What's it going to take to put the fun back in poker?

Ok enough is enough, too many negative posts lately.

What is it going to take to put the fun back into poker?
Where has all the banter gone?
 I know it's still there......some where. As my team mates know and those that know me I am always laughing at one thing or another.  Bad beats happen, my thinking is to shake it off and move on. Don't let it affect your game. Even if your the short stack don't give up. As long as you have chips your still dangerous. Infact your more dangerous than the larger stacks. My saying is keep your head and pick your spots and time and time again i've seen it come true and they end up with more and more chips.

Come on guys and Girls, lets try and put the fun back in Poker.

I pretty much always enjoy my poker.

I think playing low buy in PLO8 is a good way to invigorate your game if you need to find more fun.

Tiger, have you not seen me on the PLO8 tables?? Have started to become a regular at that now in the league. Apparently owning Mr Geldy and Mr Vespa on thursday. Tbh I was that shattered I can't even remember so my game was not up to usual standards. hahaha

I agree, there's plenty of fun stuff happening in poker that can be discussed. Too much focus on the negative aspects recently. Going to start a few threads today...

Plenty fun to be had, people need to stop taking themselves so seriously, I am not sure I have ever met people with thinner skin. 

Moving from Edinburgh to Glasgow when I was 17 might have had the effect of giving me skin like a rhino, then being called jock and asked if TV had reached us every day in London for about 3yrs probably sealed the deal.

we don't all need to become Mary Poppins, people crossing swords and having some edgy banter is fine, just steer clear of getting too personal and don't go over the top.

 We are grown ups after all....sometimes ;-)
