you guys are funny.
this sounds like a hand i TOTALLY would have berated you for. right. i love the stories from randoms about me flipping people off or berating people for no reason... like that EVER would have happened. if you're gonna complain about something i supposedly did five years ago to you, at least make it believable. it makes no sense that i would have berated you for a play that is 100% standard by the book poker.
the thing is... i've never been bitter or mean at the table, just very competitive. that means i never ever have "berated" people for completely standard plays, and i almost never "berated" amateurs. i just used to, admittedly, have a bad habit of getting upset about terrible plays from players i thought were supposed to be better than that. every now and again, when i get emotional for one reason or another, that comes up again. i think those that know me know that it's just a symptom of my hyper-competitive nature and i don't ever mean anything by it, but i get that it comes across poorly on TV. that's cool.
i'm sure people will always make up stories... i just thought the people who are actually watching might care to understand... sometimes when you're really caught up in the moment, you can get overly emotional when someone you think will act one way acts another. most of the time i'm just mad at myself for thinking one thing when another thing happened... i.e. i made a mistake, and i'm upset about that, and it comes across in a negative way. ah well, i'll continue to work on it and have this be rarer and rarer, most people will notice that, and i'm sure i'll also continue to read random made-up stories as well.
as far as this hand itself, me and kevin are over it and we're cool again, so you guys might as well get over it too.
