Last night i was playing Sit % Go Hero on Party Poker and in my last game one of the forum reg. was in this one.
Here come one hand i have 8 8 and i decided to go all in and he called with A 6 and the board gave him 6 6 and i lost the hand. I was laughing because i had lost a few last hand with bad luck. When i look at the chat and see I am sorry.
Then my laugh turned to be a very bad feeling. I was trying to take is chips i lost and he is sorry.
If any forum reg. take me out please never tell me that you are sorry because it is not true it is just laughing at me.

I am sure that was true cause we know each other Maybe he just had good feeling and want to win so he play. When we lost like that of course we feel worst, like me just now, my KK, AA, A10 hit two pair but lost . Really got worst feeling
If any mobster puts a beat on me, feel free to say "Sorry", "In your face", "... and stay down @!#$%@". These all translate to me as "while I enjoyed taking all your chips, I would have preferred to take them from someone else, or in a manner that was more deserving of the outcome".
"If any forum reg. take me out please never tell me that you are sorry because it is not true it is just laughing at me." -this is a really insecure way of thinking, people laughing at you???? life must be really painful if you think like this.
People say sorry because they know they played a bad hand and feel guilty. I say sometimes sorry wen I play a donk hand. Just because I really am, for playing that s**t and win.
There are actually people who feel guilty and sorry, not like the rest of the world, who is greedy, heartless and selfish.

Even when you are at a heads-up game table or there are just two of you (or in some cases, you and your acquaintances only) left in a MTT/STT table it would not be advisable to do anything that could be considered as the slightest indication of soft play, collusion, mutual benefit, etc., even implicitly, I guess.

If you are playing poker to lose then you will be sorry of winning.
But IMO you play poker to win and take the chips of the others so how can you be sorry of winning even if you played a crap hand you win you are happy.
I am not insecure when i say that you can't be sorry of winning if you do then you better stop playing poker.

This is an interesting situation. Had it not been a forum regular then I would agree wholeheartedly with the "don't say sorry" routine, however, I believe that, and I guess the relevant forum regular will confirm or negate this, the forum regular was only saying sorry because they know you and recognise you also as a forum regular. I also believe this has nothing to do with the way the cards went, but merely a friendly and associated lay way of acknowledging that they beat you. I think you should take this as a kind gesture and not the usual sorry bullsh1t.
I will never say I'm sorry for destroying someone at poker, suckout or not. I lost to bad plays too many times to be sorry about it lol. For me, being lucky is the most important thing in poker. Sure having skills helps but skills are nothing without a bit of luck on your side. Poker IS a game of luck, no matter how much you try to reduce variance. Win every hand where your life is on the line and you'll end up winning no matter how bad you are

Never said sorry in poker so far and i will never do. Cause i agree with some comments above. When i am playing to win, i just want to win. And i want to do this with every card, (no matter how bad my hand is), and every move i do
If its a friendly game and i mean friendly (friends relatives etc) then i might
But i can accept the fact, that some people can win a hand, but not being so glad for it, according to their play and their cards. Thus the sorry

... < If there is any sympathy I have for another player,...and they've played a 'powerfull' or good hand well and lost,....I generally just say something like... "Ouchies"...

Demo..... While in no way would I ever claim to know you, other than from what we get from you here at BRM, I have to say that the word 'ouchies' is not a word that I would have connected to you. That's not a bad thing, but it now allows me to consider you In a different light. I often say 'ouch' but think I will convert now to 'ouchies'.

Take it easy dude, so he/she sucked out on you, at least a good player would know this and spot the situation, and realize that he got a small miracle against you, and therefor apologizes... Lets say it was a donk, that sucks out on you, the shyte for brain has no faking clue how lucky he was to win that hand, therefor he/she says nothing... You catch my drift here, what i am trying to say? U r pissed at that point after the suckout i understand that, but if u get an apology like the guy gave you, u should not take it so close to heart, it just happens, theres nothing any1 can faking do about it, and some people do actually mean it

Ok it was me guys who put the bad beat on Mr. Pinotte.
It was a 4 handed sit & go and I had A 6 and decided to jam. I caught a third 6 and I won. And I'm not at all sorry. I won straight up.
I only said it casue I know it was a bad beat so If hurts i'll just start rubbing it in instead. Just kidding of course.
Maybe he just had good feeling and want to win so he play. When we lost like that of course we feel worst, like me just now, my KK, AA, A10 hit two pair but lost 
. Really got worst feeling
