I never answered the question by BUFC, later bumped by glenelg, about ther Micro Sats. I was busy last night, & in truth did not know the answer, either.

Has this been resolved, or is the question still valid?

Can't this bloomin' table break already? One player is a right moaning minnie, I outdrew him twice and he was at it, site was rigged etc. then when he outdrew me - nothing. Not very often I don't enjoy a game of poker, this one was one of those times.

This, to me, is a fascinating Post.
 
On my "regular" Tables, there are 2 or 3 guys who, literally, never stop moaning & chuntering. Every hand they lose "bla bla bla", when they win, nothing. They bust out, "I'm sick of Sky".

I always wonder if they actually enjoy their poker. Would you or I play the game if it took us like that? I doubt it. I genuinely look forward to a poker session, always have. The day I don't, I'll be gone, lots of stuff on the Bucket List still need ticking.
 
Now't odd as us folk, eh?

Slight hijack here:

I reckon at least part of the reason that this kind of thing happens is that there are many players who feel poker is an easy way to a quick buck. They have heard a lot of stories about others rising up through the ranks from nothing and winning big, and they think it could - and should - happen to them. They become frustrated when their dream is derailed and take it out on everyone present.

Of course, most of us know that poker is rarely easy money, and even the greatest players - those who obviously make their living playing - never take it lightly, because the riches can disappear far more quickly than they arrived.

first time for a while saw some obscene chatter - and it was in this freeroll

and as he knew how to get it through the filter obv not his first time

basically berating a player for knocking him out - "YOU XXXXING FISH" etc etc

seems like the berated was happy to get it in light as it was a freeroll

but the berater wasn't happy with this response as there were some good prizes available

I warned him on his language, but he continued, and finally the berated announced that he had been reported

"SO YOU ARE A SNEEK AS WELL AS A XXXXING FISH" came the retort

PS congrats shoegoal

and Sky for making this available (came 127/2200 - close but no cigar - at least i outlasted borin & gazza)

Yeah, those who sling mud can rarely spell correctly.

Really like Slipwater's point here

So many people see poker as something easy, either because they've seen stuff on the tele (and let me tell you poker decision making is so much easier on those shows, WHEN YOU CAN SEE YOUR OPPONENTS CARDS!!), but more likely they have no respect for the people they play against.

Many poker terms have entered general usage like SICK or FISH, but for me the one that should be more regularly used and understood is BRUTAL. The game is that, you can make perfect decisions preflop, on flop, on turn and still be crushed by the river, and that takes no account of the other factor involved, being OUTPLAYED. And that, believe it or not, happens to even the best.

The game is BRUTAL, because luck, or variance, plays such a large part. The cards, you see, like that little ball in roulette, have no memory. The cards don't know (or care) that you have already been outsrawn 3 times this session, or you are losing 4 out of 5  flips this week, or you are being starved of AA and KK, or that the odds of you recieving 23 offsuit is exactly the same as recieving AK offsuit, yet you keep seeing 23 !

I know many players at club level whose game i respect and i know is far better and more consistent than my own, yet they remain subject to the same BRUTLITIES as myself.

One thing i like to do when i percieve (note that percieve) i am running bad (its difficult sometimes to differentiate between running bad and playing bad at my level of ability), is look at the sharkscopes of successful players, and within that financial upward drive, you will see steady, long term, sometimes spectacular declines over weeks/months sometimes years. Why is this? Because even the best are subject to variance, and that is something the beginner and the entitled do not, or refuse to understand.

Finally, welldone Shoeglue. Personally i went out in 135th when i shoved with AQ and got called by some ***** with KJ the ******* who clearly had no understanding of pot odds or ICM and hits K4K on the flop. Honestly its so unfair and i am so brilliant and no one gets my game and.................
