I play cards in different venues and what irks me the most is when the same person or type of person loses and then proceeds to get very agitated because he feels that there was no way that they should have lost the tournament. His rationale is that "I play in more money tournies than anyone here and had more money in front of me than any of you". As if my $30 tournaments are jokes compared to his playing at Foxwoods 4 times a year. I play in $160 Bronx hush hush games all the time. I just dont feel the need to justify myself. It just makes it so much feun to knock them out. I like the player who is confident and realizes that this is a great but frustrating(at times) game and he is a very good sport (at all times). I have played with you HOP, you are poker gentlemen and play with distinguishingly proper etiquette. Just wanted to let you know what types of players are out there.

And I also can say that the Hammer was in full effect (HOP must have shown it at least 3 or 4 times). I was card dead (T-T, 5-5, and A-Jo each once and that was it). It was interesting that the underdog won about 80% of the all-ins throughout the tournament. I might try and go one night next week - although I'm not sure if I will be admitted on my own just yet.<br/><br/>-Lastman Chris I can corroborate the details of this post.
