Hey, cool! I watched that stream live :) I like his solid poker advice too - he may very well be my favorite poker player.

You know, I was a little bit, but not a ton. Personally, I usually don't swear at all and I like it when players like Joe Hachem show class. With this said, swearing isn't something I usually do, but it may or may not really bother me based on the context. Some of his jokes are a bit too far (and others I enjoy hearing), but he isn't swearing out of insulting anyone. Some players like Matusow (did I spell that right?) swear left and right. When was the last time Hellmuth called someone an "F***ing idiot" or something?

I am not saying it is right, but different people are different people; with this said, I think players like Negreanu or Hellmuth would do more for their status as ambassadors of the game if they didn't swear and kept their composure better. Granted, I am not playing high stakes poker for real money - but I try to keep my class when I play poker. Not saying it is an excuse, but I'm sure emotions are more volatile when you are playing with lots of money and so I'd imagine swearing is fairly common as poker is an emotional game.
