Re: so many regular 2+2 posters
What's a fish?
Never mind.... I looked it up in the dictionary and it had a picture of a T-bone steak. Also some obscure reference to avatar or some-such. Good to see you posting Shake!

Re: so many regular 2+2 posters
[ QUOTE ]
There always seems to be one ass at the table that starts with " Is the Player to your Left a Fish? ...." [/ QUOTE ] I sometimes reply with "Yes, <player to my left> is terrible". Other times I reply with "Yeah, last game when I check raised the flop he should have dumped his top pair low kicker. He doesn't know that pokerprohecy says I've got a 44% ITM at this level, and that pretty soon if he doesn't start pushing on the bubble he is going to lose a lot of money, mostly he should be pushing any two face cards or suited connecters, pocket pairs down to 66, but he hasn't, and it shows because I know his ROI is pretty low and he needs to improve his game by looking at lots of poker books such as Harrington on Holdem, etc." That gets a good laugh.

Re: so many regular 2+2 posters
Well, but what would you do in this case:
You have 22 UTG, 4 left. All stacks are around 3500. You push, it's a tight table. The BB (he has 60 less than you)thinks...and thinks...and thinks...it goes to 55 seconds...50...40...24...CALL! He has AA! Guess what, you catch the deuce on the river. I mean, I just have to say something to the Thinker, who even "lol" me at the flop. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I mean...if this makes him call quickly next time in same situation, that's fine, isn't it?

I used to be a good loser until ...
I saw a very well respected 2+2er berate the hell outta this guy in a mtt. I was like hey, he's good I'm gonna be lik him and explode every time I get unlucky against a bad play. So I started berating. Then I just felt bad about it, and I rediscoverded all the other reasons why it's bad to discourage bad players from coming back so I stopped the berate parade. This post should really help the cause as a very well respeted poster has hopefully set a very good example.
NH curtains, you fish!

Re: so many regular 2+2 posters
Agreed. I think whoever does this needs to go the opposite route:
Say "good game, and good luck" and then fire up another SnG. I've seen people I play with react nicely to me and once in a while let me steal off of them because I was nice. (it's happened twice but it was nice) Don't mention 2+2, don't teach them how to play, be nice, don't be sarcastic and wish them luck. They are having fun, let them have it.
