Every sport has their over the top celebreties- EVERY SPORT!! They just wont be controlled. Im not justifying why they do it im just it DOES have an effect. And if you cant take it you should play! I dont doubt it makes them look like the biggest C**TS i the world. I just feel that unlike a football match the referree cant watch very table so it comes down to the dealer and he should have the right to interpret if it is personal abuse or banter! Onb the self dealt tables it muct come down to the players on the table. But in evry single sport there are things that go on that the majority of people dont agree with but it does undoubtedly give that player/team edge.

Whilst some of us may not think highly of boaking, I don't think anyone is advocating banning it or calling for dealers or TDs to take action against boakers.

But there is where i get slightly pissed off with other poker players and poker in general. Poker players want to a law onto themselves. There are many sports i haven played and in just about every one i can say a rule that has been implimented to help cut out a certain "flaw" in the game to help it improve for both the spectators and the players. If something or someone does wrong its more like a court case than a disciplinary hearing with loopholes being found and a twised version of the rules being put forward. Is it things like this which can be said to seperate pker from being a sport!

Speech play and moodies are a different thing, and a different thread.

I think "Bit of a knob" should be shortened to "Boak" and inducted into poker language as a technical term.

Please note that in Scots to boak is to throw up, or nearly throw up (the dry boak). Pretty much what boaks make you want to do.....

We always called that (Dry heave) "Bork"

Anyway, boak is a poker term now, I've patented it.

Nope, that's to hesitate or stop, refuse to do something.

Boak is to upchuck (see link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Scottish_slang_words#B)

From whoopin & hollerin to Scottish etymology... only on blonde

Baulk is a bit of a snooker table where you get to put the white after a foul.

The WPBSA are happy with baulks.

For those comparing it to other sports...Look at the truly top athletes in their game, Ronaldhino, Henry, Federer . they never whoop and hollar they show true class by doing the magnificent and then just looking around with a look on their face saying "Yes, I'm the daddy. I know it, you know it..and we both know I'll do it again"

They never go completely nuts and are true gentlemen when it comes to respecting their opponents..that for me is what class is all about.
