Its becoming really noticeable ( sure im not alone ) (or am i )
Folk that buy their poker position whilst loosing most games YET dish out ridicule and what they believe to be a professional insight during games to those they deem inferior by poker position
The same people on loosing have to then explain why they lost and how bad the hand was that won, often choosing to be obnoxious in the process to other players
I find the above absolutely hilarious and my post is purely to see if others see things in a similar way which is increasing
I play for a bit of fun, but at the same time like most have a competitive streak but not to the point that where i cant loose, laugh and join another game in the blink of an eye
What do you think?
Do you think for some this may be as addictive as general gambling as they spend money on retaining a position ?
Your post titled ā Big Egos ā speaks volumes. Youāre assuming top ranked players buy chips and then complain when they lose and try and tell you what you did wrong. Perhaps you should take some advice or not go on tilt over it.
A year ago I would have said that I doubt many people buy chips just to get rank, but now I have seen 1 or 2 people do just that. Chip purchases keep the site healthy, and I donāt care where the chips come from or how they affect my rank.
But there are other reasons people buy chips. For example, someone could make some friends, then buy chips to keep playing with these friends as they move up in stakes.
As far as people giving advice, meh. If itās good advice, I might take it, if not, then not. Usually though, they donāt seem to understand that we are playing totally different styles. OK, you wouldnāt do that, but obviously, I would. Now what?
I donāt mind talking poker at a poker table.
Bad beats are frustrating, and lashing out is common at all levels of poker. (Think Phil Hellmuth) You donāt have to tell me I got lucky, I was in the hand, and if someone gets bent out of shape by me getting lucky, Iāll probably claim it was pure skill and see what they think about that.
There is only one person here making āassumptionsā.
At no point does my post contain the words ātop rankedā thats YOUR assumption and sadly that has put you āon tiltā and blinded your replyās
There are a huge amount of top ranked players on here i have respect for but not all. Why should that be expected when you can buy position which is their prerogative and i have no issue with buying chips.
What is amusing as per original post is when the people described dish out what they perceive as Pro advice due to an inflated EGO from a ranked position that was paid forā¦
You have made the assumption all top ranked players were encompassed and got a bee in your bonnet - some are reasonably low ranking and some are under the thousand mark.
Loose, laugh and join another game in the blink of an eye is hardly a statement of a person āon tiltā
You have been officially removed from an assumption i havent made so please
You would have never made it in the British Forces where honesty and integrity are key
Please demonstrate where that was stated by me in the first post which you got your panties in a twist over and the following posts ensued.
Its been explained to death yet your incapable of reading the post in context choosing a one liner from my last post in an attempt to justify your previous replies to my original post.
This is an āangleā used by a few players to put the other player on tilt in cash games and I think it is used for that purpose in play money games, just ignore and play YOUR game!
Craig, Iāve re-read the thread 4 or five times and couldnāt find where TerryW said āranked players have inflated egosā. Iāll admit, Iāve had 4 or 5 drinks tonight, and might be missing something obviousā¦
āYou have made the assumption all top ranked players were encompassed and got a bee in your bonnet - some are reasonably low ranking and some are under the thousand mark.ā
What bit about the above is so hard to acknowledge or needs ant type of interpreting
Here here. Itās funny how many people seem to forget that the site needs some way of staying in business. Iām also generally puzzled why people donāt want weaker players to have as many chips as possible (unless winning chips is not very high on their agenda).
My Wife and I play often and when Replay offers a āSpecialā on chips one or the other might purchase a small+ chip package to show appreciation for the site. Also seems We usually spend those chips fastā¦ lol Good cards n fun 2 e1ā¦
I also have bought chips when I receive a special, however I do so as above to support this site. BUT, I hate loosing chips lol. What gets me is, how the hell do people get up to 100ās of millions in chips!!! Look forward to a game or 10 every night.
Having had hundreds of millions of chips before, I can say itās not as crazy as it seems. Iām a mediocre player and Iāve been able to go from 0 to 100m+ a few times. You just move up progressively in the stakes as you win. There are 9 players with 10+ billion, so 100m isnāt that impressive.
