Example is : razz.
Let's say a player sits in plays first hand (2nd and 3rd)and has no clue as to what he's doing. Would you take advantage of that or would you try to explain him the game as quickly as possible? Sorry, I should have explained what I meant in my OP.

I'd wait for him to say something like "I had three queens, how come I lost?" to say something.

So this is online? And you don't know the guy and he's not slowing the game down?
I certainly wouldn't teach him strategy (like playing low cards) if that's what you are asking. |

I guess the player I was having this discussion with...was correct then when he said "I am not a GOOD poker player?"
I frowned upon him (and would frown upon all of you) if that's how you want to play your game. What's it take to explain him the game, and move on to play properly? I find it ruins the game play for everyone sitting at the table. It does NOT make the game run smoothly since all players are trying their best to take advantage of this guy, therefore I chose to give him a quick explanation so we can play the game as fairly as possible. I think it's a different story had it been 1 on 1, but since many players are trying to take advantage of this one guy...it truly messes up the game. |

Here's the chat:
BlackAdderIV: typical BlackAdderIV: betcha he had 237 BlackAdderIV: doesn't even know how he won the last hand Dealer: BlackAdderIV, it's your turn. You have 15 seconds to act BlackAdderIV: lol...oh what the hell why not BlackAdderIV: what a donk BlackAdderIV: learn the game hitmann Dealer: Bunnyki$$, it's your turn. You have 15 seconds to act Osario: be cool BlackAdderIV: go back to play money ya donk Bunnyki$$: hitmann it's low cards win BlackAdderIV: he no speaky English Bunnyki$$: the game is whoever has low cards wins BlackAdderIV: best hand is 22224 Bunnyki$$: les cartes plus bas gagne hitmann Bunnyki$$: would have been nicer of you to have explained the game instead of laughing at him, don't you think? BlackAdderIV: hell no BlackAdderIV: serves him right for signing up for a tourney he does not know how to play BlackAdderIV: besides...ps pays donks all the time Bunnyki$$: there was 2 tournaments one after each other last night, thinking I signed up to Stud ...I ended up in this one instead Bunnyki$$: I played the first 3 hands as if I was playing Stud then realized on my own I was in Razz, wish someone would have said something to me last night Dealer: Osario, it's your turn. You have 15 seconds to act BlackAdderIV: this is a good game...except when there is a donk at the table Bunnyki$$: but guess there's no being nice in poker, eh? BlackAdderIV: what do you want to do, restart? Bunnyki$$: no BlackAdderIV: give him back chips? Bunnyki$$: no BlackAdderIV: well then, what? Bunnyki$$: simply saying it would have been NICE for you to explain him the game instead of calling him names and trying to mess up the game by raising with silly hands BlackAdderIV: rules are posted, in all languages Dealer: BlackAdderIV, it's your turn. You have 15 seconds to act BlackAdderIV: I do not work for ps, why should I kelp? Bunnyki$$: once explained ...if he still chooses to not play it that way then you have played fair and you can laugh at him all you want. least it won't slow up the game BlackAdderIV: I am here to take his money, why give away my advantage? Bunnyki$$: it's called being nice, you should try it sometime Bunnyki$$: and you not the only one trying to take advantage of him, so are the other 6 players Dealer: BlackAdderIV, it's your turn. You have 15 seconds to act BlackAdderIV: you are not a poker player bunny...try social work, may be more rewarding for you Bunnyki$$: why? because I'd rather play the game fairly? BlackAdderIV: no, because a real poker player uses every advantage, including situations like this BlackAdderIV: let him figure it out, learn from his mistake...he's lucky it's just $3 ps: is he right about this?

My take
BlackAdderIV deserves a KITN for tapping the glass. No need to explain the rules, but no need to insult the donator. You don't specify the limits, but given that it was only $3, it might well be that the guy was simply experimenting with a new game, and learning as he goes.

I've said this many times before, but here goes again. Compassion may well have a place in our lives, but the poker table is not one of them.
