Friendly FUCKING Poker

I play Poker on Facebook quite a bit. I don't expect to do this forever, but for now at least, I do it. Think of it as no worse a waste of time than Call of Duty, Halo, Guitar Hero etc. I doubt the behavior i'm about to describe is specific to Facebook, and i'm tired of writing that word anyway, so just assume we're talking about any fake monkey.. ur money game with a mix of people who have some idea and people who have none.

Now, this has a huge serving of sour grapes piled alongside a point, but what is this bullshit ubiquitous obsession these friendly fake monkey poker players have of congratulating the most ridiculous luck as "nice hand"?

You call my last ditch push with AQ suited with K5 off suit and about half of your stack. I score no ace or queen; you score the king on the river. You did not play a nice hand! It's spoken to you as if I was bluffing and you called me - beat the bluffer - it's just not accurate! The odds were very much in my favour. This was a lucky hand for you, not a well played hand, not a nice hand.

I lost fair and square. Naturally the best hand preflop won't always be the best hand after the river. Take my chips, be happy, feel lucky but do NOT discuss the hand with the "nice hand" idiot telling them "i was a little nervous" as if you made a sensible well thought out call. If you claim to be calling a bluff, you failed - it wasn't a bluff. You just happened to win anyway. Fuck you.

I really hope I never succumb to losing real money to this game.
