Before there was any No Limit there was a $5-$5 pot limit holdem game at Foxwoods. This may be were the floors got mixed up on the min (I remember $100, but there was def no max). This game ran around the time Rounders came out, late 90's, way before Moneymaker. That was running daily and when FARGO came to town they would run a 1/2 baby pot limit 1/2 Omaha 1/2 Holdem game. Back then when ever you played something no or pot limit at 1/2 it was called baby. Baby No Limit game you will see referenced in old card player advertisements, before it became the norm. Rooms would advertise for people wanting to play no limit, cause you couldn't find it anywhere at the time.

Getting really annoyed lately. Everytime I hit a hand against a "good" player they berate me for like ten minutes. Am I allowed to tell the floor to keep them quiet or something? it is really rude and embarrassing not to mention annoying. For all those professional type players they really can't keep their mouth shut.

It is really ruining my experience regardless of how much money I am winning.

Let's just take this hand as example. I may have played it really bad but the dude doesn't have to yell at me for ten minutes and talk crap.

3 handed I am on the button. Flop comes Ad 3c 10d. First guy bets like 25 with Q high flush draw. Second dude (the guy who yelled at me) raises to 70. I have the nut flush draw so I just shove. Other guy calls and the dude who yelled at me whines like a baby then folds. My hand holds and I turn it over. Guy who folded sees it and goes on a crybaby tangent for 10 minutes, talking crap and saying how horrible a player I am.

Just so sick of it.

Instead of letting it bother you, try to use it to induce action you might not normally get.

Well, if you're suspecting that someone who behaves this way may not be too professional, you may be on to something.
Actually, if it really bothers you that much, you can ask (not "tell") a Floor to tell him to stop berating you (which they will do), or you can just change tables.
But it might be better to just agree with him and continue to take his money.
More importantly, you may want to develop enough confidence in yourself so that comments like this (and other things) don't tilt you so easily.

these ppl who cry and whine are usually not that great themselves and do ruin the game for some they make new players feel uncomfortable and they try and get bad players to play good however, theres not much that can be done and this will be an issue everywhere you go

table change-plenty of other games to help you deal with the plenty of losers at the woods and every other cardroom. it is really annoying, in fact any discussion about another players play positive or negative is annoying

Is it ok to berate yourself at the table?

God I hope so since I feel like doing it roughly four or five times I play.

Personally, it gives me a warm feeling when someone gets pissed about my play and berates me. Anything that distracts them from making sound decisions is +EV for me.

u gotta use it to your advantage, he thinks you suck, he has lost respect.

any berating just go along with it.

if you can't laugh at yourself then u cant laugh

Man, games were so amazingly good tonight. Seriously, I was at a 2/5 table with 15k, at least, on it. Every pot was 3 bet preflop. Asian kid who just had a big score in AC kept check raise bluffing the turn(to $400 usually) then folding when shoved on. BEST 2/5 GAME EVER!!!
Last hand I saw was a $5k pot. Guy shoved $2300 in with 2nd pair and was called by bottom pair and a flush draw with overs. Flush draw got there
Had an awesome meal at Craftsteak as well. IF anyone goes there soon, you have to get the bacon with arugula and honey. It is braised and seared pork belly. I have eaten there probably 50 times and this is the best thing that I have ever had there.

As my friend said yesterday after being criticized for making a marginal albeit the right call "Laugh all the way to the bank."

That should rub them the wrong way and make them tilty

Several things to come to mind:
1. Not cool to see it done or watch someone catch another's ire.
2. Take advantage of their tilt
3. Can make worse players play better (no judgement on this hand or player)
4. Might make a target change tables or not play lowering your ev
5. Supposed better player should know A-crap can be a harrowing hand to play.
6. This type of move can be a good move against the right players.
7. A while back I had a maniac berate me because I called his A-K all in with A-Q and spiked a Q. After a bit of annoying berating, I told him his play was so good he had confused me and as I didn't think he had anything.
8. Have the ability to tune out idiots and take advantage.

My $.02!!

For the FPC are all the satellites just steps to the main or can you use them to buy in to the smaller tournaments?

just tell them straight up that if he was any kind of good poker player he kill for people to make bad moves vs him. idiots like that cant respond well to simple logic so maybe he'll just stop talking. don't tap on the fish tank right?

or just wear headphones

Starting to find myself at fw more and more and wanted to know what if any are the rules with table changes. I see people switch then not allowed to bring more than 500 (2/5) then the next time they have to bring everything etc
