It was the only post ever made by the jackleg who teed me off at the table and prompted the retort. Ironically, his lone submission happened to be on the subject of chat etiquette. Nice, huh?

Rather than feel that I have "something to answer for", I would submit that it's a perfect example of the types who all-too-often sit at our freeroll tables. Fourteen months on the membership roles, and one lame post? But we don't need to tighten up our entry requirements? That gets my

I must say that I do say (nh) altough the guy got lucky, it seems to me like a polite thing but every opinion is valid here.

alot of times I think that people say NH simply to get your goat. Same reason some players give you hell even if you did do the right thing. They know you made a good play..but if they can get to ya they will try.

when someone sucks out, i just say "ouch"...

it usually gets a "lol" from the pot winner
and a "#$?*" from the loser

When do type Nice hand. I mean it and I have the time to type it out.

I find it annoying as well, I mean, do you NEED to post "nh"? When I have a nice hand, I already KNOW I have a nice hand, instead of telling me nice hand I'd rather have people telling me I PLAYED a hand well.

So you would rather see a WP than a NH. The trouble is W and P are on different ends of the keyboard. I can get NH with one hoof.

NH...

Thank you I have two of them

I believe that someone saying thanks after winning a pot without anyone complimenting them on their play is a LOT worse than saying nh. Just now I flopped a FH against trips and he made quads after we were allin on the flop. Now instead of just being quiet or even apologising for the suckout he said tanks (yeah, he even spelled it wrong). Like I was giving him money out of generosity or something. I'm really annoyed by this kind of behaviour. Sorry about hijacking this thread, just wanted to vent

Being as dashingly good looking as I am...I find any compliment to any part of my body (even my hands) to be completely justified.

Typical example:

VILLAIN wins $51.08 from the main pot with aces full of sevens.

Cue sage nods.

nh

vvnh

Bombjack:
no it wasn't, it was a terrible hand
he was all-in with 2 pair on the turn after being raised by trip kings on the flop, then sucked out when one of his four outs hit on the river

My comments are rarely appreciated for their true value.

Everyone to there own

Someone says "nh" to me I usually reply with "ydkwthyatayd" or some derivative of. It "almost" annoys me that folks are in such a hurry they don't just say what they mean.

For the longest time I thought "nh" stood for knucklehead. Then I remembered the "k" I still had to ask what it meant.
