ridiculing the fish
Why on God's green earth do people ridicule the fish?
Driving them away from the tables. It completely baffles me. |

Re: ridiculing the fish
Good post, Hyde. I play low limits and cheap SNGs and see this too often. Usually I let the first comment or two slide. But more than that, and I post something like "If you're so great, why aren't you playing 20-40 and trying to win some real money?" And if I get a reply to that, I post "If you were really a poker genius, you wouldn't be pissing on the people who are building the pots you're trying to win." The second comment usually gets the a-hole to leave the table.

Re: ridiculing the fish
I didn't vote because there is NO valid reason to critcize a bad player...I've been watching it happen (in B&M casinos) for 40 years....Bad News: the people who do it will never change [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

When I started playing poker I figured that if anybody ever made a play and it ended up costing me it was my duty to remind him that. Since than I have learned to stop and rarely if ever use chat. The only time I ever get in arguements with people is as a joke where I make ridiculous statments, or occasionsly if I am on mega-tilt. |

Re: ridiculing the fish
I have never understood why someone would want a fish to start playing better. Now that whole telling them about 2+2 thing aside (because I think its a stupid argument), why would you berate someone to play better?

[/ QUOTE ] Ever come across a post here that says something to the effect of: there are too many fish randomizing the $11s and messing my game up, I think I'd do better at the $33s where there are fewer donks? People remember the times that a play they deem stupid costs them equity, but forget the stupid plays that help them out. |

Re: ridiculing the fish
Come'on. Everyone knows the real reason people make fun of the bad players is because all the cool kids are doing it. Cool kids = always right.
