Are you called a fish?

[BobboFitos]

hey, your poll isnt working!

And yes, people think I'm a fish. Sometimes I am, I guess.

edit: Im a nice person. But online especially somehow I often end up having the table hate me + round up to "play back at the bully" type deal. It's pretty interesting how it happens.

I got called a fish on three different tables within 5 minutes yesterday haha.

It happens everyday. They don't understand semi-bluffs or pot odds.

OMG HOW CAN YOU CALL DOWN WITH A FLUSH DRAW?!?

Well... you were giving me 8-1 odds with your stupid little bets.

lol. How can you call with a gutshot. I had a set!!
Well, you didnt bet.

I got absolutely blasted on a table a few days ago for pushing AK of clubs on a flop of 4c2c9s

I hit my K and the TT all in against me lost. He didn't seem to understand that he was not ahead with his TT. I was a fish for thinking AKs was ahead of TT on that flop too, haha.

this is the stuff i'm talking about.. why would you take the time to educate this person and everyone else at the table that you were ahead on the flop?

[ahnuld]

I dont think he did. At least, I wouldnt and I agree that people who do suck.

I kept quiet for a long time, but they constantly were berating me so I decided to get under their skin, I find it is a way to get people "gunning" for you which I believe is VERY +EV.

I also sometimes tell people hearts are the suit most likely to hit a flop that's why I always play suited hearts no matter what.

I think just about everyone playing poker on the internet gets called fish pretty frequently. That's because people are rude bastards.

Pretty much everytime I push allin with a draw I get called a fish. Especially funny once when I pushed allin with AQo on Qxx(all same suit as my A) just because I thought I had him, he flips over a flopped flush, and turn comes A, river Q. Man 2 people were all over me the rest of the night, I loved it.

Yeah, I got called a fish at a 1/2 NL the other day when I tried to bluff a guy who was obviously chasing the hell out of a flush when, doink, a third card came up on the river. I had been plucking apart the table until then. Then I called a mini-raise that had been called around the table with 42o from the BB, hit a full house, and won all my $$ back. Got called a fish again. What can you do? Not all of us are going to sit around and wait for the sets and straights to come. [censored] them. [censored] them in the ear.

I think that the real question should be how many fish don't know they are fish? What percentage of them flap and flop around on the felt waiting to be stabbed by some mighty fine LAG and TAG play? How many people still think that a "fish" is a LAG? How many LAGs would ever want such deception to ever change? Am I a fish?
