I never defend my play. I never explain myself. I am seldom criticized or called a fish; but, when I am, I apologize and say I was listening to the Grateful Dead and got distracted.

Sometime later I might ask "coach, how was my playing". Normally I like to keep below the radar and give as little information on myself as possible....

I want their money not their good opinion of me.

I don't remember the hand, but I suspect it was something like me drawing to my flush on the river:

Abusive: focking moron, everytime the morons suck out
Me: ty, nh
Abusive: idiot

Next hand starts.

Clueless Idiot: don't get worked up about it; just take his money
Abusive: yeah - just too many focking morons on Party
Clueless Idiot: stupid play loses money

I lose next hand when I fold the turn HU.

Abusive: great, well-played
Me: ty
Abusive: I love it when focking morons lose their money
Me: ty
Bystander: be nice

Abusive, with ~$250 at a 2/4 table, rebuys and now has ~$550 at the table.

Me: dude, you're the chip leader.
Me: Awesome!
Abusive: What, have you lost all your money moron?

I win a hand when someone folds to my turn bet.

Abusive: How can you fold to a focking moron?
Abusive: he's a moron - don't fold, just take his money.
Me: ty
Me: and its spelt "moran" genuis

[pause]

Clueless Idiot: OMG you're an idiot
Clueless Idiot: it is not
Clueless Idiot: it is not "moran" it is "moron" moron
Abusive: lmao, I guess there's no getting under your skin
Abusive: hoped you'd play worse; lots of people do when I jump on them
Me: most players like a friendly atmosphere
Clueless Idiot: you are sooo retarded

Some 3 or 4 hands later.

Clueless Idiot: and its "genius" not "genuis"
Clueless Idiot: Classic -- "its spelt moran genuis"

Over the course of 45 minutes or so, I actually chat a bit about non-poker things, in just about all cases using correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar (or correcting it right away). "Abusive" has not berated me or any other players at the table since the initial exchanges.

Then I take down a big pot from Clueless Idiot.

Clueless Idiot: lol, even "morans" gotta win I guess
Clueless Idiot: "its spelt moran genuis"
Clueless Idiot: what a classic
Clueless Idiot: you are so retarded
Clueless Idiot: unbelievable

I'd still probably fold preflop.

But the rest is just fine. NH.

The PF call is fine. I'd probably limp as weak as 53s here, and I consider 43s slightly stronger. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

How is 43s stronger than 53s? I mean, neither is great, but either one can only make straights from A-5 up to 3-7, so 53s is stronger just based on a higher card, right? Or am I missing something?

Thanks!

so it's not a disastrous pre-flop call

At a very loose passive table like this is would almost be a sin not to play this from the CO.

taunting is much more fun in live games

I was playing 3/6, it was a superweak table, always 4handed or more, about 60% of the time it was 6,7,8 handed

i get KK in the CO raise 2limpers, its about 3hrs into the session same players, get called by the big blind(very weak player on his 3/4th rebuy at this point), 4handed to the flop(they were a little tighter against me) it was rags, and checked to me I bet, BBcalls as does 1limper, turn another rag checked again to me, I bet only the BB calls, river is another blank check,bet,call .. BB flips over AA to my dismay

I stack off 12chips(bare minimum extra he coulda won from me), ask the guy's name and address and tell him I'll mail him the rest of his pot if he ever grows some balls

Speaking of fish, last night this total ass at one table starts calling everyone fish. Now, there were indeed some fish at the table, but this guy was knocking some of the tighter players as well. He is the villian in the following hand, and fish is one of the players he was haranguing, an LA-P with 65%/20%/0.8.

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $1.5.
UTG calls, 1 fold, MP3: (villian) calls, CO (poster) checks, 2 folds, BB: (fish) raises, UTG calls, MP3: (villian) calls, CO calls.

[bystander]: (sitting out) going to put [villian] on my buddy list
[bystander]: I took a lot of his chips
UTG: lol
[bystander]: (upon seeing the PF raise) woohoo!

Flop: (9 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (6 players)
fish bets, UTG calls, villian raises, CO folds, fish calls, UTG calls.

Turn: (7.50 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (5 players)
fish bets, UTG folds, villian calls.

River: (9.50 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
fish bets, villian raises, fish 3-bets, villian caps, fish calls.

Final Pot: 17.50 BB

Results in white below: 
fish has 7d 7c (full house, sevens full of nines).
MP1 doesn't show.
MP2 doesn't show.
villian has 9s Js (three of a kind, nines).
Outcome: fish wins 17.50 BB. 

[Villian] has left the table.
