Collusion?

OH Dear! we're gonna definitely gonig to have to disagree on this one.

Rubdowns/excess celebrations/loudly shouing out for your sick outdraw cards/arrogant threats

They all fall into the same category for me, bit lacking on the class side.
Not really conducive to elevating poker to a professional level.

This isn't online. The people who's faces you dance in front of after hitting them with your 2 outer muffjob are right in front of you.

This is another case of what part of poker is a game and what part is a sport?

I hate rubdowns, there is no need, but if a guy wins the WSOP and i come 2nd, i fully expect him to jump up and start cheering! He just became the World Champ ffs! As long as he comes over and shakes my hand all is well. Like i say a footballer is allowed to go celebrate with his fans/fellow players when he scores, so a poker player should be able to do the same.

I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.
I won't begrudge the new WSOP champ a cheer when he's won it but there are ways to do things and ways NOT to do things. As for the handshaking thing, I see it as a quick bit of hypocrisy all too often witessed on these tele final tables. DO a big grandstand production on how great you are after getting your chips in from behind and getting lucky ad then offering a handshake to the unlucky soul you just knocked out. IMO do one or the other but they dont go together. Acting like an arse for 10secs is not all suddenly washed away because you then immediately pretend to be a gentleman.

What about any sport? When someone wins they celebrate then shake the losers hand, why does poker have to be diffrent?

Is that THE MadYank? The one of record break heads-up fame??

 

He is only borrowing the record

Is that a challenge?

LOL Flushy is welcome to try to break it (74hrs 4 mins). Heck I'll deal for him again. But I still wouldn't wish that self abuse on others.

I was think more that you could play each other heads up.

The loser is the one who drops dead first.

I'd be sure to do a lot of dancing and celebrating. I think he'd die from my endless talking before the organ failure got him

Despite the fact that at one time or another I have done all the things I have mentioned above, perhaps I have mellowed in my old age (10% of Tikay's age) but I have almost always been a member of the GIQ brigade.

Tis difficult to explain if you don't understand it in the 1st place. There is a time and a place for everything.

perhaps a better shorter explanation is "It's just NOT cricket" to run around shouting to the camera about your greatness when you suckout on someone.

because you're nothing more then a lucky fish when you outdraw someone. It has nothing to do with your greatness. You can be happy about being lucky, but it doesn't make you great.

Also you have to remember that for every bad outdraw you win there's a guy who just lost a lot of cash on that bad beat and, although you can be happy about it, there's no need to rub that in his face.

Poker is not the same as football. You can celebrate a good win of course you can, but there's no need to call someone a mug. (Hell, even in footie they don't)


 True class is about being a good winner as well as a good loser and running around shouting how great you are and how the other guy is a fish shows you don't have any class.

taken from the imfamous pokerbastard blog, this made me chuckle. 

I nearly threw up my coffee and cornflakes the other morning.

"Idly watching the Breakfast News on the BBC, when they switch to some sort of expose of gambling in the UK, and interview a "Professional Poker Player", one Ron Fanelli. He was shown yahooing (NOT an uncommon occurence) when winning a pot (an uncommon occurence) at the Gutshot club. The sycophantic commentary then informed us that he had won £200, whereupon my choking turned to uncontrolled laughter."

[action man]

not as humurous as i thought obv

[MadYank]

LOL

No that post is still funny!

Cleary the bastard was one of my huge fans fom the VIC cash games.

Stella please mate.
