    Does anyone else feel that "sir" has become the poker equivalent to "chief", "boss", and other simular condecending terms. It's especially grating when used by people who you know have never used the term in any other facet of life.

    GG sir

    What's with all you old guys bitching about trivial shit said at the poker tables?

    I say sir more often in real life than I do in poker, but I never mean it in a condeceding way.

    I always like when ur playing live and u run into that one dude that is new to live play. And he throws out 400 when the blinds are 300/600 and the dealer says "The min bet is 600 sir"

    Sad to be old at 38, but just so you know you sound like a huge douche if you say "sir" all the time at the poker table.

    I don't say "sir" all the time at the poker table, and if I do, it's in the same respectful manner I would use in face to face interactions.

    And yes, I have noticed the majorty of people that bitch about menial shit like this are over 35ish, and in the online poker world, it's old. Not elderly, just old in comparison with the average.

    Maybe you are the one that is the douche by taking offense..............

    I have lately been calling everyone "guy". I like it because it assumes an air of familiarity that doesn't exist, thereby subtly showing my lack of respect for the individual and obvious feelings of superiority.
