Tilt!!!

[hime]

I had a guy try that once. He was telling me I was playing all wrong, etc etc. We play on pokerpages, so I checked my rankings and his... I was only maybe 1% behind him. I told him as much, he was all "no need to get defensive".

I ended up the month ahead of him, but I was content with my performance that month either way. And he certainly didn't tilt me - he busted out of that tourney way before I did. But maybe that's what he was trying to do, tilt me.

I'm not exactly a model, but it's not the usual stuff that tilts me. Criticizing my play isn't gonna get me to play the way you want to please you or because I'm pissed off. Maybe I'm too hard headed or too much of an individual.

Another tourney (RL) I was at a table with this guy who kept doing the Annie Duke/Phil Hellmuth TOC thing. People would fold and he would show one card. Every time I would immediately start saying "Oh my god! I'd better tilt! I'm freaking out!" Come on, quit being a douchebag and play some poker... I'm not falling for your crap. I play the hands worth playing. If I fold, I have a reason. After 2 or 3 times doing this, he finally explained to another player that he was doing that because of Annie/Phil. *eyeroll*

If there's one thing that does really annoy me though, it's the people who get to the showdown and then flip over one card. F that. Flip over both cards and announce your damn hand. Somebody paid to see it, show it and get out the way.
