    Default Such class

    Wasn't sure about posting this at first, but I found out this player was 2nd in the high orbit leaderboard at Pokerstars and first last week in the $5 category.

    Anyways, I made 2 plays against this player and then they basically go off on me...2 separate tables. I checked out the plays in SNGWIZ and both are pushes according to that. This player was tight and was playing like 10 tables, so I think I made the right plays. You would think in playing so many hands they would come to grips on plays like this and just deal with the fact they aren't going to win every one of them Don't get me wrong, I get steamed sometimes when I lose hands like this, but I don't put it in the chat...just say gg and after a few minutes I'm over it.

    She probably just had a very bad run of cards and committed the cardinal sin of berating another player for their supposedly "bad" play.

    in ur accounts... confiscating ur funz
    If that bothers you, you probably have more compassion than I do.
    That happens to me all the time. If you make these pushes, you'll get called by better hands and you'll win like 40% of them.

    If someone goes off like that I usually compliment it by saying something like:

    lol I got u moneyz

    They appreciate it.

    It normally doesn't bother me, but coming from a player who is high on the leaderboard and has a spinning star on sharkscope, I just thought they showed no class. I may not be a great player, but I'm not that bad, lol. If I ever play that person again, I may be tempted to steal their blinds with deuce seven offsuit

    Usually if I knock out a player with a bad hand, I will just say "gg" or "that was lucky".

    he doesnt know ICM...lol. These are both totally standard unless he starts calling with stuff like K5o, Q8o etc

    I just don't get how a player with those stats cannot know ICM. By the looks of the bottom of the screenshot, they have only ever played the $5 games.

    When you say he doesn't know ICM, what are you using to draw that conclusion? Is it because he is yelling at Mike who is correctly pushing wide and doesn't seem to know that Mike SHOULD be pushing wide? Or are you saying he should fold his KQ?

    He doesnt know ICM because both of OP's shoves are incredibly +EV unless villian is calling extremely wide, but he still goes nuts and calls OP a moron. The villians call with KQ seems fine. To be honest I think a lot of people can have an ROI much higher than 18% at the $5.50 regulars (35% is probably sustainable imo)
