Do you take pleasure in watching fish bust?

I ask because tonight I sit at a table, guy has 30 BB and donkfest's his way into 76 BB

Typical stuff, chasing gutshots and 2 outters to the river and spiking many in a row.

Fortunately I was only hit once by this...

anyway, the worm turns into a hook, as it always does to our fishy friends

The guy is sitting on 25 BB and plenty of it has found its way into my stack as well as others at the table.

And like part of me is happy, I feel like he deserves it and all is right with the poker world.

I usually feel bad for the fish if they just go bust fast but if they win I'm rooting for them to go broke.

I'm a bad man.

My favorite poker phenomenon is when the fish like this suck out on the rocks who only play <15% of their hands.

And then pass on their winnings to me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It's hard to feel sorry for someone who caps every street with K9o with a flop of JJJ, which he did.

He just won a 30 BB pot with 73s, hahaha (I folded preflop)

I have recently developed a bad habit. When I have a series of bad suckouts I yell and swear at the fishes. They end up leaving the table. I stay with the TAGs. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Everyone hates me.

Yeah, you should stop doing that.

Do what I do, remain silent but start the "I'm gonna be cracking up when he loses it all!" engine.

It's petty but it keeps me going.

I take pleasure in winning, and when I get someones money I'm happy. But I'm happy because I've made a score in the game. I don't get pleasure because someone else has lost.

Actually, I'm usually a little saddened to see someone bust out. I hope the loss didn't hurt them significantly and that they had fun playing. I hope they're not compulsive gamblers and that they were, and will, continue to play within their means. I wish them well to myself and hope they have good luck soon. Just not against me - at my table.

That's the game - and I'm a player in it, just like everyone else.
