Title: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: thetank on August 02, 2006, 12:08:48 PM Today, I've got the chat windows open special to try to catch some nuggets after a player has lost chips that they feel were pushed the wrong way.
I thought a thread of some of the wierd and wonderful things people say after you outdraw them at cards might be in order. I don't really have anything at the moment which springs to mind. Some guy did just say.... "ffs, ur so lucky" .....in the chat box. I think we're all agreed that this is neither wierd nor wonderful. But in the interests of being comprehensive, and to get the ball rolling, I thought I'd include it. Also, we don't want to start too strong now, do we? So then folks, just been heckled? Do tell us what they said so we can all feel warmer and fuzzier. Or perhaps just smugly superior. Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: boldie on August 02, 2006, 12:48:45 PM In a pot where I had the nutflush draw after the flop and the bet was soo small I got 8-1 on value.
After the turn makes my flush and the guy (original raiser) goes all in and gets 2 callers + me. how the hell can you call with a flush draw?...you are the biggest fish I have ever played with! Man I love cash games online. Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: ACE2M on August 02, 2006, 12:51:55 PM I got about an hour of intense verball abuse that slowly mutated in to a friendly banter after i made an insane play in a $2/$4 nl game.
The unfortunate recipient firstly wrote 'what the f#@k are you doing?' which i thought was quite good. Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious?

Post by: Claw75 on August 02, 2006, 12:56:25 PM The most abuse I seem to get is from Mikky T in the Blonde games :D 'why did you calling my raise with that junk etc?' I expect if I were an anonymous opponent the chat might be a bit stronger!

Man I love cash games online. In a similar situation - but in a tournament - the player I knocked out didn't bother with technically misguided criticism, he just put, "I hope you die in a car crash". Some people take their $5 MTT's way too seriously! Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious?

"How many times have you played live, you're an arsehole, a f**king arsehole" She looked like such a sweet woman. :dontask: Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: thetank on August 02, 2006, 01:03:55 PM "I hope you die in a car crash". Some people take their $5 MTT's way too seriously! True, when the buy-in is less than the price of a pack of cigarettes, the most you can reasonably hope for is for your opponent to get a mild headache. Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: ifm on August 02, 2006, 01:07:07 PM I've had people be sacastic "very well played, nicely done" and horribly vitriolic "i hope you get cancer".
Neither bother me at all, i sometimes reply to the nasty ones with "do you kiss your mother with that mouth", which of course inspires a lot of mother abuse :D Then of course there's MUGLY slagging off every hand i play but the poor chap is trying to learn the game so i forgive him. Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: thetank on August 02, 2006, 01:10:58 PM Gutted, I just went all-in with A4o, got called by KK but hit a straight.
My opponent said...... absolutely nothing. ;tk; I obviously need to work harder. Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: Nix on August 02, 2006, 01:17:03 PM In an STT on Laddies, it was a Dane vs Norweigan confrontation. The Dane got sucked out on, AA vs JJ. The Dane's remark was, "How predictable. Like the contents of a Norweigan's rucksack."
Still makes me laugh, don't know why. Maybe it's a deadly Scandi insult. Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious?

Not actually a reaction to anything I did playing (my poker is faultless, no-one would dare ;D), but my avatar on Pokerstars is a cookie, a delicious Tesco's Finest chocolate chunk cookie, and some guy once asked me if it was marijuana. Someone's been staring at their screen for way too long... Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: thetank on August 02, 2006, 01:18:55 PM That's what I'm talking about, that's brilliant Nix.
It says that was your first post so ;welcome; Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: Claw75 on August 02, 2006, 01:19:29 PM actually the really outrageous comments don't wind me up at all, but one thing that did get to me recently. I was playing a HU sng a few weeks ago and my opponent just typed the odd word into the chatbox like 'unreal' and 'sigh' giving the impression that he was clearly the class player at the table and that it was annoying him that it was taking him so long to beat the big fish. Don't know why, but that kind of thing really does put me on the back foot.

