Default Fish I understand... weak sharks I can\'t...

I completely understand fish. They are there to have fun and look at it as gambling.

What I can't understand are weak sharks that don't have the heart to take the money of the fish.

I'm a super nice guy in real life... but I've never felt bad for taking someone's money at the table.

If you don't have the heart to crush a fish then you don't have the heart for poker.

I wouldn't even put them in a category of any shark. Not even weak. Well, maybe a nurse shark.

The edge one has in a game just isn't big enough to let the weak players off lightly. Don't complain when you hit a bad streak after you've GIVEN away bets (and in some cases whole pots) in prior hands to the weak mopes because you feel 'sorry' for them.

A horrendous downswing is usually a good cure for this. Then you'll realize just how much those bets add up that you let them off on over and over.
