OT - For your amusement! Ultimate slowplay!!!

Since few of you guys are playing at the same games as Jay, I don't see why this matters to you. In fact, I'd like to point out that most of you are, in some sense, berating a fish.

Excuse me, I think my head is going to explode.

Did you hear that Party's buttons are disappearing?

I'm getting torn apart here. Someone defend me here, its a one sided fight at the minute.

I bet everyone here has done a bit of berating here and there.

Only if you consider "nh" berating. I usually say nothing, but if I'm really, really pissed and absolutely have to say something, I just go with "nh."

I obviously berated the Aces guy to hell after this hand

why?

I just can't help myself. I love berating fish. Passes the time.

You are a fish. You work hard (I assume) become better at the game and make +ev plays, but why even bother if you are going to take such -ev actions such as this?

Even worse, you are an ass hole.

Only on occasions when I'm in a [censored] mood for whatever reason. I agree with the posts in here, but I don't agree with the holier than thou attitude. I bet everyone here has done a bit of berating here and there.

if it's that obvious, it means you do it a lot. that's not a good thing. sure, lots of people do it, that doesn't mean it's acceptable. there's no reason to do it, and it hurts your EV, so don't do it. it's that simple.

Fair enough. Slightly hypocritical of you to call me a [censored] moron however.

[NHFunkii]

that's not hypocritical at all. that doesn't hurt my EV. if I can get you to stop berating fish, it can only help my EV (although we probably don't play the same games). I'm calling you a moron for your own good.

First, put a note on this guy that he sees monsters under the bed, that's the real reason he didn't bet.

Second, if you are going to berate players at least have the common sense to wait until a horrible beat so they will feel good about their play.

Third, don't be an A-hole, if some one wants to suck at poker you should let him do so in peace. On a more personal note, people berating me are part of the reason I came to this forum and began to take the game seriouly (the other part is I like money)

Bet you thought you'd post a funny story and now the whole forum gets on your case, that my friend is irony

[StupidAcesSigh]

After limping in with aces it is often correct to play extremely passively on a bad flop. While he may have bet the flop, on the turn a flush appeared and on the river the board was a one card straight. He may very well have played correctly.

On the other hand, you're an idiot.