Post by: NoflopsHomer on August 02, 2006, 01:24:57 PM Graham Greene only got into writing after he flopped quads only for his opponent to turn a straight flush.
Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: mikkyT on August 02, 2006, 01:34:14 PM Quite simply, after I flop two pair (AK) no draws on board, I check call all the way to the river. I bet the river putting the guy all in... and he calls with nothing, high card jack.
FU Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: TightEnd on August 02, 2006, 01:36:55 PM I play on BPL as TightBlonde and I set up my profile as a young lady really just as an experiment.
Periodically I find myself chatted up in the chat box which I play along with..sadly it doesn't help my hourly win rate much Yesterday I outdrew an American from Wyoming and he typed "I was going to send you my c**k pictures but now you can just suck my d**K" Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: mikkyT on August 02, 2006, 01:38:22 PM Claw I was just annoyed you popped my pair of 10's with a raggy king ;) At least you checked it down. I wouldn't have said anything if it wasn't a friendly blonde game. A bit of banter is good for the league especially when you had nothing to prove :)

That said - I still think I played that hand OK! Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: Newmanseye on August 02, 2006, 01:48:59 PM My particular fave came after I raised all in on the bubble with a short stack for the 5th time this time I had Ac Qd,
He types" if it was anyone else I would pass, but I dont respect your play, so I must call" He flips over Ad Js. Needless to say I won and he continues to comment. " How can you move all in, under the gun with AQ , thats such a mug play, Such a retard!!" Next hand is delt I get Ks Kh I'm in the BB, He moves in for his remaining chips and I call when its Back to me. I type in" I must call you, as I think you are making a play, but it might be a retard call" Cards over I win, He then proceeds to hound me for the rest of the game.

I bet out the flop and you called (i think) perhaps you should have re-raised but that just tells me you've likely hit, and you do want to be wary of AJ. I wouldn't have played much differently. Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: mikkyT on August 02, 2006, 02:11:39 PM too funny bolt :) Family and cards is always funny :)
Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: ACE2M on August 02, 2006, 02:16:41 PM near the bubble of a live tourney i was heavely laden with chips and simply moved all in on the woman in the BB repeatedly, eventually she found QQ against my A9s. Unfortunately for her i hit the flush and she departed, her parting gesture was to push over my stacks of chips which i thought was quite funny but she had a deadly serious look on her face, so i don't think she meant it jovialy.
Why do some women take it so much more personally when they get knocked out in a live tourney? I had a woman who taunted me when she knocked me out of a notts gala tourney because i had asked how many more chips she had left after she raised my bb, i duly raised that amount and she seemed to take it as a personal insult. Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: thetank on August 02, 2006, 02:18:36 PM I get Ks Kh I'm in the BB, He moves in for his remaining chips and I call when its Back to me. I type in" I must call you, as I think you are making a play, but it might be a retard call" Cheeky bugger that you are Billy. :D That kinda rubdown can maek you look mighta silly after an outdraw though. Like in an Orleans cash game (the Vegas hotel, not the Louisiana city) there was a hand in a $1/$2 cash game. A burly obnoxious American with a hat (he may, or may not, have been from Wyoming) was all-in on the turn for $300. The board read K33J. There was already around $300 in the middle and Glasgow's own Bada called for his remaining $150. The hatted manny looked on as Badda flipped QQ. "Good call" he announced sarcastically whilst revealing his own 36 for trips. Of course, the dealer turned a Q on the river, to give Bada the pot of the night. "Yes it was a good call" he chuckled as he stacked the chips. The man in the hat threw a tantrum any two year old would be proud of. He was a burly fokker making a lot of noise, I thought chips were about to fly. Security turned up and encouraged him to leave. He payed the price for his sarcastic complacency. The poker gods don't look too kindly on that sorta thing. Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: ifm on August 02, 2006, 02:52:28 PM just had this one, i was big chippy and 3 left in an STT.
I raised with KQ off commiting him if he calls, he did with QJ off!!!!!! No shocks and i win :- : Ellie-Anne wins 3,610 with Pair: Kings Ellie-Anne: gg paulkonerko: f **k off paulkonerko: fish D: Game [71] started with 2 players.

Robert - if you read this I would be VERY interested to know what you had from a learning point of view. sorry - gone a bit off topic there. Look at your hand history, give me date and time and I will see if it is still there. I will make a single admission, it was obvious you were "At It" so often but didn't have a hand to pull you up with at first. I did try one major bluff with a lot of chips flying about and you folded. I, honestly, don't bluff much but this was one I had to try. You had earlier said you were in need of a 4th place so I played on the fact that couldn't afford to lose on a showdown. So shot me! Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: Claw75 on August 04, 2006, 10:41:22 PM Thanks Robert - i'll try to find it. It's interesting you say that because, I actually played very tight at the final table and don't think I was 'at it' as often as you think! Probably why I ended up so short stacked.
Title: Re: Does bitterness inspire literary genious? Post by: Claw75 on August 04, 2006, 10:43:49 PM actually, I'm not going to find it. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you had, I played the whole hand wrong from start to finish - called your pre-flop bet when I should have folded or gone over the top and check folded when, again, I should have led out my putting all my chips in. I'm pretty sure I was ahead anyway but, as you said, it would have meant putting the chance of winning the league on the line and you were right to exploit that!
