blonde poker forum

is it me or does it wind anyone else up when some people take the game serious all the time?

 i can do serious poker and get p#ssed off with being bad beat but arent there times you should chill out whilst playing?

we have a guy in our group that cant relax or loosen up even in a £5 sng that we usually have just for fun after our pool match. every hand is a decision and he gets so p#ssed off when he gets bad beat by one of the others mucking about calling him blind or playing the whole hand blind lol.

it spoils it for me because i like most of the others see it as a laugh and a wind down at the end of the night and its only a fiver ffs!!!!

Again the blonde bash for example, in my eyes a social event but spoilt by some people being ultra serious even in the side action sng's.

dont get me wrong to win the blonde bash would be a great honour but who plays there normal game?

its about having fun not how much you make from taking advantage of friends enjoying a social event.

i do - i play my normal "a-game" whether it is a $1 online tourney or $10000 WSOP main event, i play seriously and i play to win.

doesn't mean i'm not having fun and enjoying it though.

I understand both sides of your story but to be honest i'm not sure why your friend would get so upset when others dont take it as serious - surely he must realize in the long run he'll make more when his opponents are playing blind!! :D

rookie is your son sort him out

lol no matt he doesnt realise he's that bad i could beat him without looking at my cards every go!

dont know how iron but me and you never got the chance to do our blind battles in a sng this time.


really missed that, the sng's that we played at walsall on the sunday with amongst others bobby1, cupcake, mel and rookie ere among the funniest ive ever played.

sorry for being a rock in them sit and goes mate :( ;)

Does he actually think he is better than he is?

Maybe his frustrations come because he wants to learn how to become better but doesnt get the opportunity because you are not taking as serious?

(though reading your post it just appears that you are up against someone who wants to win everything they play - but can't enjoy it along the way)

lol yeah right ! ;carlocitrone; ;)

i see where you are coming from matt.

he regularly plays in our serious games as well so has plenty of oppurtunity to play seriously and learn that way.

he also is regularly watched by a more experience player whilst playing online but is one of these guys who cant be shown anything and thinks his way is right.

its just his nature i think, hes the same playing pool. he treats a best of 3 frames for a fiver the same as a county match or a £100 money match which he regularly plays as well. continually taking ages over a shot and playing ultra safe for fear of losing.

sounds like the two of you are going to have to agree to disagree :D

some people just don't like losing whatever's at stake - $1m, £30 or a handful of winegums :)

dont get me wrong mate i dont like losing but like to loosen up at times and relax.

tend to say no know whenever he says about a game as i know i wont enjoy. so much so that when it comes to pool i have vowed never to play him even in practice for less than £100 so that it justifys the way hes playing.

Dont complain, the £10 SnG's were the only ones within my B-roll. Play for fun, you pay your money and can play ANYWAY you want.

so its more his attitude towards the game more than anything?

With me its always profit but i always try to enjoy it and have fun and i'm gracious in defeat (i think ;whistle;) - if he had the same attitude then you probably wouldn't mind playing him?

Its the poker bores that do me in. Always wanna talk about how they just got knocked out of a comp, I don't fkin care!!! Even during breaks and stuff they don't even seem to have any idle chit chat, it just seems to be about poker the whole time.

i agree alex you pay your money you play how you like,not a problem there.

have you not rebuilt that roll yet???

making silly bets on m3boy outlasting rookie in the main comp wont help  rotflmfao easiest tenner i ever won!

there is very few thing i have in common with people in poker apart from poker makes idle chit chat pointless as we lead totally different lifestyles

lol, talked about that with Nakor and Bone1986 when we were on our buffet lunch break - it seemed everyone walking past was telling some tale about a hand during the first few hours of the tourney and we said we should run a sweep on how many poker tales and bad beat stories would get told during the evening :D

Scrap that tippy tappy game and let's play some 9ball at the next bash  ;nemesis;
