Message: [QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 5487438, member: 33113"] I tend to disagree with this ^ Firstly, a player who chooses to insult typically has a problem with emotions... and.. good players will typically do not insult others on the table. (although.. there is 'Phil Helmuth'... )... but 'some' do.. occasionally. I have a feeling that this doesn't pertain to why OP is being insulted on the tables. I have a strong feeling it is because of OP's bad play (call it a hunch... or something). My suggestion, ignore the comments DURING the game.. but perhaps for your own benefit, take a closer look at the hands where you were receiving criticism /insults. There just might be an opportunity for you to learn from them. ie. in 1st level, min-raise 3-betting in utg1 over a utg raise while holding A9s & while sitting on a table with many calling stations is not going to be +ev for you. This is VERY poor bet-sizing. (can you see why?... hint > it accomplishes nothing as it doesn't build a pot, it doesn't give you position, it doesn't limit the number of players calling (it actually entices many of them to call) Then leading into the pot once checked to, with a 2bb bet = 1/10th pot, in a 5-way hand on an AJX rbo flop... probably isn't going to accomplish much.... and then compounding this by calling UTG's 'check-raise' to 3/4 pot (at this point.. what hand(s) could we be POSSIBLY beating????... as Tony Dunst would say on WPT.. "Let's break it down" think about UTG's opening range in early levels. think about what range of hands they would Check-raise in 'that' spot in a multiway pot (5-handed!)... into 4other players who have ALL called the C-bet (even if it was only 1/10th the pot... seeing as you've given them odds to draw to 2outs). On a blank turn card, UTG fires out again & once again you make the call. What hands are we beating there in this spot? What hands would lead into us there that we are ahead of? Would KK do this? (umm.. 'no')... would AJ? (top2).. umm.. yup)... AT? (maybe they'd just x/C... that is if AT even opens from UTG in 1st level). ... Maybe a pr. that flopped a set ? With the A9 in that spot you are basically hoping to hit 3outs on the river... meaning you only have a 6% chance (vs. 94% likely for villain) to win the hand... but even then there's a chance you're actually drawing dead vs. AJ (the AJ might make sense there).
