Why complain?

edited December 2010 in Poker Chat
 I have noticed a few people complain about 'bad' players on this sight. Why complain?
 Ok every so often they call you all the way down to the river and hit it happens but not as often as your selective memories seem to think.
 Rather than complain try to take their chips. When you have a hand bet, bet and bet again if they call all the way to the river and fail to hit they fold or call you light! Simple.
 The same people call raises with rag aces and will call you all the way if they hit their top pair and sometimes bottom pair. Try to spot these players and take advantage but be aware not to over bluff them though or yes they will still call you light and you will lose chips and will then feel the need to come on to the forum and complain about bad players! :)

    i`ve asked a question about these players that are calling stations and seem to hit on river, all i got was another bad beat story zzzzzzzzzzzzz. and all i asked was how can you bet these players out even though you know you have best hand, even going all in with e.g - j/9 you have 2 pair they have 5 and hit river with k for hgher two pair, even though it was question i still ridiculed, and no answer to my question

     Yes but what Im saying just remember how many times you have gone deep because some people cant put drawing hands and other small hands down! Concentrate on the positives of playing that type of player not the negatives!

    Donut - that name has a certain ring to it - is so right.

    It says much about so many poker players that they complain about players who are worse than them. Only in poker could that happen. You have to wonder exactly what is between their ears.

    About 20% of the questions on "Ask tikay" are players complaining that "Sky Poker is full of absolutely terrible players, I'm off". I never know quite what to say to them, really. I know what I think, but that'd probably be a tad off message to actually put in writing.

    I mean, really, you could not make it up, could you?

    "You are so bad I don't want to play you for money". Hmm. 

    An acquaintance on another Forum told me "Sky Poker is the softest site in the world, all the players are utterly hopeless, but I don't like the software, so I don't play there". He is busto, & has to be staked to play, but he does not play these "hopeless" players, as he does not like the software......

    If that's the case scrap those suggested improvements I posted.
     
    It looks like the software is providing me a certain degree of protection :)
