Strong language this time, especially for a $5 multi!

Oh yeah.  Bad players are always worth abusing.  I hate it when 'fish' give away money.

Not big, not clever.

Er, where do i abuse bad players? I dont see it....

I don't give players a hard time at the table on the whole. Now and again i find this difficult, hey we wouldn't be human if we didn't!
My blog lets me vent stuff i would otherwise like to say to poor players. However the reason I usually don't go overboard with abuse at players in 5$ MTTsis not because i see this as training up weak players.

Weak players are weak players for a reason. There is a proliferation of poker information and strategy advice available, either for free from the web or from books from the library or bookshops. If players are too lazy to learn a few basic strategy tips from the plethora of information available, then a few marginally insulting comments will not change their strategy, certainly not to an extent where it will have a noticable impact on your earning potential in their games.

No, the reason i generally don't insult players is that on the whole i am a polite guy. If you don't beleive that then **.

Awwwwwwwww lots xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to the little cat.

My original response was in relation to the contention that this was the 'funniest blog entry ever', which it isn't.  Thematically I disagree with everything you say and I don't think you write paricularly well.  That is neither here nor there, just an opinion.

You don't see that you are abusing bad players?   Well both blog entries are entirely about that, and you are putting that out in the public domain, your friends are advertising it on forums.  The fact that you are not typing this in the chat box is irrelevant really, though you do seem to let some comments slip throught the net; "i go on to point out that in 5$ comps people will play AT like its the f***ing nuts".   

As for not being polite, well they do say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. 

Its important to note that I'm not just worried about you scaring away the fish, though why anyone doesn't want to play against people who you are better than is beyond me.  Its not just a question of behaviour at live tables that dictates what kind of person you are, your attitude and beliefs are fundamental to this.  Respect and tolerance are important in all walks of life, poker included.

You are entitled to your opinion of course, and people are entitled to find you funny and clever.  I'm also entitled to think you are not.

Dan if you check the title you will see a question mark.

[danmonkey]

Actually I can see two.  And the answer is: No, its not.

[Royal Flush]

if you can see 2 then by definition you can see a question mark.....

[danmonkey]

Sorry James, but I don't see your point.  Would you care to elaborate?  Am I to assume you don't find this blog amusing as your original post states "This is a friend of mine's blog, and i am dying with laughter reading it!".

Danmonkey, I guess what we find so funny, and you wiould be forgiven for not understanding as you do not know Rod, he is the nicest guy you could ever meet! He doesn't have a go, is always polite and allows people their views. His blog is totally out of character which is why it is so funny! As i said, you would not know this.

Rod is in fact a VERY good writer, and gets paid to do so. when he gets a book published, and I am in no doubt that he will one day, I will be first in line for a copy!

You are of course allowed your views, and we ours. Please remember it was not Rod that linked his blog, or asked for approval. He stated in the entry that it is his way of venting, and as such he can do as he pleases.

I think its hilarious, but i guess you need to know 'the cat' too find it as funny as we do.
