<u>Poker Showboating</u>
Just as I dislike the end zone showboating dances in football, I hate the screaming-jump-around-the-table showboating of poker tournaments (or cash games on the occasions I have seen it).
When you have just busted your opponent, I think it is great class if you control your outbursts and just shake your opponent's hand and say 'good game' - even if your opponent is a whiny loser. But if you have to jump up and scream and basically piss on your opponent's beat, I think that is low class. If you need to scream and jump up and down, then run to the restroom and get in the stall and do your little dance.
I understand the need to celebrate but at least wait until the person you just busted has left - or run off somewhere and let it all out. Maybe being on camera makes a lot of people lose themselves...who knows.
Just a newbies opinion. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
