I did have some great suckouts vs Stacy's mom and donated a few bucks to jfresh. Good times.

A lot of the time the good player even leaves. Bad etiquette or good game selection?
I expect this when i start tables. I don't see any problem here.

Screen name is Plus2. I am a .5/1 and 1/2 reg that had way too many drinks and thought I could play with the big boys.

I am the dude who raised flop, raised turn and capped river with QJ on a 69J6Q board into your QQ. I have looked at the hand 3 times and I am not really sure what I was thinking on the river. It was BvB, and 3 pair is usually good in BvB so please take that into consideration.

On the subject of chat-tilting. I hardly ever do it, but enjoy telling the regs that they are fish.

I don't think anybody who starts table is going to particularly like you, but what do you care? People do this to me constantly, but there is nothing I can do about it. Getting upset isn't going to help either. It's like the whole "HUHU plz" thing. Do people still actually let people play HUHU if just the reg asks?

Haha. I remember that board, I thought I looked at the hand history though, didn't you have a 6?

this, since they always do it to me, and there's no way every tag would ever stop doing it, there's no point in following such an etiquette myself

(because i know that table's about to have 3 more fish join, and then i'll be the one with good position)

The only time it really tilts me is when you let me play the fish for 8 hands first, he wins every single one then sit in between me and the fish and i just want you to die a horrible death.

(ok, you're really only a vulture if you sit there hovering over all the tables that have single regs waiting, then jump in as soon as a fish sits. Which i have been known to do )
I probably do this to you a lot

Does he think he's bluffing or value raising? It's terrible as either, but I bet he doesn't know which he's attempting.

Yeah, I am completely bewildered, and I don't want to get too far inside of his head (as it must be a very dark place).

Probably just tilting. Probably sick of being 3-bet and raised every time or having he A high every time he has a pair. Just frustration raises.

Any limit miles below where you get a buzz is boring. I needed to withdraw most of my roll and have had to move from 3/6 to .5/1 and its mind numbing.

Too bad there is little excitement in our PL fantasy league. Places 1-3 are all a lock and have been for some time.
lastditch is a sicko and you signed up a little late probably

But it is so much fun. I forgot how much fun it was to win a $100 pot. The black chippies are so much prettier than the green and red ones.

The funny thing is that I have run really well when I take shots. I am an overall loser at 1/2, but a winner at 3/6 and 5/T. Maybe I need to move up where they respect my raises.
