There’s No Crying In Poker….
by street3 on Dec.28, 2008, under Poker Related
Or is there? I believe in the world of online poker, there will be many times a player gets knocked out of tourney or loses a big amount of chips on a bad beat and the water fall begins. Of course these are not tears, they are profanity laced tirads aimed at a particular player or the table in general. These “crybabies” are upset that they lose a set to a river flush by a guy holding 10, 2 suited. More times than not these guys get themselves into the situation by slow playing or checking their hands giving the “idiot player” the ability to see free cards.
Anyway, if i’m sitting at a table where someone starts crying, i will most certainly add fuel to the fire by egging them on, wise cracking or just being a jackass. I can’t help it.
Does this happen at a live game? Most of the time not, unless you are Phil “The Poker Crybaby Bitch” Helmuth. Seems this guy will let loose a tirade anytime he’s out played, bluffed or re-raised. I have no respect for this guy no matter how awesome he is at poker. Fuck him.
Well, while writing this my AA got cracked by 7 2 off suit, better start calling the player an idiot, assponey, clownfucker…be back later.

Nice post. I usually keep my mouth shut after a “bad beat” or LOL them. I never tell them how bad they played a particular hand. I let them keep on playing like that!

Last night, i called a guy a douchebag for beating my set of K’s with Jh9h on a river heart..all in after flop. I think he hit the turn and river to win.

Hmmmm…ass clowns…did you steal that from Shakespeare? You write with such eloquence and in iambic pentameter too.
I agree with you, dude. Ass clowns need to be teased. Yea and verily, ye have thus spake.

I just swear at my monitor, but very rarely say anything on-line. It does drive me crazy that people will call a preflop raise of 4-8X the blinds with *any* two cards, and hit.
I’ve had AA, all in pre-flop, busted by someone calling with 27 suited, risking ALL their chips. And they get lucky and hit the flush, trips or a straight. This has happened to me twice. So, to keep these kinds of players in mind, my card protector has a 2 7 of hearts, with the slogan, “But they’re suited!” on it. : )

Thanks for the comment, Mark! It sucks so bad when you do everything right, but still lose to something so bad. I love the card protector, that is awesome!
