A fish named kalooki

There seems to be quite alot of snobbery and name calling I seem to find in my short time playing poker. Getting to grips with some of the name calling - i.e fish - a bad player I think. Makes me chuckle when we're on a £2 sit and go table to win a £7 profit and someone gets called a fish, hmmm - does David Becham play sunday football then barrage players with your nor very good abuse no! - Of course we're not very good we're on a £2 table.

Surely we're all somebody's fish unless your Tiger Woods say and he's rubbish at cards I believe. I'm sure there are some top poker players who most of you are fish to. Anyone on their day can hit a card so why give the abuse. I presume the better the player the more lucky you'll get so get over your occasional bad ones and let us fish have our day - we paid our money we take our chance.

ps - I hate players who laugh when they win or thank you for your chips

I love thanking a good fish when they donk their chips to me, it only seems right.

You're mixing with the wrong crowd. Any player who knows his stuff wouldn't dream of calling a lesser skilled player names. It's pointless and un-profitable. If you frequent the forum regularly you will see the term 'don't tap the tank' used from time to time and that is precisely aimed at not insulting lesser players. Poker is a competitive game where egos can rise above their true level, where emotions sometimes run high and where intimidation is an all too frequent tactic. The players with confidence in their own ability won't make remarks like the one's you have outlined so ignore what's said in the chatbox. It's either a wannabe who thinks it's the right way to act or a misplaced tactic employed to make you tilt. Letting this kind of thing upset you is playing into their hands and precisely what they want.

Oh don't get me wrong - I don't get intimidated easily and like to challenge bad manners. I think sometimes mis - interpretations can lead to agro, told a player the other night "that was a good all - in" and he replied 'f u' - managed to clear that one up as someone had been given him grief all day and he thought I was being sarcastic.

Is putting someone on tilt - trying to aggrevate them to play bad? I can go for this but it's the ones who abuse when you've knocked  them out that I hate. I always say gg after win or lose like shaking hands after a football game.

Ok enough s**t from me for now losers (ooops bit early) going to rattle some fish cages and choo choo away.

ps - don't get me wrong - there seems to be alot of good people on here - enjoying it
