Angry players

ozvillain · Dec 29, 2009

I busted a guy out in a sng the other day and he went absolutely spastic about it. The thing was it wasn't donk play i was in the blind and flopped a straight. He went on and on about how awful I was, and while I just assumed he was not that great, I checked his stats out - after he went on and on about how much better they were than mine, and he has a really good record, and is in the high eighties ability wise..(I'm about 69/70)

I don't get why he spazzed out so badly, given he has a lot of experience, appears to do quite well at the game, and it wasn't like I sucked him out - I overbet a monstor hoping to represent a bluff and it worked.

Any thoughts?

if he let you see the flop for nothing or next to nothing, his loss, his mistake, his problem. JMO

Losing will bring out the worst in people, so I wouldn't worry any. You did what I would've done. Just make a note of this guy so next time you can try the same thing.

LaMinaccia · Dec 30, 2009

You might of been one of many bad beats he suffered that day, week or month so don't worry about it and keep your window on stats/info instead of chat.

Sometimes it seems that it might not been you but the prior bad beats he took and you are just the unlucky one to hear it. I always try to say good game or if busted out good luck to rest that’s in. Sometimes just the acknowledgement will send them off quietly.

We have seen it in all walks of life, some can handle losing better than others.

I try to keep away from chat,,, seems to help as for as getting distracted by trash talk...just my thoughts

DINGO8MYBABY · Dec 30, 2009

I wish I could hit the right-click button and mute players when I play live like I do when I play online. And most table chat online is so worthless that when in doubt mute the table.

Mase31683 · Dec 30, 2009

Another solid reason for disabling chat. It only distracts.

micalupagoo · Dec 30, 2009

i guess i get pissed off at times when i shouldnt- too many bad beats 1 too many times- but that was not the case here...he let you, the big blind, see a free flop where you flop a str8, what could be better, you got him good (without a bad beat/donking

) hope it payed well

there sure are some babies out there too, no matter how good they are

micalupagoo · Dec 30, 2009

also....the chat aint so bad...met some good ppl, had some good laughs....

Exit141RTe1 · Dec 30, 2009

Stay away from the tantalizing chat with the player. If you are lucky enough to be in position when the guy is on or close to tilt, it will never get any better than that.

Love to rub it in though.

JEP712 · Dec 30, 2009

It happens every other day. It was his fault for letting you see the flop. That was a nice bet on the flop, if he calls you're getting paid off because he either has a high pocket pair, or he hit on the flop. I still prefer to keep the chat box open.

leon818 · Jan 1, 2010

sometimes its make the torney less bored by telling joke. but never believe in someone that go allin and since he/she going to sleep.

watchfanatic · Jan 1, 2010

dont worry about it too much. from your desc of the hand, it looks like he just got very unlucky and it simply ticked him off...it happens to the best of them.

salim271 · Jan 2, 2010

salim271 · Jan 2, 2010

I think lost a bet or caught wife cheating sounds right... real life probs affect play.

dan · Jan 3, 2010

maybe it was phil helmuth lol

nc_royals · Jan 3, 2010

The chat is a double -edge sword for me. I like to keep it on to see when others are tilting. On occassion you do meet some nice people in there as well.

My problem is that I do get sucked into arguments and it does affect my game when some jerk is being abusive in the chat. So for the most part I just keep it turned off.

This ^^^^^^^^

ckingriches · Jan 3, 2010

It could be a simple case of venting, although I don't believe the OP has confirmed that the flop was seen for free (just that he/she was in one of the blind positions). In any case, it's probably best to ignore his comments once he's out. Personally I've questioned others' play when they knock me out if I feel they did something stupid. But I know it sounds like sour grapes.

Olddog21 · Jan 3, 2010

Angry PPL!

Was his name PHIL by any chance!

CerberAcE · Jan 3, 2010

I guess the chat box can have its uses..seeing whos getting frustrated etc.

I think I will turn it off in future because its all too easy to be effected by angry comments or getting sucked into arguements which can have an impact on your play.
