    Lately I've seen some very talented players most of them newer to success online going off in chat boxes and displaying other poor qualitys. My thoughts along with others is that if youre a successful player or a "Pro poker player" there's more than just being skilled in the actual game play that will help you to accomplish this. Other main factors including Money Management and how you conduct yourself. Not only does poor conduct hurt your image it might turn away newer players or fish from playing. It also opens up bad players minds to new ideas and ways when a good player is openly exploiting the bad plays/players. If youre a serious play act like one.

    I rant all the fucking time at the tables, its no secret. Everyone fucking knows it. Most people that actually know me however know its just my steaming temper and not my rational thinking.

    I've told people Its not something i'm proud of about 328940032984380924 times on p5s, I've apologized for it 28390482309480934 times, and I'm not sure what else there is to say.

    It just seriously sends me into a heated rage when I get beat by terrible players. Its something that I handle a lot worse than most and I understand this and almost anyone that knows who I am understands. Its cost me tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity through tilting at the tables, and trust me I wish it could stop.

    I just don't understand why it gets brought up here so often. Sorry I hurt your feelings. I have nothing personal against you, against any other players I berate or bitch at at the tables, or anyone in the world really. I honestly like just about everyone.

    Everyone minus me, right SC???

    FWIW: I dont hold anything against anyone that cant control themself at the table... If you met me in person, you'd never suspect that I'd be capable of talking the way I do when I take a bad beat because of an idiotic play... I do it live as well, just not quite to the same extent. It's just hard for me to control myself, and I always feel bad for it afterwards. I've even gone back and found the person to tell them i'm just having a rough day and i apologize...

    sc i dont understand how u can even cry tho man, like maybe way back, id have to assume you are a millionaire or close to it now days (forgive me if im wrong) but how in the hell can u get mad playing mainly 100-200 dollar tourneys......i mean most people with ur roll all playing huge games, and not even crying when they lose aboiut 6 figures in 1 session. (maybe its just the competition and u just want to win) but i certainly hope ur not steaming because of the money
