You know, I'm swayed by your thoughtful, reasoned argument. I take it all back.

the point is I'm winning on the up and up, a little more than couch change as it were. can you and your fellow 2+2 punkass degenerate immediate-gratification wastrel junkie weasel wannabees say the same?

antisocial - I fail to see how your win-rate in online-poker or your dislike for other 2+2'ers has anything to do with the issue at hand.
In case you forgot, the issue we are discussing is about a bunch of drunken railbirds behaving even more inappropriately than normal and how this general raucous railbird behavior is getting a bit out of hand.


The issue of your obvious poker-greatness and how much awesomer you are vs. all other 2+2'ers combined really doesn't have much to do with this. Feel free to start your own thread about this topic in BBV though.

Even worse are the posses who yell at the opponents - sometimes during a hand:

[ QUOTE ]
Jerry Yang limped and Hevad Khan raised 500,000. Yang called. The flop was {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Yang checked. Khan counted out his chips and gently pushed out a 650,000 bet. Khan had been unusually quiet and he sat in dead silence. Jerry Yang counted down his chips then announced a raise to 1,650,000. Khan looked at Yang then looked at the board before he moved all in for 1,825,000 more. Yang stood up as Khan sat in silence looking down at his cards. Yang went into the tank for a few minutes and stared at Khan.

"Get a read yet?" shouted someone from the rail.

TD should be ejecting that guy on the spot.

Earlier someone's friend yelled at an opponent after opponent won a bad beat.

Let the players play (and if they so decide, to be classless in the spirit of the history of poker). Spectators should STFU.

That absolutely sucks. Last year at the WSOP FT, they had a list of spectator rules posted outside the seating area, which included not heckling other players. While people would cheer when their player won a hand, there wasn't any taunting/heckling...TD should definitely take care of that nonsense.

have you ever met a 2p2er? (what with your social limitations and all)

I've met and partied with a fair number of MSNL/HSNL/MTTC 2p2ers and all of them were super chill guys fwiw. I've xferred/coinflipped thousands of dollars with 2p2ers and never worried about being scammed/grimmstar'd. ActionJeff and another 2p2er paid a $2000 dinner tab without ever having met some of the guys there (like me) before that day.

fwiw I've played as high as nl2k before and I can confidently say that every pot you collude to win in is twice as sweet.

[/ QUOTE ]

So you admit you're a scumbag cheat like just about every other internet punk who cleaned up during the halcyon days of online poker?

If his behavior on Stars is any indication, I would guess $2k doesn't even begin to touch what "Action Jeff" has amassed in typical 2+2 scumbag fashion.

My first post was entirely related to the subject at hand, maybe you ought to go back through the thread.

As is often the case in here some moron decided to attack me for voicing my opinion on a particular aspect of tournament poker I really don't like.

Naturally since I am so completely superior to the new generation of attention starved adolescent wankers and wannabees who typically can't find it within themselves to be gracious toward someone busted out on a bad beat, I felt compelled to say a few things that have been on my mind.

pretty sick that my entree that night was worth more than your entire roll; lobster seasoned in the tears of microstakes fish is my favorite.

it has to be aspergers, right? right? only someone with aspergers could be convinced that being an antisocial retard is better than having a sick amount of money before you turn 20.

<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]

For those saying it wouldn't be mentioned (about drunken railbird supporters) if a guy was involved ...

A Concerned Wife
Jon Kalmar's wife called her husband over. She said something to the effect that his drunken friends were making him look bad. Over the last hour, they have been screaming, yelling, and even cursing while hands are in progress. They have not be escorted from the area, but Kalmar had to tell them to chill out a couple of times.

Aside from Kalmar's rowdy and drunken railbirds, it's been relatively quiet.
