I don't have tilt issues, you have tilt issues!

He said, "this makes me undestand why people shoot themselves." and that's pretty much word for word. And when someone chuckled, he said, "No, I'm serious." after some fish chased down his aces with suited 4,7.

It was concerning.

Also, not 15 minutes earlier, I lost to a 3 outer on the river. Turned a full house and a different guy hit his kicker on the river ... I lost like $100 on that hand, and all I said afterwards, shaking my head was "94 percent. 3 outer."

But understand, that's just one part of a constant barage of mind f***s. Some I already have described, but there are so many I can't remember them all.

Mostly what he does is constantly complain and blame white people for being racist, and it bugs me. He invites and encourages negativity, and if he doesn't cut it out ... ahhh ... Who am, I kidding, I wont do anything about it.

Maybe, if he wasn't a racisit, narcissistic POS though ... things would go better for him.

Harmony with your environment.

Even Peyton Manning, sometimes loses.

Look, I'm not gonna give the guy a cheer up talk, he doesn't want to hear it. Most of the regs I play with ... and I guess because it's unsaid, I think it's OK ... we pretty much stay out of each other's way. For instance a guy I know tonight, I had AJ on a J high flop and I put him all in on the turn and he said, "I think I am outkicked." and I sid, "Yeah, you are." And he folded what he said was QJ and I showed AJ.

It's a little different. I was ahead the whole way, and betting the best hand and I NEVER make up stupid stuff about people being racist that are not at all being racist. I would not accuse someone of being racist unless they like ... specifically were abusive to a specific race on a regular basis while playing a check call against people of their own race.

Dude, you're officially on mega-tilt.

Got value on the flop, bombed the turn. You flopped or turned a set, I am gonna pay you off there and not complain about it.

I'm just tired of reg infested, nit infested ... bad cash games. I gotta get outta Tucson. Again. Reemember what it's like to play against 8 or 9 players you never played with before?

I'm happy if there's one, these days.

Thinking of driving 100 miles to phoenix, just to play cash games.

Taking your advice.

Glad I could start a conversation on a really, unimportant subject but a larger issue.

Nite all.

I'm with you on that. This is one of those little things that irritaes me for exactly this reason: most of the time it isn't a problem, but when it is, it's a huge problem. You are very upset over it, and I don't blame you.

But how would you enforce it? What steps do you want the room to take to enforce it?

Okay, so the dealer says, "no soft play." Do you rewind the hand? Kick out the player? What about next time he just has the second nuts? Do you kick him out then, too? What if he says "okay okay, sorry sorry," and the entire table pleads with you to let him stay. What do you do then?

I want to enforce this. I just can't find a way to do it. What's your advice? I want something beyind "I won't tolerate it." Give me something I can use, please.

Guy posts about soft play in the thread

Guy then post about an example of him soft playing in the thread

[ ] op has common sense

[ ] if op had it his way and ran his own poker room it would be super successful because no soft play

[x] if op ran his own poker room it would die

so you cheat the same as him. white ppl are so hypocritical. i can understand why some ppl want to shoot themselves.

Thank you for not putting the apostrophe in "ifs."

My response to this obvious angle (while tossing you a chip): "Here's a red bird to buy the bullet."

Why on earth would you say something like that?

Sure ya do. I mean, you've dated some of those people. You just keep bringing up "Mexicans" over and over as a non-racist observation.

lol you're making me wish I was there.

Can a mod please change title to racist idiot admits to soft play in his own thread about soft play?

i hate softplaying and think it's pathetic but other than just calling this guy with the nut flush he didn't do anything wrong. nothing the op described was angle shooting.

Oh hell I missed that post.

So OP, how would you go about banning yourself from your room? How would that conversation go?

I'm pretty sure OP is delightful person at the table..

I apologize for anything I said that offended anybody.

I have added to my arsenal, complain incessantly in order to tilt your opponents. Not sure I'll use it anytime soon, but my few remaining friends can tell you ... I can complain with the best of them.

Someone said they folded an ace. He slow played his A7 off on the AA5 flop and I had pocket fours. 4 on the turn gave me a boat. 3 outs is about 6 percent. The ace was gone.

Call it 7.

What, you think he's capable of adjusting because I said the math out loud?

Please.

Actually, 6 outs. 14%.

The point, which you're clearly missing, is that you got him to put his money in with very little equity. Then you berated (sorta? you're basically saying aloud "Why would you do something so stupid?") him for it because your ego is more important than the long term money you'd make against this guy. In the mean time, berating him almost every time is going to 1.) make him tighten up 2.) kill the vibe at the table and tighten everyone else up.


But your ego is what's important, right? You'd rather everyone know how good at poker you are....

Sigh. Angus hasn't memorized the math yet. i was already down to percentages. Since someone folded an ace it was 3 outs.

Poker, lately, has left a bad taste in my mouth. I've been here before and come back even stronger. Right now I just need a break. I haven't even been playing much, just tired of the whole scene. I need to stop all the way, until I miss it.

Thanks for listening.

He needed either a 7 for a bigger boat, or an ace for quads. But as soon as the cards were turned up, another player said they folded an ace, so that out was gone. 3 outer. 6-7 percent chance, I was a 94% favorite, had him right where I wanted him ... seen worse. Seen one outers. Seen, runner, runner one outers.

Cruel game sometimes.
