Asking Players Not To Sit With You NLTRN

[Othello]

[ QUOTE ]
Am I dumb?

Whenever anyone asks me not to sit v them in a heads up SNG, I respect that request and avoid playing them.

I have asked 4 players not to sit against me.. BBJ and Genius have acted classy and avoided me.. however, two players (I won't reveal their names) continue to sit against me and annoy the hell out of me.

I wish stars would have a refuse button whereby if you are sitting you can refuse to play an opponent.

Am I an idiot for not sitting against players who I have a clear edge against? Should I just ignore their requests and play away.

[/ QUOTE ]

OF COURSE you should play them!!

I know you are referring to me, this is SHAHIN86 on my friends acc, havent made an account here.

Poker is about making money. I want to play you day and night, 100 games per day. I really dont care if you dont want to play me, thousands of dollars is worth more than YOUR respect to me.

So stop stalling and using the timebank EVERYHAND we play until we reach 50 100 and play me like a man.

Never played such a chicken like you. Seat open.

Don't worry, whether you continue sitting against me or not, I will never respect you. Anyone who trash talks their opponents, berates bad players and generally behaves like a rude, inconsiderate little punk will never win my respect.

If you insist on sitting against me I will continue to play the strategy which maximises my EV.

There should be a thread about that instead, if it should be allowed. Its funny though you realize you are such a fish that you have to stall every hand and get up to 50 100 to have a chance beating me. Playing poker instead isnt fun huh? Lottery ftw.

I have mailed the stars support and they claimed they will take some kind of action against this as this is not what the time bank is intended for. Finally, play like a man.

Well, your attitude withstanding, I 100% agree with you Othello.

Nothing frustrates me more than having to wait for the players to make a decision when they are playing me. I have analyzed the later levels for this purpose, so I don't care if they think they are building some sort of edge against me. They are diminishing my edge, but they aren't beating me.

I don't comprehend why so many players feel like they should only play people that they have a large edge against. I am game to take on all opponents. I don't care if it's a drunken retard or Barry Greenstein. My goal is to become the best I can possibly be at this game, and running over idiots at the 11s is not going to prepare me to beat up on the 5000s. If I have to play a tough opponent once every ten games or so, then so be it. Part of placing my money on the table accepting all challenges at all costs, win or lose.

I have played against players who are equal/ better than me. With some of them, we talked about what we were doing and why. We can all learn from each other, even with a bit of trash talking.

With the players pools so large, there is no reason to worry about playing the same opponents over and over again. I doubt that by randomly sitting at tables, I am playing against the same player more than once every two weeks.

The really funny thing is Shahin really hasn't got any edge against me anyway.

His total profit, ROI and average profit are all considerably smaller than mine. The only players who I think are flat out better than me are Iftarii, Genius and BBJ. I wouldn't like playing Thephenom, thepabloshow and jasonmac either.

I play poker for fun and I detest playing an arrogant, trash talking and rude little punk like him.

Hey Camel. Are these all players at Tilt? I don't play there too often. I did notice that seat selection seems easier there than Stars, as they seem to have 2 or 3 tables open at a time and the screen name in the lobby box, where at Stars, there is one table that pops up, and there is no time to see who is sitting there, since you would have to open the lobby, and then sign in.

But, yes, I agree with you, that calling your opponent "idiot," "donkey," or whatever is a demonstration of the lowest form of life. If people said the things they say in chat to me in a real casino, there would be plenty of camera evidence of why they had a broken nose.

No Dave, it's at Stars.. at the 550+20 level the games don't nearly as quickly.

We can add liar to your long list of faults I see.

Of course Stars won't take "some sort of action against this". There have been several threads on 2+2 where players have complained against stallers and Stars have consistently replied that players can use their time bank any way they see fit.

Sort of off topic but I really can't stand seeing a good player tearing in to a fish, either when the fish does something dumb and loses or does something dumb and sucks out. It's not only a nasty thing to do, it discourages the fish from playing, or maybe makes him try to improve. So it's stupid for all of our bottom lines, and more importantly, it's rotten to do something that only accomplishes making someone feel bad.
