Ok, so I only have a few dollars (literally) on P*, I'm just messing around with it. I sit down at the 6 max .01/.02 tables. It's a total mixed bag, like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates, but mostly weaker players. There is always one dude that thinks he's a pro and laughs at everyone's play. YOu then remind them their stack wouldn't buy a a #9 meal at the MacDonalds drive-thru. One guy kept laughng at me when i would fold on the turn or river to his overbet, 9 out of 10 times I'm on a straight/flush draw and am priced out (even though it's only a few cents I'm not playing like a total donk). He then tells me he only had ace high, I tell him, oh good, you had me beat, he then says no you made a bad play by not reraising me out. Now, if I was at a table where I could easily pop another $20 on the table I'd play that game (well not totally, if I have something I'd play it, but not when all I could beat was an 8 high hand). Since it's no easy thing ot get money online now, I play supertight aggressive, I'll limp in with connectors and see a turn and river if it makes sense. I just can't stand the talk at these microtables, most folks are polite, I like the european folks. It's the mouthy jerks, just a brief rant, I didn;t feel bad when this latest guy thought he'd play the all-in game with everyone, he rebought twice before finally figuring out that his "pro" method was being cracked.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I've encountered that I don't know how many times on the smaller stakes games ($11 tables) at Full Tilt.
I always tell that person that if they truly were THAT good, they wouldn't be wasting their time at such a small buy-in table. Their "skills" are worth at least $100 buy-in. They usually get a little more quiet after that. Not much, but a little.

I never understood rating play when you are playing for nickels...literally. You are either there because you don't have the bankroll or the skills. If you don't have the skills, then STFU. And if you don't have the bankroll, you're not going to make it by telling everyone what they are doing wrong, so STFU.

I don't chat much online, just have stats or info loaded at P*... Let the donks yap.

BTW - nice sig...

LOL, I forgot I switched that. I saw that on a site and though tit was a riot...so I stole it. It was linked the "the best page int he universe",here's the link, it's a riot http://maddox.xmission.com/ . Check out the sony stuff and the 9/11 diatribe.

It's only a minor peeve, since I usually just laugh at them, I've got $4 on the table...do I really care that much, no. It's just something to do while I'm worki-...um at lunch, yeah at lunch.

Honestly, I think your best bet is to completely disable chat if you're playing the micro tables. The only thing that can happen is that someone at the table will irritate you.

For micro stakes, it's simply not worth leaving chat on hoping to pick up "information" being shared by the rest of the table.

Hate to break it to you, but those same mouthy jerks are at ALL the tables, regardless of stakes. At least, they're at my tables...

Yeah, I know. i used to play higher stakes online. It just seems extra funny that a guy at a .01/.02 table s giving anyone advice. I don't chat typically. Maybe a TY if someone gives me a NH. I'm usually watching TV or playing 2 or 3 tables so i don't have time to read the chat. I was just playing at work for a bit, there was nothing to distract me.

By the way, 99, I hope you know that I wasn't talking to you above when I said STFU... I was talking to the annoying Poker Pro...

Immediately after the tourny I sat down to a 1-2 game and I hit KJs.

Well I made a loose call and hit my K on the flop. Ended up getting it all-in when the turn brought an opened ended straight draw. I river a J and crack his AA.

This guy melts down and starts talking all types of trash to me, saying he wants to play me heads up 5/10. He's calling me names and goading me.

My response...

"Whats the point of it? Just take your beat like a man."

Well that set him off pretty bad, and he kept saying how he was going to get his money back from me. That's when I told him.

"I'm going to take your $50 and light it on fire." Then I logged off.

Mr. Pro couldn't keep his mouth shut long enough to get his money back. Right before I left he ran the big stack off and was whining about that. I feel like the kid in Sixth Sense.

...I see d-bags. They don't even know they're d-bags.

Disable chat??? Where's the fun in that?

You don't have to respond to those guys. Just laugh them off.
