Have you ever been asked....
 

"Do you play on the internet?" by a player while in the middle of a hand. For some reason it seems most of the B&M regulars despise online poker.

Anybody ever been asked that, or heard any other negative comments towards online poker and their players?

Re: Have you ever been asked....
 

There was a guy today who made some comment to me after I check-raised him. He was a real douche anyhow but I guess my check-raise pissed him off.

Just after the CR
"Check Raise Eh!?! You must be an online player"

I didn't really know what to say but I thought it was funny.

But yes, in general, most people seem to not like online players.

Just recently I was in a small tourney where the chips represented really stupid denominations. Like whites were 200 Red 300 Blue 100 and Green 1000 or something... anyway, I had a lot to drink that night (buy in was only $20 with 6 people) and I started forgetting how much they were worth. "How much is that? How much is this agian?"

So this guy gets all pissed off... "you're supposed to be Mr. Internet, don't ack like you don't know how to play"

So I'm like, "dude, I know HOW to play, you are just an idiot for making the denominations like you are dyslexic or something. What ever happened to white $1 red $5 green $25" etc....

To make a long story short I just started going all in every hand and ended up sucking out on his QQ with a runner runner straight. I thought the guy was going to come accross the table at me.

They don't like online players because online players don't agree with checking the nuts on the river or chopping pots on the flop if the board is too scary.

online poker is gay

A guy at my table the other day spoke of "rap music and video games, the retard generation." I was one of several of that generation and almost ran with it but didn't. However when he started talking abotu online poker he said "we can go do poker.com" I did feel compelled to inform him that I only know how to use the internet to find nakedbigtittedwomen.com.

"they have poker on the internets?"

Bruno,

I see that a lot too. Many live players are so straight forward that c/r's and value bets make them cranky.

Re: Have you ever been asked....
 

At the table this weekend some guy said he would never play online poker because of the chance of collusion, but he loved to play blackjack online. Funny part was, another guy agreed with him...

Actually, I wonder if online uses a shoe? Couldn't you rig up a card counting softwares?
