Poker Insanity

I always find that tournaments bring out players of different quality. I guess it's expected, yes? Would you care as much about a $1 tournament as you would a $100 tourney? The worst is of course, the free roll players. They have nothing to lose, as it was free to enter, and go all-in on any hand. These tournaments also bring out the mouthiest, rudest players around.

Here's an excerpt of a conversation I had last night with some mouthy player.
[kurtyo] f**k you
[penaltyman] do you really have to swear all the time? That's all I'm asking.
[kurtyo] suck my d**k fa**ot

Additionally, free rolls are generally not for those who play the game by pot odds or implied odds, but simply those with a 'nothing to lose' mentality. Sadly, I find that these donkeys are the ones getting the better hands and breaking pocket queens through aces on the river. They feel going all-in is a matter of skill with 2-6 os.

So far, I am out of the titan poker tournament I was in today. I flopped the heart flush with 9-5h, but donkey who went all in with Jh-6s beat my 9-high flush on the river. The player said 'thanks fish' and laughed as he lucked out against my better hand. No justice some days...no justice.
