Post bust-out handshakes

[AlunB]

When you get lucky against someone I think it just compounds the situation and adds more fuel to the fire of pain. Last Friday night I saw a Dtd reg quite embarrassed because he got lucky. Instead of saying  sorry he congratulated his opponent on well she had played and deserved better the way she played the hand. She just replied "yeah whatever" and flounced off

So he effectively said that he feels sorry for her situation. Nothing up with that, a sporting and gentlemanly gesture. She has every right to bemoan her luck, but she could always show a bit of class at the same time.

One of the first things I learnt about poker is you shouldn't be results orientated...yet itt I am reading how lots of players feel the need to apologise to other players for the result??

Just plain 'unlucky' is fine. But nah, I don't want anyone feeling sorry for my situation. My situation is I just lost a hand of poker and will just shrug it off like a big boy. I bet you would shrug it off like a big boy too. So if we both know the score why are we apologising to each other about the result? We both know the result of this single hand is inconsequential in the scheme of things and we have both been sucked out on many times. So in fact her reply 'yeah whatever' and flouncing off is just fine and normal behaviour.

I remember a guy apologising to me when his AK beat my JJ...yeah I suppose that was quite unlucky for me as it goes.

Sorry about empathising with others.

I know how you feel.

That's not empathy

In everyday life empathising with others comes easily to me but I find it's not necessary to bring that attribute to a card table. I want to bust your ass and will take it any way it comes. Sure, say unlucky if that is true but empathy really isn't required when playing a game. Oh my, it looks like you've landed on Park Lane which I own and it's got like 3 hotels on it as well. But before we move on can I offer my apologies and say I empathise with such a cruel roll of the dice. Oh it appears you can't pay so it's gg but please shake my hand and accept my apologies again. Nah, seems like a rubdown or something.

If you keep imagining what other people are imagining what other people are imagining and so on forever and ever what the sweet tasted like, it'll be ad infinitempathy.

You. Are. Welcome.
