Message: [QUOTE="IntenseHeat, post: 2378058, member: 92488"] The silliest thing that's ever been said to me at a poker table was actually something that I had heard once before. The first time it wasn't said to me but about me when I wasn't around. A few guys were trying to figure out who they should invite to a poker game later that night. When my name came up, two of the three guys objected on the grounds that they didn't like the way that I played. One said that I didn't play enough hands to suit him because I only played hands that I was likely to win. The other guy agreed that he didn't like the way that I just kept folding until I got good cards. When I heard it that first time it sounded just a little bit absurd. After all, the first thing my father taught me about poker, way back in the day, was that you only play the good hands and fold the bad ones. But it didn't seem that outrageous coming from these guys. I mean, they weren't exactly poker geniuses. When the same sentiment was expressed during an online poker game, amongst supposed good players, it struck me as being so much sillier than when it was spouted out by some novice. The guy started out by saying that I wasn't a very good player. I didn't find it such a silly thing to say. I might disagree. But to each his own and all that. What made it the silliest thing that has been said to me at a poker table was when the guy justified his initial statement by going on to explain that the only reason that I was winning was because I only played good hands. He ended with "Of course he's gonna win if he only plays good hands". Isn't that the idea, silly? [/QUOTE]
