Tapping the tank and educating in the chat box
Annoys me so much. If someone calls a 4-bet for their entire stack with KJ and gets lucky, don't start calling them a fish in the chat box, telling them that calling 40bb off with KJ is a bad play long term, etc.
Just saw exactly what I've described in the rebuy open from a regular on the site, who should know better than to
1) Educate the people who are going to be profitable to play against long term whilst sat at the table with them.
2) Abuse people in the chat box.
3) Have such bad manners considering everyone on here is over 18 and is supposed to be mature and know better.
Why the hell do people do this? Abusing and educating losing players at the table is stupidity at it's finest.
Rant over.

Yes you have morals bla bla bla you've brought it to the attention of the community zzzzz.
Sometimes people get tilted and say stuff, happens.
I think most people has at sometime said something maybe they regret in the chatbox after taking a bad beat at an important situation ,(which this was).
Nothing i read was that bad , sarcastic maybe ,rude no.
I think maybe you insinuating that the player in question is a fish/losing player on this forum is just as bad as what was said.
It may not have been the worst abuse ever at a table, but nonetheless, it's still unnecessary. What does tapping the tank and telling the villain they did something wrong achieve? Either the villain thinks "This community aren't very nice, I'm going to play on another site instead", or they remember that someone abused them for getting 40bb in with KJ and don't make the same bad play next time.
Either way, it achieves nothing.
Also, I'm not saying that the player in question is a fish - Even if I was, then I haven't named the villain, so I don't see any issue. Yes, they did one thing which was a bit fishy, and in hindsight, they would probably admit that themselves.
My problem is that if the player who loses the hand perceives that player as being a fish, then why on earth would you tell them and abuse them about it?
Also, never educate anyone how to play poker, every time someone posts in the poker clinic, teaches someone how to play etc, its like burning money.
lol -
Wasn't me was it Pingu? Think I may have reacted to a beat where the guy made trip J's when I had him dominated not long before the bubble, but don't think I said anything out of turn.
People like Ryan and the rest of "team awesome" benefit innit
Seriously tho, I see why Beane calls AJS selfish alot now. Obviously, playing poker professionally means you have to make as much money as possible, i see that, but there is no need to be completely heartless.
As for tapping the tank,i used to call people fish alot but then i realised i was being hypocritical :)also the forum helped me chill abit because i didnt no about variance and i,d blame others bad play now it hardly bothers me.
AJS is better off not posting at all if this is how he feels about others helping each other,stick to grinding and making easy money.
When I here people talking about poker its like they are a living in a fantasy land where everyone wins. Listen to channel 865 they give the impression that everones a winner.
The reality of it is for you to BREAK EVEN there is a lot of people losing a lot of money.
If everyone followed the forums advice in just bankroll management the site would be dead within weeks.
People who make money out of poker be it working for sky or pros. Do so from people spending a lot of money.
Whenever I write something on here I put it how it is. People might not like hearing that this site, the employees wages, the pros winnings. All come from a lot of people spending a lot of money. In a minority of cases spending money they cant afford. This is the reality.
