Re: To the NL donkey \"slumming\" at the Greektown 5/10 this past weekend
As annoying as they are, these are typically the players that provide most of the profit in these games.
There was an arabic guy at Greektown who used to play $5-$10 and always shout "Ship it." who was incredibly annoying. To top it off, he constantly would utter "Ari Fiq Menyuk", which in arabic means "Let me stick it in you, faggot." He would call on any ace and suckout quite a bit, and yet when you sucked out on him he would utter his arabic curses. He was very loud and obnoxious to women.
Annoying as he was, I would stay longer whenever he was in the game, because he was providing for at least 1/2 of the overall profits I was making from the game.
Poker is a tough way to make an easy living, and one of the hard things is dealing with an annoying player. It's something you have to tune out, just like bad beats, in order to be successful. Either that or change tables.
good luck
