My favorite anger at me poker moment was when some guy who I had just won a big pot off of immediately went all in with his next hand (dead giveaway for being on-tilt) Everyone else folded and it came to me and I had something like King-8 and the big stack. We were playing tournament style, and I put him on tilt. He had like 4-8 offsuit or something like that. He got mad at me for calling. I explained to him three times that he was on tilt, but he kept on insisting that it was dumb for someone to call with King-8 preflop. Yes it is, but not when the other person is on tilt and you have a big stack to play with in a tourney game.
What's even worse is that it was a $5 beer money game (I won't play for any serious money, I just love the game).

90% of people don't know what hands to play. 90% of people don't know how to bet. Not only that but many a person out there if you play for pennies or fake money plays stupid and says "well if we were playing for real money" Sorry, but if you are truly good at poker you play pretty much the same whether its play money or real money. A little more risk taking with the play money maybe, but not stupid.

The OP's situation is the same as rational, adult adjeosshi getting upset because I don't like South Korean food and their healthy, nutrituous white rice, and my response is the same. I repeat as often as necessary, both over cards and the quality of Korean food.

"what"? "what"?

"What"? "What"?

"WHAT"? "WHAT"?

Amongst the civilized it's understood.
You've got to be good people first,
if you're a bad card player, all the better.

I always bet on the card I need coming up on the river (or what ever, I've played thousands of hands of poker but never really learned the rules or that much strategy). The odds are better than slot machines. It's way more exciting because I would rather win a few hands then bow out on a huge raise, then to play for three hours and still lose. It's the same amount of enjoyment and the big guys still get my money in the end.

Any player worth their salt knows bad beats happen and that the poker is about a long-term payoff.

I should add that that hand I mentioned we were heads up and I pushed all in after the flop, can not fault the playing from him or me.

Yes people are entitled to call, but I still hate to watch the Donkey suck out, and I hate guys thinking that when they push all in, get a caller with the better hand and suck out that they are the better player.

I do play with like minded people for the most part, I long ago weeded the drunk and or all in pre flop round 1 players from my table.

Regardless I always get choked ( at the cards not the person) when I have better than 90 percent odds and get the suck out.

God knows I have called with weak cards before, but on the same token playing stupid and reckless when you have power moves infront of you, like a nmber of them ,and you KNOW you must be beat is simply bad play and I personally do not like it.

But of course even that depends on how much you have , what round, how close you are to the blinds etc. Sometimes you HAVE to make the call with a 7 high.

There's no such thing as a wrong play. You play your game and I'll play mine. The winner is the winner because they played their game their way.
