    Ok i will admit my stats at Stars arent good. Im a UB player mostly but have recently ventured over to stars because of all the positive things i hear. I played in 05 where i played out of my league and because of it started off real bad and my stats show it.
    That being said what is it with all the attitude on Stars.(Oh yea im mostly a HU player) As soon as i sit at a table villan checks sharkscope and starts to talk smack. God forbid i raise with nothing and hit or suckout im the worlds greatest donkey. But if they do its because they are good and played it well. I am going to post a hand and see what im saying... wish i had the next hand where she/he goes off on my stats. Just says "lucky young man here". Grant it if you check their stats they are actually worse off than me. Its so funny how big people get behind a monitor or maybe i just draw that type of person.

    You outplayed him in this hand, fwiw. People who belittle opponents, ESPECIALLY ones with bad stats, aren't that great at life or poker.

    not to mention, "lucky young man" is cordial compared to the usual classless barrage of insults thrown around if you happen to suckout or get caught making a move.

    IMO paul wasicka said it best, "just because someone plays differently than you doesn't make them a donkey."

    not to mention, if they're fired up and ripping you in the room....i like to keep my mouth shut and watch them tilt.

    can see why the guy would be pissed.slow playing a monster like 23off and getting outdrawn by ak.have had loads of people berating me for getting lucky but i don't understand why stars should let random people access profit/loss amounts on you,surely that should be confidential?

    First off, why do you care? Do you play poker to win the admiration of other internet players (your opponents). If that is the reason you play, maybe you should look into other lines of work. You are far less likely to be berated if you do charity work, etc.

    Seal wrote an interesting article on how everyone thinks they are great at poker, driving, and sex. Think about those 3 activities. What do they have in common, tons of name calling. Sure, you aren't that big, well, her's is the size of the grand canyon, the slut, no one can fill it up. Driving, everyone hates cops, and people get pissy with the guy who hasn't had a ticket in 20 years. In poker, everyone is lucky but you.

    I'd say, who gives a rats ass. Let them talk, all you want is their money.

    I hate all of the data mining software. Shark scope shows bad players how much they lose (reason I don't play SNG much anymore). I wish the major poker sites could stop all of the software used in this fashion.

    Exactly.
    Your comeback = "Sharkscope is banned here and I will call moderator and have u banned." If he says something again u click on the dealer space, click call moderator, of course saying GG jerk as you do.
