Overuse of "Fish"+you are not that great at poker so get over yourself

[Los Feliz Slim]

There needs to be a word for competent, but not anywhere near professional, poker players like myself.

If bad players are fish and pros are sharks, then maybe I can be a turtle. That sounds pretty pussyish though. Stingray? No, that's lame. I got nothing here.

Los F. Slim,

The accepted term is DONKEY.

Manatee. You're a manatee.

Or a grouper.

If you didn't have the "27" at the end of your handle, you'd have the best handle at 2+2.

[EnderW27]

I'm the 27th in the line of succession.

It is starting to bug me.

People make posts saying "What are the fish like in XXX casino?" or "Is Stars as fishy as Party" or stupid [censored] like "I feel bad taking money from the fish because they have no shot against me.

1. You sound like a stupid poserboy WPT wannabe loser when every post you make has the word "fish" in it.

2. With the exception of a few dozen posters out of the 40,000 on this site, you are not that [censored] good at poker. Get a reality check. A braindead grandmother can beat the party 1/2, you are not [censored] doyle brunson or spirit rock or James282 or bicyclekick (unless you are).

Warmly,
Tony

Good points there...
1. Stop calling people fish when you play 1/2.
2. Anyone can beat 1/2 it is full of fish.

Besides, donkey is the new fish, no jopke.

Barracuda is the proper term... you eat most fish, but the sharks can still eat you.
