Funnily enough, you have done precisely what you have criticized others for doing - talked down to them and told them they are no good. The irony seems a little lost.

Did I miss something?

The Dunnig Kruger effect proves this and only a narcissist would assume im putting them down in this sense lol im only stating a known fact that ppl who boast about being better than others tend to be the donkeys in poker. Just like bullies in real life they are just scared children who cant accept reality. if you feel thats an attack that says a lot about you bro. reflect evolve.

That is what I miss about the days I played backrooms and older casinos with regs I knew. We would talk smack, but we never crossed lines with people unless we knew them. There was a Navy guy that I used to banter with that seemed offensive, but I was in the Corps and we were actually laughing the whole time. We had someone jump one of us, I honestly do not remember which, but the whole table shut him up. Said we were the military equivalent of Abbot and Costello and we kept the table from being boring. Now, the majority of online table talk seems offensive even for a Marine.

I meant that the players youve seen em. they sit down and immediatly say how they crush all the donks and when they lose one hand go off about how they shouldnt have lost that hand and oh how horible the other player is and not even knowing them. im saying these are my favorite players because they are fish and being so easy to spot i wanted to give beginner players the opportunity to know with out question how to spot an obvious fish. everyone is not understanding my posts. i get it hard to know whith out the voice giving you the ques.

The game statistics will tell you everything. No matter what others say about you, a person is judged by his actions.

Exactly, over time one learns more from mistakes than from strategies, it has happened to me a lot that someone comes to the table and has a lot of chips and starts to play aggressive and I put myself in hunting mode and ended up eliminating the best, but that person start using the chat to insult and offend and those teasing and insults affect you is annoying and it has happened to me many times, for that reason I like to play quietly, without offending anyone.

Pokurd · Jan 29, 2021

You're kinda right.

Here's the thing, we still don't know what "good play," in poker is.
We know there are certain things you should do.
But as dog whistle Doug Polk repeatedly explains. If you always do thing X in Y spot, you're open to being exploited.
Also, if the player is truly good, they may use table talk to help you craft a mistaken image of them.
I.E. You went all in with pocket Js? MORON!
Next time that player gets pocket Js, he goes all in. Everyone now believes he's tight and folds, thinking he has Qs or better.

I have learned not to pay attention to people who are talking at the table, no matter what. I try to play my poker and not stand out of balance. The psychology of poker is very important, you have to keep your level. Even when I think that someone is playing badly, that I am better, thanks to my inherent modesty I will not boast about it, because why.

wagon596 · Feb 1, 2021

One of the first things I found out about myself. Just because you (me) do good in freerolls and Micro stakes doesn't necessary mean you (me) can run with the "Big Dogs". That's why I still only play freerolls and Micro Tournaments. I even suck so bad at cash games I don't play them.

How often do you see players talking smack on the tables about how bad other players play? I been playing non stop the past year and i found out some funny things. Players who put down other players play i find make the same mistakes and more. Players that say they are good but never win are my favorite ones and the topic. If you think you are a good poker player but you lose all the time, Then most likely your are not a good poker player. Are you that player or do you know that no matter how good you are there is always a way to lose. It took me a long while to learn not to tell ppl that im a good player cause why would you. Bad beats shouldnt hurt you if you got a Bankroll and a good head on ya.

I think I‘m a good player, but sometimes the cards not on my side

First of all, the chat is turned off all the time, do not care what unknowns write, say, talk, not even much, what the known ones do. Things like this: you are good or bad player must be told by others not you. (Generally I can't stand these self advertising droids in live, 'I am so this and that....' always painting the positive picture selling themselves like that, of course, in the end, the time proof it they are the same crap, bad or worse like me.....)

I can say, I am profitable in some level and type of games, does not mean I am good. I even see that, that I am not, as it is more than being profitable, there are more part of it.

It is all very variable there are certainly better players than others... EVERYONE can be good dont listen to what this guy says.

Dimission · Feb 26, 2021

I think I'm good, but it really comes in gusts. The last few days I have really had terrible bad luck again and I accuse everything and everyone of fraud. Will be fine again.

Well said! Surely being a good player is only measured by themselves, who am I to criticize someone's own interpretation of what is a good player, or who is bad? We are all Human and make mistakes but you do not need to win all the time to be a good player, I would happily come 2nd or 3rd in every game I play, rather than win one in 20 games or more.
Some one once called me a loser when I came 2nd in a big tourney, I suppose their interpretation was right because I could only make 2nd place, but considering I beat hundreds of other players to get to 2nd place, was in itself an achievement, and I was happy getting as far as I did.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

hello

It is not thinking about being good or it is not trying to know the game better, having hunches strategies, risking believing in your cards and of course evaluating the possible odds to have the best combination and win the tournaments and events.

cheeeer · Jul 19, 2021

Not sure if he played poker but he explained it well:

narc · Jul 19, 2021

Although it's not good, you have to believe in yourself, that you are capable of winning, this with focus and determination!!!! The bad beats happen and will happen..

scobido · Jul 19, 2021

Many speak, but so it is in everyday life, many commentators, because some do not realize what they are talking about and so brag, I wish them all success, and among the advice I think is positive I admire and the negative ones I don't take into account.

MAGICUZ · Jul 19, 2021

I personally do not care whether a good or a bad player, my goal at the table is the chips.Sometimes I can write in the chat that a player played his hand badly, but this does not mean that he is a bad player.I write only to good players, bad players are marked with me and for this there is no point in writing something to them.When adequate players write to me, I silently analyze the game and when a bad player writes to me, then it just makes me laugh

damas13251 · Jul 19, 2021

I think that im am bad and thats sad true. lolz

pltelles · Jul 19, 2021

Many spend time criticizing the way others play, often it's just a way to hide their own weaknesses. In a self analysis, I consider myself a beginning player, with a lot of deficiencies in my game, but that didn't stop me from winning 3 tournaments in CC in the last 3 months. Study and practice lead to game improvement.

Opinion

I think that this can only concern the personal health and health of your close relatives.

ASMautoneJr · Jul 19, 2021

poker table conversations, it's something to be constantly analyzed, there's always the guy who only knows how to badmouth other people's plays and the situation is to keep talking about the good plays... to balance it out... laughs!

TCHUCO2005 · Jul 19, 2021

Friends, I see this as a way to put you down and you tilt and end up paying with any card, and I think it's correct that the vast majority posted, whoever does this wants to destabilize the adersario, simple as that. I don't talk much even though I know I'm a newbie to poker.

If you think you're good, you're not
