I hate my opponents

[Muck off]

oh i fully hate my oppenets, but it comes the fact that players are so cheesy now. everyone just stepped away from the tv and they talk just like they have...last nite at lucky chances 1-1-2 nl(basically a glorified 3-6) i raised to 12 with AK suited, guy raises to 24, i jam pot for another 80 and he calls instantly with pckt 2 and flops a set over my tptk..when i say he called real quik for just having 2's he sez oh i put u on ak...yah right a-hole

You ever seen those guys that get so mad they type out "I hope your mother gets hit by a bus you c*ck sucker". These people need anger management.

...though I know I shouldn't. When I finnish a 1000 hand session in the negative, review my big loosers, and they're all to miraculous runner-runner gutshots and 2 outers after calling 2-3 cold on the flop, I want to put these idiots on trial and have them publicly declared imbeciles, shamed before their peers, yada yada yada. The contempt I feel sometimes really suprises me, though I have always been highly competitive. I can't get my head around the paradox that it's because people can win in the short-term at poker while playing retarded that I can win in the long-term while playing smart. I would give up 25% of my profits to experience 50% less varience. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I know the feeling. I have have recently entered the inevitable downswing after running way too well recently. It's such a test of your internal fortitude when you're getting hit with not just one suckout, many in a row and then going card dead.

But I think it was Negranau who said he always makes sure to smile and congratulate the people who suckout on him - much like a casino makes a big deal and congratulates a customer who hits a slot jackpot. It's simply good business and reinforces their bad behavior.

I've always got to give them a "NH" when their J6s beats my flopped set with a runner runner flush. It makes me laugh a little when they say "thank you" too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Well he hasn't gotten dealt a high pocket pair yet, so how could you have? And raising like this is how someone plays AK, and if you have AK then his 22 is almost the same as having QQ, and he's definitely not laying down QQ preflop....This is what goes on in the minds of my opponents. My other favorite is the raising to $8 on a $2 BB and getting a caller who rivers a flush when he called with J7s. "Who knows the flop could be 89T or all spades, then I'd be a lock. and if I dont get a good flop, it only cost me $8." Ok....

If they are peers they wouldn't be shamed since they would probably think and act the same way. Reminds me of what my father said when called to jury duty, the defense lawyer asked him if he believed a person had a right to a trail by his peers and Dad replied well you better get someone else because I am not a criminal.

While hate is a strong word, I kind of dislike many of my opponents online. The main reason for this feeling is that I often don't think they are playing "seriously". This has nothing to do with Tight/Loose. I sometimes think they are just throwing in chips to see what happens. In the very long run I will probably make a profit, but it takes away
from the joy of playing,at least for me.

My favorite is in a limit game, I raise preflop, and get 3bet by some joker with 66. Then they say, "I knew you had AK." [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

considering we believe in "innocent until proven guilty," wasn't it a bit presumptive for your father to believe the defendant was a criminal BEFORE the trial?

call them bad names then educate them why the odds are so stacked agaisnt them or tell them what a great call they made to win that pot and smile to your self and patenitly wait your turn to clean them out. even blind a squriel finds a nut here and there other wise they would surely die away then what you do ? personally i pefer to call these type players my little piggy banks (though they can be frustating). wow hit that inside draw on the river man i wish i could do that.good hand. oops you lost 3 draws in a row? dont worry about it. bet you hit the next.oh by the way the bets a 100 to go you in? yea i thought so
