whooppinggggg and hollering , good or bad fpr poker

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...

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

Maybe cause he had to win to break even for the week after letting me play on his account!

i thought the moan you let out late saturday when i reriased you twice was a disgarce you were slumped in your chair and barely could reach your cards to muck..
at least have the courtesy to sit up  

Not sure what u mean. If its a joke, its gone straight over my head, but I wasnt in the casino Saturday at all.

Whats your opinion of Paul Maxfields' high fives during the final of the WPT Championship.
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 that was an exceptional situation. Paul is a perfect Gent, but his two foes chose to collude. They got what they deserved.

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!

I should have added El Blondie, & doubtless many others, but you get my drift.

So it is acceptable in certain circumstances, if theres some history to the actions?
Did Paul know for certain of the "said" collusion

Well I'd never do it whiile I had breath in my body, but we all had sympathy for Paul, & I think Paul knew what was going off. As to "said" collusion, the evidence was pretty damning.

I am certainly part of the new poker boom group in poker (27 yr old who learnt his game on the internet) but i have to say this whole parading around like you are some kind of superstar when you win a pot or even worse suckout leaves a bad taste in the mouth. My philosophy in poker is that its game to be competitive at but manners and etiquette in live poker are important.

This is an individuals game where each person is responsible for their own decisions and it is peoples money. Therefore for every winner who is hollering there is someone sat there who has lost the pot and has to endure not only losing money (be it a tourney or cash), to be frankly honest this is not the behaviour of any responsible person. When it comes down to it this boils down to what kind of person you are and how you wish others to perceive you.

I have to say internet poker is interesting one I must admit one of the reasons i have no involved myself in the PRO  etc is that i think some of the chat box railbirding goes too far. All you have to do is watch the final 5 tables of the Sunday million on stars it really is a wonder that any of these people are above the age of 16. Not that I'm saying supporting your mates is wrong but there are ways to do this and not be an idiot.

I agree with the evidence Tikay. It was I who started the Stateside debate on the subject.
 I posed the question to Paul Phillips on his journal,asking his opinion as a high profile player , what he thought on the alledged collusion between LEE & HABIB. I didnt expect a response but he did and it went crazy across the forum boards in America.
As you know I also hold Paul in high esteem, as a person and poker player

The more I like them as friends, the harder I play against them, it's the bragging rights, as Chili & Thewy will testify. Shame they are both better at the game than me, though, they generally end up with the chips! And we generally have a little financial "interest" in each other. I never swap %'s with Red-dog, but we generally end up taking each other on, if he's in a Pot, so am I, I can't help it! That's why, when we go on "away" trips, we always hope for separate tables.

I try & avoid you at the table as you're way too good for me, but I have my moments.
