A Call for Civility in Poker

I agree, but I am also guilty of this sometimes. Usually, I am so tilted that I am the fish when this has happened, so I'm tapping the glass from the inside...lol

If you take a bad beat instead of typing a bunch of crap in the chat type it somewhere else or move away from your computer. Anyone who wants an idea of what being nice and friendly at a table looks like follow around Bax, he is by far the nicest pro at the tables you can run into. I consider myself one of the nicest donks.

I find that the people that berate the fish at the levels i play are actually the fish.

I used to be that guy who had a temper and would take it out on other players playing poorly. Now I internalize my anger while realizing that I recognize the right times to put my chips in the middle and over time I will be ahead.

Good post though as I see way too many people spewing their thoughts on the "correct" way to play and such. That is why poker is so interesting and difficult. So many ways to play any hand.

Man I have seen some really amazing stuff in chat boxes last few weeks. In a 200 turbo STT on stars, these 2 guys were going at it the whole time, and at one point one guy said "I really hope you get AIDS and die."

That guy is joking. He's famous for wishing AIDS and cancer upon people, but isnt really serious.

Here's a little thing that everyone who has a temper at the tables should do at least once.

-Open up notepad.
-Leaving it running while you are playing and instead of going off on someone type whatever you want to in notepad.
-Cool off for like an hour or two then come back and reread what you would have said

I think if everyone did this if would severely curb any problems people have berating fish, you can see, while NOT in the heat of the moment how much of an a-hole you would have been.
