Message: [QUOTE="Alberto Martinez, post: 5642780, member: 333467"] [b]Kindness In Action[/b] Hsac, I love your observation; not only because it helped you, but to note it enough that it warranted the time to comment on the occurrence. I spent 25 years in prison and now I'm retired and on a fixed income, so I play small tourney and stretch my pennies as far as they can go because I love the game of poker. I have caught myself intentionally folding my small blind (when all others had folded) so that bubble boy could make pay-dirt (and he did make pay-dirt and climbed so fast I just started laughing to myself). I made about $15 and bubble boy had a monster stack last I saw. It has also happened to me on several occasions. I had been losing tourney after tourney by the bubble or on the bubble and had been on a losing streak and there I was again. There had been an All-Inner on the table and I had a smallish stack. The All-inner started calling all players on the table, "Idiots!" After calling everyone, idiots, he would shove all-in. Well, I decided to make a sacrifice call, so that others could see his cards. I answered his Shove with an unsuited 3-2. The flop produced three more 3's (end of story). Mr. All-inner then started calling me ugly names and things. I ignored him. Soon after, he was eaten up by the others at the table. Well, near the bubble, I hit a strait on the flop and that hand cost me some good chips (flush). So, at the "bubble" the player before on several occasions folded his small blind and I raked up the pot. I made pay-dirt and earned about $50. I guess the idea of playing hard and to the end and sticking to your guns payed off. Players do not like those that Goad, or are so High on Themselves, or Braggers. These things make you a target; everyone wants to bring down. Being nice and kind is okay, I believe. I still play just as aggressively and cautiously as everyone else. No room for Cheap Shots! GOD bless you all. [/QUOTE]
