Default Wow, it feels good to say \"Good play\"

I often berate my opponents when a horrible call or bad beat comes. But today after losing with AA to A8 in an aweful play by his part...

I simply said...Good play.
And he simply said...Thank you.
...And now I am happy and I feel great.

God I wish everyone would do this. I have no idea what drives certain people to constantly tap the aquarium.

I think I may have just figured it out. When you were say, like 3 or 4 years old, and encountered a fish tank, or, better yet, were actually taken to the acquarium, what did you want to do? Me? I wanted to tap it, but I grew up. Aw hell, I still want to tap it, but I know better now, so I don't.

I never berate players, I try to stay cool and calm. I just say GG and leave, why let them know that they did something dumb.

Getting angry just makes me play worse.

whenever I lose to a badbeat, I never "tap the aquarium."

I just love that line. I'd pay money if someone could show me an HH where it was effectively used. Instead, I think I'll post one. Coming Attraction...

fish don't learn.

you don't complain, or intelligently discuss plays, because 1. it's bad for your table image.
2. it shows youre a pussy.

I'm guilty of using overusing exclamation points to express sarcasm. Case 1:

- 3 handed. Fishie McWhineWhine is all-in. I call with KQ, McWW shows A5, and I win the ensuing coin-flip. McWW sez, "I had an over, I was 2 to 1 you XXXXing FISH." I reply, "wow, tanks for the tip! i just got lucky! my bad! gg! gl! i put you on J high!"
