Socrates 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Just had to get this out. Watched the first five minutes and Cantu runs his face as bad as Molina. What's with this attitude nowadays? Seriously, he's a good player, but damn. At least Lee told him to shut up right off the bat.Another great example of what is wrong with poker today. Link to post Share on other sites

HubDub04 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Honestly, i'm a 20 something, and I can be a total prick at the table. But not unwarrented. I'm a pleasure to play with when people dont make terrible plays and gloat about it or have no etiquette. I hate it when you get these guys in there that think they're really good and make terrible calls and moves and then when they suck out they gloat and say **** like " i knew exactly what I was doin". When that **** goes down I tell them how great of a player they are and goad them back. Sometimes, IMO, you can't just let everything go. Link to post Share on other sites

El Guapo 8 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Yeah, Damn 20 somethings!!I can say this because I turned 30 a couple months ago Link to post Share on other sites
Socrates 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 I should clarify that not all 20 somethings are like this. It's just amazing that I can watch an episode, almost any of them, and within 5 to 10 minutes see some rookie in the WSOP running his face. Cantu like the others who do this beg the question - Would he have rather the guy pushed with a better hand? Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with the latest post, you are exactly what this thread is talking about - and if that is you in the picture, it only reinforces our point. Link to post Share on other sites

You COMPLETELY mis-understood what I was saying. I am a very nice guy, I have a lot friends and I have been told I am fun to be around. With that being said, if someone does something repeatedly in error and consciously does not correct bad etiquette or jerk off behavior in general, it upsets me. I would never come to the table and be a jerk about anything, I am usually quiet at the table but certain things need not go unnoticed. Link to post Share on other sites

Dirtydutch 8 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Pretty much everyone under 30 is a prick. I'm 20, I should know. We think we're pretty great, I don't really know why. Even I think I'm the best, and I'm awesome enough to know I shouldn't. Link to post Share on other sites

Canuckickstan 2 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Prick is the new Sex. Prick Sells. Look at Tony G. Who the fuck ever would have heard of this guy if he wasn't such a prick ? Link to post Share on other sites
DB10-2 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 i disagree. tony g plays pretty good and happens to be a prick.cantu's just an idiot. any poker player worth a damn has run up against a guy who wants to flip coins in a dumb spot. the difference between great players and just players is that the ones who recognize a dumb play just move on, win or lose, regardless of the stakes. admittedly, i marvel at a guy who wants to shove his chips in with Q10 over and over at the WSOP of all places, but the stakes still don't justify that behavior.
