2+2 behaving badly

johnnyhearts · #1 08-22-2003, 05:25 PM

I am encouraging all players that have viewed 2+2 authors behaving badly(ie. tilting, making negative EV plays, berating players, etc.) in poker games to post these experiences on 2+2. Lets unmask them, gentlemen of leisure. I personally have viewed none other than Alan Schoonmaker being quite rude to very liberal minded action goofs in the 2-6 spread limit game at the Excaliber!!!

Is there any point to this post other than a nasty desire to hurt people?

Who cares?

I found my way here for the purpose of deepening my understanding of and improving my poker. The observation and gossiping about and of the personal behavior and attitude of others does not lend itself to this end.

Peace,
Angel

While many of us would say it with much more class, I know that I speak for much of our community when I say, go screw yourself. We don't tolerate this third grade nonsense here.

When people consistently behave in ways to kill action in my game I don't appreciate it. When they themselves have published books which are explicitly about mental attitude with respect to poker and they are going totally against their own advice while killing action in my game I might call them on it.

Maybe you could be the "mature" one and take this up directly with the perpetrator instead of anonymously posting some garbage

Hi Johnny:

You'll still need to purchase and study our books if you want to improve your game.

Best wishes,
Mason

Thank you for your response Mr. Malmuth and I appreciate your advice. Are there any books that address advanced techniques for convincing insulted and pissed off action yahoos to sit back down in your game after racking up in a huff?

Why do you specifically call them "very liberal minded" action players? I'm not trying to insinuate anything, but it seems like there's more to this story than Al just killing the action at your table.

I give up.
