. Ohhhhh yes. Yes I do.

The Goober 10-20-2005 11:40 PM

Re: Confess your poker sins
 
One time at a live 4-8 game I had just won two nice pots in a row. As I'm raking in a whole bunch of chips (the cardroom uses $1 chips in this game) I look down and see KQo. Its folded to me in EMP, and I fold [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]. It was some weird combination of wanting time to stack my chips and getting a "feeling" that I was due to lose a hand and give some money back. I felt like such a fish (especially when a Q flopped on a very non-threatening board - then I got to feel like a results-oriented fish [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]).

I have one so bad that I'll post after I get results.

For now, it's berating fish at $0.25/$0.50 and lower after getting outdrawn. I never do it in my regular game but I derive so much satisfaction from it.

I was playing online 2/4 the other day, and I went bust on a short buy after getting outdrawn as a small favorite. I started typing "FUK YOU THAT WAS MY RENT MONEY!! OMFG, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?"

I then proceed to load up with something like $1300 on the table. Everyone thought it was pretty funny actually, including the guy who sucked out on me. I never actually berate people.

At the Mirage last night, I called a total stranger a Bitch.


She was a sweet looking young thing too.



Forgive me players, for I have sinned.
