Default Re: Accused of being noob....am I THAT bad?

Personally, I like the 'I'm sorry' line. It reenforces his opponent's opinion that he is a good player who played the hand well and the OP is a bad player who played the hand badly. That's got to be good for future hands.

There's also a psychological aspect of it, I think, at least to a recreational player sitting at the table. OP paints himself as being "the nice guy", which I believe buys some folding equity in future hands. After all, nice guys wouldn't try to bluff, would they?

I apologize for "sucking out" routinely on the tables, even when it should be obvious to anyone present that my opponent misplayed his hand terribly. Honestly, I fail to see how anything bad could come out of that, at least in an online environment.
