It really sets me off when...
 

Someone makes a ridiculous all-in call on the turn with a ridicuous draw, catches a miracle on the river, and someone else at the table says "nh".

Its fine for me to say "nh" and encourage the fish to do their fish thing, it's fine if I want to be the graceful ambassador of the game and congratulate the idiot for playing lottery tickets rather than poker, but when the uninvolved player does it MAKES ME REALLY REALLY ANGRY!

Sorry, I didn't know where else to post this. We need a forum to express our anger about these kinds of things. Maybe if we had a forum for bad beats we wouldn't have a problem with people posting bad beats. And maybe I wouldn't have so many dents in my desk.

Well...you picked THE appropriate S/N!

Two things:
1.) Nobody here cares...sorry
2.) It's far worse to have the person who sucked out on you tell YOU "nh"!

Just remember that you're making money off these people.

did it ever occur to you...
 

that the guy saying "nh" may be encouraging this play the same way you are? I do it all the time.

So don't worry about it...better to sit with guys like that than serious pros.

My thoughts exactly. You and every other decent player at the table want these people to take long shots. You come out on top in the end.

What's wrong when sombody else says NH? I find it better, that way I don't have to say it.

Perhaps the player not in the hand just wanted to push your button so you would bleed off more chips?

Either work on your emotions or find a new interest. If small things like this set you off, you will have a very hard time becoming a well rounded player as you will get more out of allowing yourself to get 'set off' than you will in the important dynamics of the game.
