Strict 'no talk' policy - Page 2 - Poker Card Room

But when i am playing i am not a pro. I am there to have a good time. And my idea of a good time is just a chance to unwind and relax. So if I don't want to participate in his jackassery why is it more important for him to have a good time than for me to have a good time?

I'm not saying I am going to try to drive him off. I'm just saying I don't you should expect me to give up my good time so he can have a good time.

And if you are trying to be a pro ... driving me away from a game doesn;t seem like a good idea either......

There is probably some middle ground where you can respect my idea of having fun and his idea of having fun rather than to insult me for being quiet and not participating in his party.

Sure, I'd never say that in game to you. But on here, I usually assume we're talking about optimal poker strategy.

Anyone is welcome at my poker table, but especially people there just to have fun and enjoy themselves.

Try to socialize more in real life. You will enjoy silent tables soon

But my point is that you pros should not assume that us quiet reserved people aren't there to have fun. And if it's important to keep the fish happy ... don't forget about keeping me happy.... not just loud fish.

I just think it's a bit extreme.
