Arseholes

Arseholes ---- There's a lot of them about in poker. My favourite type is the hard core low stakes grinder who is stuck playing 50000 hands a month at 50c/$1 NL in order to get enough rakeback to pay his rent. At first it's fun but before long he's become bitter, twisted and abusive as it slowly dawns on him that he's playing poker because he has to and not because he enjoys it.

Don't become a player like this!!

MrOrangeo is a crypto player who falls into this catagory i think. Usually abusive and frequently unpleasent I have to smile every time i sit at a table with him or someone like him. If I had more of a kind heart myself I may feel compelled to give him a hug. Deep down I think he just needs to be loved.

Last week a load of abuse came from him over hand when he bet a few quid into a £12 pot on the turn with a set and allowed me to hit my straight draw on the end. It ended up costing him a chunk and 30mins later we'd still not heard the end of it. All the table was laughing away and pulling his chain as he went into tilt mode.

He then asked me to post a hand where I played AQ very passively out of position in a 3 way Q high flop. Actually he said something along the lines of "LOL post that on ur blog u fat fuck", but never mind.

The flop had two spades and the action had been fairly lively .. i checked looking to check raise and the two others also checked. The turn brought a 3rd spade, it went check check check again. river a 4th spade and check check check saw 2s2h in middle position pick up a £12 pot. Not my finest hand ever I'll admit but my bad play cost me £4. MrOrangeos bad play cost him significantly more.

With that in mind. MrOrangeo...here's one for you...
