I also agree... sometimes I even get upset at how some folks play .... to the point they even ticks me off ... lol... but still gives one no right to be abusive or talk trash at anyone... I have had some call me names all the way to the B word... They don't even know me.. I am sure I have made mistakes at the table.. I am still learning the game .. so maybe those who talk hateful will one day open their eyes and look at them own selves.. Have a wonderful week.. GL...

- -quite a figure of speech --had to laugh when I read -

"that is well known for being abusive beyond the point of niceness."

JB - -- lol---lol - -can't stop giggling !

I didn't see final table but I have a good idea who make those comments. Curses people out and when has blogs deleted invokes freedom of speech violated, too funny.

Most players on SC are very respectful of one another.Most of those who mouth off cannot accecpt the fact the seem to get beat more often than most. They never think it might be they are not very good players,I have been on SC since 02/08/2008 and the more players SC signs up the more chance for rude and abvsive players at the tables.Ignore them it will drive them nutz LOL. No one has ever won a tourney without some luck ever,so enjoy the good friends you will make,ignore the Donks and the un c

Amen brutha.....I keep all negativity and contempt in my own house only.

Well, I was on that final table, went out a very disappointed 2nd place. The winner, Calladin, played extremely well, he deserves our support and respect. I think the real issue with the game is, at that point in the tourney, the blinds & antes will eat you up. Very little play is allowed under the current structure. It absolutely becomes an all-in fest. No one looks good under this structure. Naive and inexperienced players (ok, I am trying to be nice) may have a hard time understanding t

Very true - and at that stage of a tourney if everyone plays their A game then it's down to the cards and nothing more. And if they make a mistake they make a mistake - hell the pros do it on TV. There is no need for that kind of trash talk. And it should never be defended. Oh well.

It is always the players that never make a final table that talk trash about SC. The ones at the final tables are just playing cards. You know what I mean.

I too saw that SC member spoutting off on the final table. If he/she were speaking of me, which they wern't, it would have been so true! I was in the top 15 and only been playing poker since August..ever!! I've never played even in real life. I've only been watching Poker After Dark and reading books. Now that would have made a story if I had won! It was, however, quite rude of that individual not to support the final table members. They all did a great job to have made it so far. I hop

I agree 100% but would like to mention that you appeared at my table today supporting a player that is well known for being abusive beyond the point of niceness. Go figure!
