Stores Having Trouble Keeping Pokerparty Tables in Stock

September 02, 2005

I know that in the really big pokerparty games all of this may not be that much of an issue. Because there everybody knows how to play at least to a certain degree, and because most of the regulars have been around for quite some time, they are used to all different kinds of behavior, and therefore are not that easily offended anymore. Still, in my opinion proper behavior should start at the top.

So not only should I adjust my starting requirements and start folding more often, I should also try to improve my pokerparty play after the flop." If others perceive you as a serious person, as someone who is trying to analyze everything that's going on, then you might get players like this to think more about the game and you might have cost yourself a lot of money.

Even though I am known to play extremely tight, there are still some players who actually want to play with me: they know I won't embarrass them, they know I will try to create a pleasant and friendly atmosphere at the table, they know I don't whine, don't hit-and-run and they know I'm willing to build a big pot occasionally with a lot less than the nuts- I suggest you try the same.

Will he seriously think that in your opinion 84 offsuit is such a nice hand? Do you think that just because he plays pokerparty bad, he doesn't know that 84 is a piece of cheese, a trash hand, garbage, and that trying to outdraw pocket aces with them is plain suicide? So how do you think he will take it when you say "nice hand"? Will he think: "Oh, what a nice guy. He doesn't mind losing with aces because he noticed I had a nice hand as well" or will he think the guy with the aces is giving him the needle and is trying to ridicule his play in front of everybody?

1. Now I am sure that he's a great player (in fact, the results speak for themselves; it is a great accomplishment for someone to become this successful at pokerparty, especially when taking into account his age) and lots of people have told me that he is actually one of the nicest and friendliest guys around- now why doesn't he act like that when the cards are in the air?
2. Act positively, have fun. Make the poker game a pleasant experience for yourself and your fellow pokerparty players. Too many players I know (especially the "grinder" type of players) act like they don't enjoy themselves, as if someone forced them to come over to the casino and play. You should feel blessed that you are able to make money playing the game you love.
3. On my last visit to the U.S., I noticed that some of the better middle-limit players had started acting like this as well -figuring that it's in everybody's interest to play in a pleasant atmosphere- and that players in general seemed to behave a little bit better than they used to. Still, there are quite a few unfriendly or even obnoxious people around- and quite often, it's the more skilled players who behave like this.
4. Either way, the bad behavior of just a single player may have disrupted a potentially profitable situation for all pokerparty players, with the player doing the damage making a complete fool of himself. If this guy isn't able to beat some of the weakest players out of their money by simple waiting for them to give it to him, then who the hell is he going to beat?
