I'm horrible....check out this hand and table chat...

[whiskeytown]

this was just an exceptionally bad table

I flopped nut st8 once, and got run down by 10/4 offsuit who went runner/runner

I had QQ and lost to KK - I had KK and lost to AA

after a while, I just quit...I figured I was good enough to beat it, but ya know....God wouldn't let me...LOL

"whiskeytown: I learned from watching the WPT"

LMAO! Classic.

Yeah I had a run in with someone of the same mental calibur yesterday on Party Poker myself. I was in late position with K 9 suited with no raises behind me. Flop hits X 9 9. Everyone checked and I bet. Everyone folded except for one guy. We play to the river and he was in awe that I beat him with a set of 9's. Insisting that playing K 9 suited was a horrible call and blah, blah, blah...

The only time I ever say anything is when someone makes a horrible call, like reraising me with 8 4 offsuit in early postion. Of course I'lljust say, " you reraised me with that?".

Don't do this. Don't ever, ever, EVER antagonize or question a fish. A fish, like a customer, is always right.

I'm not saying I put them down. I'm just pointing out that the mistake of reraising with 8 4o in early position. Now you might say don't give them any advice but I doubt they'll listen anyway.

Only two things can come of you giving them advice:

1) They don't listen and instead get mad -- not a good thing, despite how many people like to try and put people on tilt. When mad, a fish may play better to spite you, may take shots at you when you least want them to, or may even leave the game.

2) They do listen, even just a little, and play just a little better.


Neither is a good thing. I understand the desire to say "WTF?" at some of this stuff, but what good does it do YOU, personally? Do you really want them to stop playing 84o like a retard? If so, you have a bad understanding of how money is made in poker. If not, then you shouldn't say a word about bad play.

Nothing personal, but this is easily my biggest pet peeve.

I see your point. I would rather they play badly. So I guess I will keep my trap shut and say WTF in the privacy of my home.

Since one fight has already been picked (glad you see it my way Swills -- get some stress balls or something though, I swear my blood pressure is up as a result of keeping my mouth shut), may as well pick another.

If you're playing shy because God/variance/LadyLuck doesn't like you today, then you're on tilt and need to stop playing -- you definitely shouldn't keep playing in weak-tight mode.

Yeah just use 'nh' instead of insulting people.
This may induce them to play in the same predictable manner. Predictable is good.

nh = WTF?!
nh = You played THAT?!
nh = You suck!
nh = frickin suckout!
nh = nice hand (for those royals or straight flushes)

Excellent idea! I'll use that in chat and get me a puching bag hung right next to my computer. I think I'll name the punching bag Bad Beat.

sthief, that actually made me laugh out loud. out of curiosity, what are all the errors you see?

i see:

fold preflop
bet out flop (or c/r?)
bet out turn (or c/r?)
obviously he missed a raise on the river

TIA,
