Maybe I'm missing something, but when I give someone a beat, the first thing I'm thinking is how the fck I got myself in the position where I needed to get lucky.

im dissapointed in you tk.

why would i think im not finding people who agree with my views .................


thats why i think the post should be read and discussed deeper , the crux of the arguement is not what i agree or think , because i agree with you and tom in the main, i should and could behave better but i hate all this shouting at the table , at the efop the french were a disgarce it wa like jeux en frontiers with stuart hall ffs.


i do think it is crap but , like i said it will get worse as the game becomes more global.


quantify a misunderstood child

I am well aware you are disappointed in me, such is life.

I'm glad to hear you disapprove of the poor behaviour.

It will get worse as the game gets more global? It will if we just stand back & say nowt!

I have stated my position on table behaviour consistently, in print media, on the web, via APAT (where Table Behaviour is exemplary) & on TV, & I'll continue so to do. That's the way to try & do something about it. Don't be giving up & saying "we can''t stop it" - we CAN. But it helps if the better players - such as yourself - lead by example, & I'm glad we think the same here.  At my level of play, (grinder, need the cards to win) my opinion don't count for a deal!

Honestly Tom, if you ever erupted like that in a live event, I couldn't help but have a little giggle. 

Please let one rip at your next outing.

Too many players are now actual poker players and not sick gamblers. They therefore dont know the feeling of losing money and cant handle the situations as well as those brought up on a gambling background. Playing high online is an emotion killer too. You rarely see a high stakes online player show any emotion in live tournaments when knocked out or winning an all in.

This is very good point.

I can't think of a single sick gambler who behaves badly when they win a big pot.

Probably because it's known no matter how much is won, it will all be gone in a couple of weeks anyway...

Excellent debate indeed - 54 Posts in less than 100 minutes. More of the same.

Roland barely battered an eye lid when he won the epr in dublin.

Is that why you are an inverted chair sitter?... to avoid the potential slump into the chair.

Whats your opinion of Paul Maxfields' high fives during the final of the WPT Championship at the Bellagio.
Was it acceptable due to the "alledged" collusion between Tuan Lee & H . Habib?

Paul is a classy guy , so is it acceptable in certain circumstances?

I also hate the high fives and such, but found no problem with Pauls antics. Am I a Hypocrite?

I think sponsors have a say in shaping how players behave, & the brighter players realise this.

Think sponsored players in the UK, the ones who spring to mind as ideal vehicles for their Sponsors money are Thewy, Smokin Steve, Bad Girl, Lord Wernick, & the boy J P Kelly.

By Sponsoring those who behave in a decent manner at the table, they (the Sponsors) are encouraging better behaviour. See, we CAN turn the tide!
