You are the worst fucking poker player EVER!
I heard this comment at a crazy 1/2 1k max poker game on the weekend. These guys all knew each other well so nothing but a heated debate came of it but I could see this leading to a fight in other circumstances.
It was after a friend made a questionable but defensible play. Funny thing is, the person making the comment made a far worse play IMO.
I could see my friend was getting a bit upset with this so I quietly told him his play 'spoke for itself'. Which I guess you could interpret any way you like. I didn't say anything to the other player as I saw no benefit in giving him any free advice plus he's not the kind of guy to ever think he would be wrong. Kind of like trigs.
What other dumb stuff have you heard said at the table? If it is directed at you, what did you say? What if it is directed at one of your friends?
Discuss.

Player taking to TD after a tourney break was over at Caesar's LV
- But it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooted!
- I called the raise with 2-3 because I had a gut feeling.
- I'm the unluckiest player in the world! (says THOUSANDS of losing players)
- Do all you chipleaders want to donate to the bubble boy prize? :rolleyes:
- Who cares about the high rake? You get "free" drinks and food.
- Who cares about the 30% withholding tax? You always get it back LEGALLY. :bs:
- It's rigged! (says the losing player about online, Woodbine, or anywhere else he can't win)
After I win a big pot, I've gotten a lot of
- "You are the LUCKIEST f***ing poker player EVER!
- "You are such a Bingo player!"
- "How could you call that?!" (After a triple barrel bluff, then whines to all his friends in the poker room that I'm a fish for making the correct call.)
I avoid refuting their misreads as I want it to last as long as possible.
I try my utmost to ignore ALL comments about my play, even when it is a compliment from someone whose play I respect.
There is just no good result that can come from responding in any but the most non-definitive way possible. Sort of like answering a Cop.

wtf? did i upset you for calling you out for not being a benefit to the forum? sorry if that upset you but it has gotten you actually responding and commenting on poker content again here. we're all appreciative of that (even though you are still kind of a dick sometimes with comments like this, but i've had to deal with worse than you i guess).
EDIT: btw, you do realize that me calling you out for that is pretty much a compliment being that it's suggesting that i think you are good at poker and can help the rest of us if you cared enough to.
I believe the exact quote was 'I'm not discounting the possibility of Leprechauns'.

my bad. sarcasm doesn't translate well in type.
<== note sarcasm
But regarding the comment in the OP... totally unacceptable to tell a bad player that he's playing bad - and 10x worse if you're a dick about it. Aside from fun games with friends, all questionable plays go into the memory banks for future use, not a word to the table!
Never called a bet with it but I bet out with it when checked to me. Buddy flopped two pair and slow played it to the point of losing.... To this day he tells people I call bets with gut shots and always hit.... love it.
cuz...
I don't remember that!
