Message: [QUOTE="alienat3d, post: 5616068, member: 226185"] [SIZE=4]I tell you what I noticed over many years, in 95% only the bad players do allow themselves to say such phrases. So if you see someone says "you're donk/fish!", it's a good sign, that he is a "donk/fish" himself, who not able to control his emotions after having a bad beat.[/SIZE] [SIZE=4]The good regulars won't say a word because of the following reasons: [/SIZE][LIST=1] [*][SIZE=4]they see bad beats so much more often, than recreational/bad player and have so much more experience, that it became a routine for them; [/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]they are much more aware of the importance to control their own emotions while playing and bad beats hardly bring them out of balance;[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]they remember to "[I]don't tap the tank[/I]", which in other words means you shouldn't tell the bad players, that they're playing bad. Simply because you will harm only yourself by doing that. After you pointing on that, someone is playing bad only two things can happen: [/SIZE] [/LIST] [LIST] [*][SIZE=4]"the fish" gets upset and quit your table / or in worst case poker and you'll lose the great source of income; [/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]he starts thinking "maybe he is right and I should improve my game in that spot or in general" and it will make life harder for you again! So, as you can see, saying to bad players, that they're playing bad, it's like shooting in your feet really.[/SIZE] [/LIST][SIZE=4]Even [B]Doyle Brunson[/B] yet in 1979 in his legendary "[B]Supersystem[/B]" book wrote: [I]Never point on the mistakes of the bad players, even if you really wish to. Better say them "well played!" instead and let them do those mistakes over and over again! It will print you money over time.[/I][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
