Re: ridiculing the fish
[ QUOTE ]
I didn't vote because there is NO valid reason to critcize a bad player...I've been watching it happen (in B&M casinos) for 40 years....Bad News: the people who do it will never change [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Some people do change. When I started playing poker I figured that if anybody ever made a play and it ended up costing me it was my duty to remind him that. Since than I have learned to stop and rarely if ever use chat. The only time I ever get in arguements with people is as a joke where I make ridiculous statments, or occasionsly if I am on mega-tilt. |

Re: ridiculing the fish
I have never understood why someone would want a fish to start playing better. Now that whole telling them about 2+2 thing aside (because I think its a stupid argument), why would you berate someone to play better?

[/ QUOTE ] Ever come across a post here that says something to the effect of: there are too many fish randomizing the $11s and messing my game up, I think I'd do better at the $33s where there are fewer donks? People remember the times that a play they deem stupid costs them equity, but forget the stupid plays that help them out. |

Re: ridiculing the fish
Come'on. Everyone knows the real reason people make fun of the bad players is because all the cool kids are doing it. Cool kids = always right.

Re: ridiculing the fish
In a recent SNG, someone made a min-raise from EP, another player pushed and EP folded. I commented: "min-raises aren't getting much respect". A few hands later there were two limpers then someone pushed and both limpers folded. I commented: "limpers aren't getting any respect either". Does this qualify as ridicule?

Re: ridiculing the fish
Dude I could show you guys a bazillion hands where the player played stupid and I was super happy about it. Ask Bones...I've IMed him like 20 today already. Fortunately I'm running goot and have won 18 of em.
But yeah, don't criticize fish. It's bad business, and most of all it makes you an [censored]. |

[/ QUOTE ] No, I read your comments as humorous observations. Not sure I would have given you a lol, but it was at least worth a quiet smile. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] |
