    I dont usually get annoyed at hands but this hand annoyed me. Only because the villain took absolutely ages to make the river call as if he had a decision... just think its bad etiquette.

    Unlucky mate - think this was likely multi tabling rather than a deliberate slowroll though. 

    Even if it was, can't let it tilt you, as on a small site like this some players will twig and use it against you to make you tilt off - bit of a grey area tactic but as they say it's a jungle out there

    Lowfields berated me in chat recently for a call I made vs a weaker player, openly calling the player a fish in chat. Used my go to move and offered him heads up, obviously this was quickly declined.

    Wouldn't be surprised if it was a slowroll, but don't let poor etiquette from bad regs annoy you mate. 

    Good luck this week at the tables.

    Do lower stakes cash regs on sky have etiquette? It may have existed in the past but angle shooting, chat berating and other things are prevalent on modern day sky do exist. OP is skating on thin ground imo, I have seen him hit and run, button and change seats in game to take position on recs. Personally, I never used to do these things but now with certain players won't think twice about it. With other regs such as splashies who always takes action, I would never dream of stooping that low. The geezer is a class act and will play anyone. 

    With regards to chat, poker affects people in different ways and can make a normal person quite spikey. Try not to let it get to you, most regs do.

    It was definitely a slowroll, he joked about it in the chat box after. Yeah I agree just got to carry on I guess, thanks for the advice.

    Yeah I can understand heated words in the chat box more than slowrolling someone, but yeah I agree, sometimes easier said than done not to get annoyed but we move on. Thank you, gl to you too.

    I think etiquette still exists and should..It can get heated in the chat box at times which I don't mind as much but slowrolling etc is just plain bad etiquette. Im no exception to making comments in the chat box now and then but I try my best not to. I haven't really noticed any regs hit and run...plus they will be back at the tables at some point so it doesn't bother me as much. Hit and runs are only bad when a player doubles up and then never returns imo. I've had instances when I have already pressed the stand button and doubled up on my last hand of the session which has nothing to do with my opponent. I try my best to stay 5-10 minutes longer on the table if I have doubled up against someone but can't always be done. Yeah i try my best not to let it get to me, thanks for your post

    Good evening all,
    I was directed towards this thread by one of the regs at the tables this evening (who shall remain nameless) who thought it was amusing, as did some others........
    Anyway, Hamza - apologies and hands up, it was a slow roll 100%, we had had words 5 minutes earlier in chat, when IMHO you had played a hand pretty badly and got a runner runner miracle to stack me, it happens, and I shouldnt of bit.
    So yes, the slowroll was payback, and was intended as mentioned to enable some tilt in yourself.
    Again, apologies.

    Kimdong - we also had a few "words" in chat didnt we, and yes you did offer me to HU, which as i said at the time, isnt exactly original, and when youre playing 10 tables of 6max, why would you shut them down to play HU? (especially when HU is not your game), but by the end of the "chat" we were having a laugh and seemed ok.

    Acegooner - "skating on thin ground" - well where do we begin here....... The last time I spoke to you, you were playing on your mobile on the coach going to Preston to watch Arsenal in the FA cup, and the chat was friendly and fine, talked about Denton etc, wished you luck and to enjoy your day, weve never had crossed words since?
    You say I hit and run? errrrrrr, no I dont, never have, the incident you are harping on about is about a year old now, we were on a table that suddenly died, and we were the only ones left, I clicked "stand" as you do, and the last hand i was dealt a strong hand on the button, you folded your blind, and I took it and left, whats "hit and run" about that? should I just limp a good hand in position and let you see a free flop?? you then went on and on about it on the other table we were playing, seriously, WTF?
    You say I get postion on weaker players? Yes, absolutely 110%, why the hell wouldnt you?? This is low stakes cash play, you take every advantage you can take, why would you sit out of position to the fish?

    Anyway, hope this explanation helps, GL at the tables chaps.

    (TBH, im a bit disappointed, I expected a lot more abuse than I got.)

    Perhaps it is me that has become confused - it has been known - but Acegooner referred to the "OP" as skating on thin ice. The OP is not you, it's the Diary author.

    Either way, life's too short guys, just move on.

    Thought he was referring to kimdongun myself but might be confused as well! 
    Ultimately there are some "grey areas" in poker, which may increase your winrate but lose you some friends and it's up to each player where they set their line. if you want to maximise your winrate you can use every edge out there (within the rules). 
    But it's like des'ree said: "money don't make my world go round, I'm reaching out to a higher ground"

    Ha, glad it is just not me that is confused.

    Always makes me a little sad when players fall out over poker. That's not the idea of the game at all.

    Whoops.

    Looks like I owe Acegooner an apology in that case, probably came charging in as someone had mentioned in the chat about Gonners comment "skating on thin  ground".
    Thought it a bit strange as like I say, last time we spoke it was good natured.

    Anyway, GL all......

    Been a brutal week for cash, probably the worst I've had in a while..a combination of tilt and run bad means I end the month on a low which is annoying, not even sure if I'm in profit. Will post updates with figures later today.

    Yes was a misunderstanding OP refers to original poster, I didn't mean you but I love Matt Bates banter. Very funny for a shorty !

    Poker can be a spiky game, doesnt make us nasty people away from the tables (well I hope not). My problem is those who actually form their opinions from what happens on a poker table. Now that is sad!!!

    I see in your results you post your poker points, Ive been playing at sky for a few years, and never really took any notice of them, but it seems I have 110,000, can I use these for anything worthwhile?

    You have already "used them", in that we get paid each week for earning these poker points. Once we have received that cash (&/or entitlement to join Freerolls & the like) the points are "spent" & have no further use or value.
