Admittedly, I should have gotten a lifetime ban long ago. I have such deep-seated senses of self-loathing and whoa-is-me entitlement that I have gone so far as to wish death on my opponents and their entire extended families. I have also threatened to release the Ebola virus on people. Sometimes when people make comments like, "That's what you get for pushing with AAxx... it never wins in Omaha," I launch into a Stewie-like (though not as clever) diatribe about how they'd better collect as much money as they can now because society has left them behind and I'll be back to spit on them when they're panhandling after blowing through their welfare checks.I think any one of these instances is grounds for a lifetime ban, but all I've ever gotten was a single warning saying that my comments might be construed negatively. I don't know how much more you can do to corrupt a friendly atmosphere than to wish death on people's families. When I lose in poker, it really throws into sharp relief how much growing up I have to do (or maybe that I'm just a bad person), and I don't think getting a lifetime ban is a source of pride. Pokerstars should really crack down harder on people like you and me.

You shouldn't play poker if you act like this - you won't be successful in the long run.

True story. I have won over time, but I'm not a winning player. I tend to piss away big chunks at a time when I go into jerk mode, and then it takes me long sessions to win it back plus change. This system usually leads to returns of about $100 over the course of about a week, which makes my "hourly rate" somewhere below what they pay in sweatshops.It's just a hobby, but I definitely take it way too personally... as though when someone decides to call off $140 with just a gutshot and actually hits, it was a spiteful act of God that actually compelled them to call and then hit, and not just the fact that they're just gambling and care a lot less than I do.

ripptyde, are you the same dude where at NWP they posted your addresses and phone numbers and pictures of you then hacked into your computer and signed you up for gay porn sites? I remember someone talking about this in another thread. I thought that was pretty crazy.

Considering your immature behavior on these forums I'm not surprised, pokerstars are doing their job.

[DonkSlayer 1]

If I didn't dislike this guy, I would put it on my sig.

Yeah I feel yah. I’m just saying that poker typically isn’t the game for people having a hard time keeping their emotions in check. There are great players that do have trouble doing this – their just all tourney players. You won’t see a bad *** cash game player blowing up all the time. Whenever anyone gets too emotional in the cash games, I suggest playing in some tournaments until you get your cool back.

You are spot-on. I am a terrible, TERRIBLE cash game player for exactly that reason. I do well in SNGs because I am able to take a 500 chip hit and realize that I can still come back and win the tourney. If I lose $500, all I can think about is how long it will take me playing at those stakes to win it back, and curse the person who, in making the play I wanted him to make, got lucky.I never play with money I can't afford to lose, so I wonder if it's more a cynical sense that the universe is crapping on me that makes me blow up, more so than the actual dollars and cents. Maybe I should pay you to be my therapist.I'm also curious if anyone else has insight into what makes them type inexcusable things in the chatbox like I do...

It's usually that brief moment between rational and emotional thought.You are typing during the emotional phase without pausing to consider the implications of your text.Rational thought text would simply be "nh" because you want them to make the same play again.

I like the fact that the OP berates the twenty something crowd, clearly implyinig that he is older, and thus more mature, and still finds a way to get his chat banned on stars for a LIFETIME. Nice work and in the famous words of Judge Smails: "top notch."

You're absolutely right. Opponents' bad calls are the optimal situation. But since I play poker intermittently, those bad beats hang over my head, because given my tight-aggressive style of play, the moments where I can get someone else to commit as many chips as I lose in one big hand are far and few between. It's probably a testament to an overly predictable style of play, but I've found that when my AA loses to KK for my entire stack, it takes me several sessions before I am in position from picking off smaller pots to win back that initial hit. Even when I'm on a run where bad beats hit at their relative expected frequency, those pots always tend to be larger than the pots I scoop afterward. I rarely play long enough to get the perpetrator or anyone else at the table to commit chips in a similar situation where I am such an overwhelming favorite.I think it's the net-effect -- playing several sessions to get to get back to ground zero, where the same several sessions, minus the bad beat, might have left me a tidy profit -- that compels me to wish Ebola on the world.Clearly, cash games are not for such a personally invested hobbyist.

tbh i find i highly amusing that the op had his chat permantly banned for calling somebody an idiot.What gets me, who would go to the trouble of reporting him " who the feck cares" what is said in an online poker game."ooh ooh mr support man x just called me nasty names for being lucky and he made me cry please tell him off . Have you got the number of a Psychotherapist i think i may have a post-traumatic stress disorder.you can call me whatever you like online but do it to my face and i may just get the urge to put you on your arse followed by a size 9 in the bollocks but hey thats me.

Play within your roll and you will never have this problem. Ever.

FU noobin fact fk all poker forum doosheswhat a waste of time post > get flamedyou could offer up the Magna Carta and you will still get flamedtoo many 20 something/teenage d0uchebagsan aspect of modern online poker I despise.I post a chat ban for calling someone an 'idiot' (yea real worthy of a lifetime chat ban)next thing you know you have the flame parade stepping up to play devils advocateget LIVES people

I JUST DON'T GET IT.... what did you expect? For us all to feel sorry for you? For being an *******? We all know guys like you at the tables and it is annoying as hell. Did you expect us all to be on your side and ***** about how bad Star's support is and that they are too hard on people? Learn to control your temper or perhaps poker is not well suited for you. Stars has great support and they are topnotch. I'd just like to see how many warnings you've received in the past. People must have had a reason to report you as well, because support only finds out if someone is pissed off enough to tell them about it.

not necessarilyI play within my roll but I am still pissed about losing, especially through a string of bad beats.mental attitude and tolerance has some part in this also.

Instinctively, I would agree, except that I have this problem whether I lose $500 at $3/6 PLO or whether I lose $20 at 0.10/0.25 NLHE. I think it's the concept of being down at all moreso than the actual amount. It's some sick, twisted mental block. When I buy in or $100, it physically pains me to leave with $99. So naturally, the further I'm down, the more distressing it is to me because I don't want to leave until I've at least climbed back to square one.If I lose a few hundred, I'm not worried about missing meals and not having a roof, I'm worried about not being able to sleep because I failed so miserably. Obviously, it's not healthy, but I think it's a kind of single-session-o-centric tunnel vision. It only applies to cash games, too. I could drop the same amount in a series of MTTs and not bat and eyelash. But if I get crushed in a cash game, I reach for the hemlock.Help me. Tell me to never play poker again and I'll listen.I swear.
