    Default The human mind?

    Someone answer this question for me please.

    Why do people comment on others people game play AT the table? I see it online too.

    You know what i am talking about. At the showdown someone says, "You called 60 dollars on that turn?", after the horrible player shows his cars. Even sometimes when the horrible player loses the pot someone might comment. Or a person will raise and someone will comment, "I fold he
    hasn't played a hand in an hour." Then the tight person realizes his game
    plan is pretty obvious.

    It drives me nuts! I am going to start waiting in the parking lot for some people. Why would you try to help the same person you are trying to take money from?
    No brains.

    Why do the majority of people do this? Its pretty common knowledge to not help any oppenent you are in competion with.

    It bugs me online when people berate the fish. I usually end up sticking up for the fish which is quite funny.

    "he thought you were bluffing ok?"
    "I'd do the same thing, 2 outs is more than nothing"
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    Of course you do David, it's a natural reaction to stick up for oneself


    I don't mind so much when people berate people's play, because I'm guilty of this sometimes, but when people make general comments like about how tight/loose someone is playing, that pisses me off.

    I don't mind if people do that. In large-field tournaments it's really ugly to play 5 hours solid poker and then a random fish (e.g. me) takes all your chips with KJ offsuit
