Is it just me, or do people talk more trash in the lower limit/buy ins??

So Ive noticed something when it comes to 10cent buy ins compaired to the $5+ buy in, when someone gets knocked out or comes to observe the table, they talk ALOT more trash then they do in the $5+ buy ins. I mean, they cry and complain when they get knocked out, they talk about how bad the person is, how he hopes he gets knocked out...yadda yadda ... you know the people im talking about.

So is this just me, or is this a common theme when it comes to this. that the higher the buy in the less bad mouthing and trash talking and the lower the buy in = more bad mouthing

You are correct, Sir. Much more at lower levels. Most players playing for an amount that is significant won't say anything.

I agree with you, seems the lower buyins players have bigger mouths. That's not to say ALL of them and that's not to say there aren't people like that in the higher buyins. I just tend to ignore them, it doesn't make them stop but it won't hurt my game either (as I think it would if I got into a b*****ng match with them). What I find funny is they're usually the ones that are out first

Definetly a lot more trash talk at lower tables, guess it just goes with some of the awful play down there too.

Bigger mouths and lower ages. Most of the time, the player spouting off is probably a 16-yr-old punk using freeroll winnings or mommy's credit card.

lmao, exactly.

I know your telling the truth .But I think they complain because its there only 10cents there broke ....Or why complain about 10cents..they also play tighter in little buyin tournys I have noticed.... xBecca

at the higher games, the players let there skill do the talking

Turn off chat and free yourself from the headache and tilt inducing nuisance.

Thats what I do as needed .... and on occasion I will tell them I turned there chat off which seems to send them into further **** ... **** ....

he he he ...

I have noticed this too. I think it is because they have no idea what they are talking about. They think not catching an Ace when they call for all thier chips is a bad beat. They think loosing to a kicker is a bad beat. Whether the are ignorant or just young they are definitely louder at low level buy ins.

You gotta love it when someone call your all in with 7 2 off and you turn up your pocket rockets and he proceeds to calls you a donk as well all kind of other flattering names and tells you you don't know how to play poker and how much he likes your mother. Then he ends catching trip 2's and he tells you to go somewhere and how great of a player he is. (maybe I've been playing too many freerolls)

Gotta love online poker.

I talk trash at all levels. 3/6 or .25/.50 it doesn't matter to me. I just like to talk. I also have my chat banned for 3 months for dropping a few too many f bombs. OOOPS!

I love to talk trash at the table especially if some donk just called my QQ with j3 and hit two pair on the flop you best believe ill be chatting crap for the next half hour lol and with a name like SuCK_iT_gooD_ on UB i encourage it.

Nice line, that was smooth

Yes, it's sooooooo much better to teach a horrible player than it is to sit quietly and take his money.

Does it make you feel better to berate someone for a bad play? Do you gain anything from it? Do you think other players think you are cool or just the world's greatest poker player when you are doing it? If you had AA and he had KK but caught a K on the flop would you still belittle him for his call? What is your goal when you open your mouth at the table?

I don't know, I think I've seen more trash talk while railing the Sunday Million than anywhere. Not vulgar chat banned stuff, but trash talk.

do you sign autographs since your that cool??

edit, that should be edited in at the beggining of rounders in stead of the "spotting the fish at the table thing" or sometime in the movie

Usually peopl at the higher limit table don't talk much at all other than nh. Lower limit table though...totally different story, that's where all the pros hang out and want to tell you how to play

That's because there are so many bad players taking shots. In general it does seem that the better players talk a lot less trash. The higher the levels, the more players are better. Sure you get the occasional Hellmuth at the higher limits, but mostly if you're good enough to win at those limits, you're good enough to realize where you're money's coming from.

Also, the lower limits a lot more of the time is a person's entire bankroll. They'll not worry about BRM and expect to win, and they need to blame someone for their loss, so they blame "the donks". Similar to the Sunday Million, probably a lot of players taking shots, can't really afford bankroll-wise to not cash, and get pissed when they lose to a suckout.

Maybe that's the way you play. Not everyone likes to sit there like a baby with a pacifier in their mouth.

"Does it make you feel better to berate someone for a bad play? Do you gain anything from it? What is your goal when you open your mouth at the table?"

I know your post wasn't responding to me but I'll answer your questions. No it doesn't make me feel better, but I enjoy letting someone know that I am better than them and there isn't anything they can do about it. Yes, I do gain something from it. Usually when you go after a guy with a little chit chat that puts you on his radar. He wants a piece of you, and is more likely to make a bad call or bad play to try and take some of your $ or stack. My goal? I think I just explained that. I'm a good enough player to where I want action. If I have to talk, berate, or criticize someone when I believe it will help give me even more of an edge then yes I am going to do it.

lol I don't think too many care much, especially when they have their money. But if you could, why the hell would you want them thinking they're bad? Do you want them to get better? Basically your motive seems to be a childish crave for dominance, the playground bully if you will.


lol you already said he's bad, why would you need to tilt him worse? Oh and I'd bet money that you're the one who's gonna end up playing worse and going after him more than the other way around.

HU 4 Rollz?

lol but you already said they were a donk, and I don't believe that it isn't you that would lose your edge, assuming you had one in the first place.

Even better, if this is really your goal, why don't you berate the players who make good plays, and pretend they're bad? That way you gain an edge from other players maybe semi-tilting, but mostly thinking you're a donk so will give you more action.

Your a funny guy. HU for rollz lol, don't write a check you can't cash.

The best thing about the way I play is that I have chat turned off completely all the time, so I don't ever see what you're saying, or even know that you're saying anything at all. So let me ask you, if you're berating me and I can't hear you, who, other than you, is effected by your talk? Tilt, tilt, tilt. Even better you think I have been effected by your babble so you think I'm just playing back at you next time we're in a hand when actually I'm just playing my normal game like nothing ever happened and you give me even more of your $$. Tilt, tilt, tilt, and talk some more.

lol well obviously it was sarcasm, you said you wanted action, but depending on your roll I'd consider it if you actually want to.

The thing is I talk when I'm happy. I talk when I'm mad. I talk when I'm winning. I talk when I'm losing. I talk when I'm drunk. I talk when I'm high. IT IS A PART OF MY GAME! Come on you know everyone doesn't play the same style of poker.

I don't assume everyone I try to talk to has been affected by my babble. If I try to chat with a particular individual and they aren't giving me the time of day I just go back to playing. Some will chat, some won't.

Me on tilt? Maybe my freshman year of college when I was skipping classes to play poker, but that was a long time ago. Do I steam? OF COURSE we all do, but I don't allow myself to go on tilt anymore. If I feel that coming I just sit out.

Yea I'm just giving you a hard time man. You're one of the better players on here. I personally think I am as well, but I'm not much of a HU cash game player anyways. Not my style. You play strictly on Stars?

alright yeah sorry I was kind of a jerk with that post, not trying to start anything, my initial comment was just sarcasm. But yeah I play strictly Stars.

Nah you weren't a jerk. It's all good.
