No crying in baseball, not true for HOLD'EM!

[Bigdogg]

I just get irritated with the sheer number of players who have no clue on how to play the game.

It really ticks me off when they luck into a straight or flush on the river card when the stayed in with a 7-4 unsuited in the pocket.

Oh yeah no crying ... sorry

 

[gambler1]

Don't they call it "hold 'em" because after you quit playing their holding all your money? As for crying in baseball after 100 years Cub and Boston fans are all cried out.

I think bitching is o.k. if you know you totally outplayed someone and they draw out on you. for some I'm sure it is just a way to blow off the steam. Poker is an individual sport and everbody handles situations differently. As long as it is not vulgar or directly aimed at some one so be it.

I hear ya and somewhat agree, but sometimes the players go overboard.

Many times it effects how they play later hands too.

 

[levistep]

I like to go straight to the death threats rather than crying. I've played like 200k hands and i've probably made 20 or so death threats while i've only recieved one or two.

 

[WharfRat+]

When someone is berating someone for bad play online, I like to say 'don't tap the glass'. When they figure it out, they usually shut up.

You've got to embrace bad play b/c in the long run, if you are a good player, you will benefit from people chasing and hitting their inside straight draws.

No crying allowed on suspended games in baseball for bad beats associated .......


with the rules.

 

[Railbird]

agree Fish.

on the poker thing. They tend not to have athletic back grounds so they cant handle adversity, and are very insecure. and dont know what it is to compete.

Interesting opinion, and one I may agree with.
