Message: [QUOTE="Shylax, post: 723311, member: 34568"] I confess. I namecall 15% of the time. Usually I just ignore it and try to play my game. But the two instances that tick me off are: 1)The horrific beat - I'm talking the guy who raises UTG with 92o early in the tourney, gets reraised heavy by you in late position with KK, calls anyway, takes a potsized stab at the pot with nothing, you go all in and he calls off his stack only to hit runner runner 2's to take the pot. That happened to me last night. The minute he turned over the 92o I knew I lost. I always seem to lose to mindnumbingly horrible plays. Now races are races. I understand that 20% of the time my higher pair will lose to a lower pair and 25% or more of the time Ace rag will beat my AK. Those instances someone had something but ran into a bigger hand but survived. It hurts but no problem. I can see a reason due to the strentgh of their hand, their position and their stack size. I just find it hard to contain myself after a total nonsensical play. 2)The second is the know it all and 9 times out of ten, I'm not even in the hand. This is my biggest pet peeve at the table and where I do my most namecalling. You know the scenario. Someone limps UTG with Aces, gets called by 4 or 5 guys. One of the blinds flops 2 pair with a hand like 94o because they saw the flop for free or very cheap. When the 'Poker Genius' loses a significant amount of his stack, he calls the winner every name in the book. I always feel a strong urge to ridicule his play and show him everything he did wrong. God do I hate the 'Poker Genius's. So basically I take my cue from the table. If the table's quiet, I'm quiet. If the table's fun, I laugh and talk. It's just those 2 instances, The horrific bad beat and the Poker Genius that get my blood boiling. But 85% of the time I have great poker etiquette [/QUOTE]
