Why do people complain about having there AA cracked against 22 , when then know they will lose 1 / 4 times? Those complainers feel entitled to win right now, when poker isn't measured in one hand but thousands? Those players lack experience in the game and more often than are the fish, whose pride keeps them from becoming better.

22 > AA 1/5 times btw. Not 1/4.

Ive noticed lately a spike in whining is this where poker is heading what says you.
I also have seen an uprising in the totality of whining. I believe it is the way our society has unfortunately changed for the worse. In the past people used to work & try to solve problems & if things got tough(ie. bad beat) they overcame & used it as motivation to become better. Nowadays it is just easier to whine & not do anything about it. It's the nanny society that Obama has created.

Exactly. Whenever a player calls another a donk, I know that more than likely, the one doing the name-calling is the real donk. The dude whose AA I cracked was out of the tourney 2 hands later because he couldn't get over his bad beat and shoved the very next time he had a decent pocket.

i feel a person has a right to say whats on there mind but not to disrespect others but its a tell and i will note them and play that tell in the future. when i have the opportunity to play that person in the future i might seem to disrespect them but i will be playing that weakness for the goal to get there stack.

When someone starts with this it is a distraction. My first thought about this is exploitable. Rant on rant on, focus has been misdirected.

2 words, poor sports.. When was the last time someone took a bad beat at a live game, and started to threaten and call the person who did it names? Never because it just doesn't happen!!!

lol I just find it funny when they say anything which is 'insulting' when they lose a hand. If its clear they have a real bad attitude I might play to it and get them even more tilted!

Well when you lose for a donk player it´s hard to fight the need to react and say what´s in your mind but poker is social game that requires some moderation but most of the whinning is people who still don´t get the game and blame everybody else for their mistakes
In poker as in life nobody wants to assume its responsibilities

I find the whiners annoying but I prefer it over a silent table (ACR mainly). Chatting helps me focus on the felt instead of tabbing out to look at youtube or social media (acquired trait of a portion of the members in my generation is that we believe we are gods at multi-tasking... we are not). It's kind of fun to needle at them in the jovial and perky tone that is, from a third party perspective, perfectly innocent but it does get under some skins. Guilty pleasure I guess.

on the tables winning

I feel over the years of playing live or on line. It's only my opinion I like to win with honor and lose with respect. Playing on line players lose respect for others because they don't see or know the other player. Over the years my game is mostly on line. If you know me I have Multiple Sclerosis and I'm in a wheelchair. I has never changed my game, a player will say thing about another player not knowing them. If you play a lot they attack family. It becomes comical and that's why I say win with honor lose with respect. Hope to see you on the tables:eek:

What do you think about the players who lose and start with offenses on the table? My take on this is that these individuals may be children; an adult does not do that sort of thing.
I'm sure you have heard of "liquid courage". In online poker you have "internet courage". On the internet people feel free to type whatever vindictive vitriol that instantly comes to their mind. Usually when a person gets pissed they instantly think of hurtful stupid things to say, but their conscience prevents them from doing it. When drinking or playing internet poker their will/conscience to NOT do/say something hurtful is evaporated. I would offer the suggestion of letting them spew & if it gets truly offensive/outrageous report it to support with table number/hand number. Don't reply to the stupidity, because as Forrest Gump said "stupid is as stupid does".

but it sure seems the players have become even more berating at the tables. most of the time its been terrible players acting like they are gods gift to poker. best part is they get even more offended when i politely say GG. :icon_chee :icon_chee
When offensive things are said which unfortunately seems to be more & more common, I simply reply "Congrats". If that doesn't seem to shut them up or if they continue on their rant I say "Congrats on your rudeness". I then take down the hand number & wait for them to spout more vitriol & then I report their incivility.

It is a microcosm of what is happening in the world. People are getting more & more rude & expecting/demanding that they get less & less punishment for their actions.

lol I just find it funny when they say anything which is 'insulting' when they lose a hand. If its clear they have a real bad attitude I might play to it and get them even more tilted!
When I first started playing about 7-8 years ago when someone sucked out big time on me I sarcastically/facetiously say nice catch. I was new to the game & didn't know the proper etiquette. Eight years later I know I surely don't say nice hand when they suck out on me, but I have tremendously restricted/abolished my facetiousness. I actually ask GOD to give me the strength to be nice to people, because I know it's my greatest weakness at the table. Even though I still sometimes fume over a suckout I now keep my mouth shut due to maturity/experience/civility.

I leave mine disabled. I don't care to hear what anyone at the table has to say.
Just to let you know, which I'm sure you already do, but some players have the perception that if a player NEVER says a thing then that player is a BOT.

I feel over the years of playing live or on line. It's only my opinion I like to win with honor and lose with respect. Playing on line players lose respect for others because they don't see or know the other player. Over the years my game is mostly on line. If you know me I have Multiple Sclerosis and I'm in a wheelchair. I has never changed my game, a player will say thing about another player not knowing them. If you play a lot they attack family. It becomes comical and that's why I say win with honor lose with respect. Hope to see you on the tables:eek:
I already sent you a message, but I think I got timed out. I therefore apologize if you have already received this message.

I think I am going to incorporate your mantra of "Win with honor & lose with respect" into my poker game. The more and more I think about it, the more and more I realize I absolutely am enthralled with that saying. It is succinct & extraordinarily simplistic, yet very profound at the next level. I sincerely say thank you & will ubiquitously employ that into my thought process before I enter a casino or sit down online.

I believe that people have "internet courage" where they feel that their ineptitude towards fellow players won't/can't have consequences. They feel they can say whatever they want & not be held responsible for their actions.

Well when you lose for a donk player it´s hard to fight the need to react and say what´s in your mind but poker is social game that requires some moderation but most of the whinning is people who still don´t get the game and blame everybody else for their mistakes

Good point. I also think that since you are playing online the ability to withhold yourself from acting like an idiot is greatly reduced due to "internet courage". Players feel they can say/do anything without any repercussions/consequences befalling their way.

What to do with someone who is very negative at the table

I was playing on Carbon Poker the other night and this guy kept posting horrible, things. An example was he stated that he hoped my kids got run over by the bus that day. He kept this up untill I got knocked out. I reported him or her to the customer service, but have not heard back.. Should I pursue this more and why do people think that they can do this on line? It was horrible and I just wanted to play poker!

Ignore them, plain and simple. If you let him in ANY WAY get under your skin, he wins, you lose, mission accomplished for a person like this. Take it like a seasoned veteran and laugh at him, and what will really get under their skin is Agreeable Sarcasm : "You're right I wish they would get run over by the bus, man you're smart and great, we should drink a beer together"
If he called you a donk, say "yeah I know can u teach me, you're an amazing player
.... Annie Duke did this to Hellmuth and it absolutely destroyed him heads up
