Wanted to share a video about funny poker celebrations with all of you here :)

I'm pretty sure you're familiar with most or even everything here, but it alwasy makes me laugh, especially in a tense game like poker to see the emotions erupt and players act like human beings with feelings...

Oldies + new...I hope you enjoy this video.

Any funny celebrations from your own poker experience you recall?

That was very funny and more knowing that they have won a lot of money.

I will say that I find this a real topic. People play the game of poker for many different reasons. One example from my experience was in a bar tournament in the basement of a bar, with a $50 buy in, with re-entries for the first hour.
There were around 50 players, first was around $1200, second about $800 I believe. I was at the final table against a very unrefined player, as most bar players are, but I knew him, he works for the local telephone company burying lines and such. Any way, at the final table with about 5 left, we got in to a pot, where I had top pair, with a gut shot and a flush draw. I got myself pot committed, and the player simply did not understand how someone could call ANY amount of money without a made hand, particularly if you put the opponent on a hand that is ahead of yours, but have to call.
I told him I put him on the over pair, and had made the mistake of trying to push him off it before the river on a very threatening board.
The hands turn over and the money is in, I hit my flush. The guy is shaking, was literally spitting mad when he saw my call after putting him on his hand, AA. He pounded his fists off the table and looked me dead in the eye. His face turned bright red, and his shaking continued, as a stream of blood started rolling out of his nose. His wife grabbed him around the shoulders and people pulled him back. I wasn't scared, I could take him, I just wish he hadn't taken it so personally. But he said at the top of his lungs, "What?!! I play this game to feel something!"
He was playing to feel an extreme, to feel the emotion of competition, beyond reason. Meta thoughts, calculating odds, and bet sizes, it has nothing to do with the player trying to feel a rush. And I feel that as a poker community it is important to be aware of the different players, and respect and appreciate each of them, even beyond unflattering actions. Not even to simply see them as prey, but to be happy someone else is excited to play the game of poker, and get in there and "bore around a lil' bit" as the bar regulars used to commonly exclaim.
I feel that for someone who wishes to be a leader in poker, and gain respect, controlling your emotions are a big part of earning that. We all have to respect the players that bring the hype, and bring the emotion, even as we dismantle them, but they should never lead to us compromising our own self-respect...
Just my 2 cents...

That was funny alright. Amazing the amount of quads that cleaned up.
I love Mikes responce and poor Phil. Never been a fan anyway.

Great post my man, thank you for sharing!

I agree with you 100%, there are all kinds of players playing poker, some do it for the rush (gamblers), some as an escape of problems in life, some as a hobby and some to earn money, calculated, analyzing and so on.

It is important to know to deal with each and everyone and try to be as respectful and professional as you can, like you said - not take things personally because it's all about the game and around the table at that moment.

I remember a lot of times when I got mad or other people and words were thrown everywhere, but when the game was over and everyone calmed down, they apologized to one another and all was good, everybody were friends again.

I agree with you, good post and as for the video it was meant to be entertaining and not make fun of anyone, I hope it was entertaining and that now it's all cleared.

Have a great day! :)

Yes, him.

The first psychiatrist who sees him anywhere will lock him up.

Come on, he was funny...although after a while it can be irritating, I agree...especially to the other players around the table with him who just try to focus on the game and not his craziness :)

Celebrations are part of poker! Emotions run high in different situations! Some players want to get in your head and throw you off your game!

I have seen most of these clips before. Good entertainment and a little pain for the players on the ends of those beats.

It was funny to a certain extent. I can understand this from a drunk guy at a local cardroom. You just have to have some common sense here, the WSOP is not a place for such behaviour.

Yes, in that matter I agree with you...so people better tell Hellmuth the behavior code as well :) Although during the last 2015 Main Event, he was real nice and not a single blowout or tilt moment from him that I've noticed...
