What’s in a name? How about anger, malice, and the desire to put your opponent on tilt? Most of the time it starts out nice enough, but eventually it gets heated. About the time someone rivers their one-outer to crush a well-played hand that was a huge favorite, the trash talk kicks off big-style.
It must take real talent to type in a string of profanities with symbols or spaces in lieu of letters to make it through the chat filter. Amazingly enough, some folks have this ability and can make chat-speak references to sodomy, fellatio, and an opponent’s family in a matter of seconds. It’s crude, rude, goes against site rules, but it never ceases to amaze.
Case in point; I recently watched two guys go back and forth in the usual profanely moronic fashion after a massive suck-out. As I was following this and chuckling, Guy #1 tells Guy #2 that he’s probably a “total Republican.” Guy #2 fires back that he is indeed – and proud of it – and tells Guy #1 that he’s a “typical Clinton supporter.” Not only do these two idiots launch into a political argument, but a couple of other players get in on the action. Wake up: you’re playing a $2 Sit & Go! They were just that pathetic.
Both got knocked out shortly thereafter, but continued to slobber on at each other as observers for a couple of minutes. As the freakish entertainment value had worn off by then – kind of like the 13th page of a Brandi thread – I quit paying attention.
While we’re talking about name calling, that one site is still flogging Shawn Sheikhan. According to the latest headline dubbing him The Poker Perv, his saga continues. Only it’s not really a saga and no other site has paid much attention to him lately. Seriously, what’s the deal here? Is there bad blood between the author and Sheiky? Are they just keeping us informed? I suspect the former, although I wouldn’t hazard a guess as to what that might be over.
I’ve also hypothesized that this whole Poker Perv ploy might be a cleverly crafted Ass Hat SEO campaign designed to drive people searching terms like pervert, molester, rapist, sex crime and deported to their site. Hey man, it’s a weird world – who can tell?
In any case, avoid the urge get into this type of banter. Feeding into some malcontent joker’s e-drivel is a total drag and makes you look like a jackass. Play poker and have a good time of it.
Have a great weekend,
