I think its funny how some people can go totally bezerk when they play poker. I dont even understand the reason why they would go haywire over something that small like losing 20usd or whatever . Have you ever seen those players at tourney/cash games/ sitNgo who get knocked out by some donk and then they just cant stop spamming the chatbox with various profanity and they just can't stop , they go on and on and..... I would love sometimes if you could see people on a webcam while you played poker with them. I could imagine them looking a bit like that angry german kid playing pc. http://www.spikedhumor.com/articles/44962/Angry_German_...
Damn it could be funny to see the sore losers on cam LOL
ps. hey guys dont forget to use the thumbs up or down when you read an article, and by saying that I am of course completely unbiased regarding to this post

Thats the downside of internet poker, some people tend to let go and scream, hit the keyboard, show emotions, making of this a bad habit so when they go and play live poker it could count against them.

Posted by xxxitaliaxxx13: yea the webcam idea is a pretty good idea lol i think your on to something there!!!
Yeah it would be awesome, you could have characters sitting around the table but instead of having heads they little "monitors" where the users face is displayed via webcam lol....... Damn that could be hilarious

yeah it is a lot of traffic and maybe it wont be popular because then all of a sudden you would be exposed on your "tells" Maybe a voice chat option while you play that wouldn't be to bad either, you could probably really piss some people off maybe even make them tilt and take advantage of it lol

Funny thing, you see? In internet we complain of lag, but in real life the "lag" is fundamental for betting and bluffing strategies! What a concept huh?

I've had a few players lose their rag with me. Best example being beating some guy on a SNG. I was playing a bit loose but only losing peanuts on these bad hands bt making a killing on good or premium hands. He starting off midway through when I raised his bet by saying see you can bluff me when I had trip aces, I ddin't let on on that one. Then said he could see me coming a mile off. Even giving me my pot odds when I beat him on the river saying I should of called his bet on the turn. He was wrong he only gave me odds of getting that card there were others that could have saved me. When I finally beat him, he informed me I had been lucky and didn't know howe to play poker you would have thought I had just won his rent money off him he only lost a dollar. Tyyhough I like playing these people they go on tilt easy & you can beat them

it's fun indeed but if they really can't play they can cost you a lot to. lost my entire partypoker bankroll today because of people thinking they know what theire doing, flopped two pair raised 2/3 pot on flop turn and river and he was calling me with an inside straigt draw. next sng went all in on rainbow jack high flop an got called by k3c made runner runner. and a few more like that. verry happy i didn't have a webcam if someone posted me on youtube there i would have been famous in a way i don't wanna be

@ Mas
That kid is possessed, O my god Ive never seen someone act that way over a video game. Wow he needs help.
And I can admit there are times where I can go berserk from a bad beat and maybe yell at the monitor then throw rocks into the lake behind my house. I dont harrass ppl tho. I might say "GH" "Nice Call" "Congrads" but I might have the complaint like " This has been happening all day "

Hummm, I´ve had my share of complaints online. I would become a monster and want to assassinate everyone on the table with sharp words of anger. Those days are behind me now. A good way to go through such a transition is to turn off the chat. You can´t write anything, you can´t see anything, so it´s all about the cards. This helped me alot. For example... If I thought that the person had his chat turned off, what good is it ifhe can´t see my insult. From that principle I started not caring anymore about it.
Nowadays, the best way of coping with these moments of madness, is to calm down and take the opponents stack!

the vid is pretty damn old but during poker i saw many guys like this on real tables , most of them was gamblers who was just in casino and tho poker is just the same fortune game as roulette or so ...

When playing live you really should control your feelings. Especially in casinos, where you have the usual pro´s who make a living taking tourists money. They can read you like an open book, so one should always try to be calm and not show too much, if possible, nothing at all.
