Default Re: \"Nice Hand....\"

[ QUOTE ]
Nothing gets to me more than when 6 people see the flop and a guy with 64s hits a straight flush and wins 5 BB...then gets complimented on his "nice hand." Christ, it was all luck, and he only got 5 bucks out of it! That's what pisses me off the most, when people get congratulated on hitting huge hands that they shouldn't have even been playing in the first place (nevermind playing them poorly).

Why does this aggravate you? Assuming you will continue to play this person, it's to your advantage if he is encouraged to keep making this mistake. In fact, it's one of the quickest ways to get your $ back. If someone plays J3o against me and gets lucky, I DEFINITELY hope he plays it next time.

Who knows, if enough people compliment him, maybe he'll adopt J3 as his "lucky" hand!

Plus, the first person to say "nice hand" is also usually the one thinking "wtf was he doing playing that crap?" Which gives you an insight into who at the table might actually know how to play. It's a win-win.
