I Used To Be Nice..........
By emilysmomJan 18, 09 08:54 AM
Lately I have been thinking how much things have changed here at SC. You know, I can honestly say that I used to be really nice to everyone and hardly ever tilt. But lately the temperant of many people on the felt has been downright rude. My fear is that I actually somewhat stoop to their level. It has been hard not to call out the donks that play ATC's and sometimes it gets the better of me. Even worse, when you play your game right and get called a donk because the other player doesn't know their pot odds. I guess sometimes when you lose you don't always think about those things or if maybe just maybe you are wrong and didn't try to think the hand through. I am guilty of that too. I guess we all do it. My point is that there really is no reason to be this way. I used to think that "it's poker" was the ultimate donk statement and no reason to call with 72 os. But all in all I guess that is why we play and some of us are braver and take more chances. On the internet some people believe that it's either get ahead fast or get out. I can actually see some insight to this theory. And it does work for some, because I look at their stats and they are good, so they must be doing something right. Last night for instance my AA was cracked by 56 os to a HUGE preflop raise followed by an all in after the flop (in which other player only had a straight draw). I don't mention names because I refuse to stoop to that level. There were no pot odds even to call the preflop raise, it was only two of us in. But I suppose that AA cannot always win, I know that. (but I would much rather lose to a little better hand). BUT my point is I am making a late New Year's resolution. That is to be nice to everyone again, no matter how much they donk because that is only their image on the felt. It's easy to forget, especially online, that these are real people and they have a personality and feelings. They could be one of the nicest people you ever meet, so who cares how they play their poker game. It is after all, just that....a game.
