Default The dude who cried when his K high flush lost

Did anyone feel bad for this guy? " I played perfectly for 3 days" Give me a break. Do you want your mommy? Maybe David William's mom can bring you some milk and cookies to make you feel better.
Be a man. You're playing poker not tiddly winks.

I don't think he was actually crying, as there were no tears or anything like that which normally accompanies "crying". Either way, poker is poker and you can't win EVERY pot you're in. Plus he didn't bust, but still, he should take it a little better.

How about...

"You're playing poker, not touching your dinky and having mommy yell at you for it"?

The guy overreacted since he wasn't even eliminated. But, you guys are being too rough on him (in this thread and others).

I'm sure all of us have emotionally invested ourselves in something "unimportant" and then had things go bad.

Dynasty,

It's not unnatural for poker players to show disdain towards un-restrained displays of emotion, whether it be fist-pumping and going wild (and/or twirling seat covers over heads, etc) after winning a hand, or, um crying after losing a hand (much less a hand where you had the 2nd nuts and, like, didn't go broke, so who cares?).

Point is, yeah I kinda feel bad for the kid, but he shouldn't be playing poker if that's he how deals with situations. If he chooses to play anyway, and finds his moment of emotional weakness nationally televized, that's just bad luck for him. We're poker players, we've trained ourselves to an analyze weaknesses, and I don't see why this kid should get a walk. Especially since he didn't go broke. With the 2nd nuts.

After thinking about it, your probably right. When playing for so much, I guess it wouldn't be too hard to lose control of our emotions, and the cameras being there doesn't help.

But you have to admit, it was funny.
