Poker question, does it piss anyone else off when ..

somebody calls your all-in with a lower pocket pair, or just plain old crap and wins ... and then you have some dumbass on the table saying great hand??

I don't mind the dumbass call -- but the morons in the peanut gallery really get under my skin.

Anyone get po'd by this?

yeah, lots of people sprinkle their 'nh' and 'good 1s' too liberally. Players shouldn't be rewarded for crappy play. But then again, nothing wrong with reinforcing stupid play in other players for future meetings.

Did you make it to an advanced stage in a big tournament? I haven't really noticed the presence of a peanut gallery in any other situation.

Yes Lander....and they do it for 2 reasons they are NEW playing online OR they are CLUELESS what even an overpair means....many many fish online but they do make a splash once in awhile with lady luck

i love it when 2 guys go all-in in tourney play on about the 3rd hand and when the guy who loses in making his exit you see people type in GG .

Good Game ??? He just played 3 hands !!!!

I'll say nh and good call as well, trying to encourage the other idiots to keep firing away with inferior hands. I never bitch about it because I want people to call me with inferior hands and pay me and most times they will, so you got to just smile and say nh and great call once in awhile when it turns against you.

when i see players say NH when some moron makes an awful call i tend to think they are doing it to encourage the bad play. Not a bad a theory.

I never belittle bad play, especially in cash games where I can take my time and take their stack. It's really hard sometimes not to go off on some idiot that just sucked out a gut shot straight on you - but bite your tongue and let them hang themselves. Never teach the fish how to play.
