FWIW, your arguement wasn't really relevant to me because I haven't deposited a penny on the site for like 3+ years as I haven't needed to. It's unlikely I'll ever need to deposit here ever again, so win or lose you can be sure that any 'free money' I receive will be going on non-poker related stuff
Have you stopped to consider that Joe might actually like his job?
Or that Bill was heartbroken at getting made redundant and is emotionally drained at having nothing to do when he gets up each day. Not to mention the embarrassment that he can no longer provide for his family.

Now it's getting ridiculous, are you drunk? Anyway if bill cannot provide for his family then he has not got money for poker so that's the end of that.
An what's liking your job got to do with? I love my job, my wife really enjoys her job. We still don't enjoy losing money.
You're main insinuation was that people on benefits are freerolling and therefore don't mind as much when they lose. Just stop and have a think about it. Then issue your apology.

No they are yours you said you think bill loves his freebie lifestyle. Your persistant failed attempts to misquote are only serving to devalue any meaningful comment you are trying to make here. Now grow up.
Just seen your third thread. Wow! You're on a roll. You enter a tournament and Sky won't give you your money back. Dreadful people! Given your claims in the other thread, I would have assumed as it was a higher stakes game that you would have just won it at a canter. Don't really know what you were making a fuss about.

Sky arent dreadful, why would you say that? If you dont like it here go else where.
In Response to Re: Top Poker Tip. : Simple My point, is that your threads are pointless. That is dull but ok. There are plenty of them. The bit I don't like are the comments you directed initially at Paul and them continued with in further posts. Your ignorance is astonishing. Posted by Jac35
Ok, now move on I'm sure you have more important things to worry about. An Paul is big an ugly enough to reply for himself and he has. He has made good constructive points, unlike you.
Your not going to make it seem as if I'm anti benefits, or personally attacking anyone. Because quite simply I'm not. Now your persistent harassment of every post I make..... Well that's another matter.

I like this. You decide to take the literal translation of my post, then accuse me of misquoting you!! Nice one.
just thought I'd come on to the forum before heading to bed to see if there was anything interesting about and found this thread. WOW!!!
This thread is quickly getting out of hand.
OHIMGOOD from your other post it looks like you havent had too good of a day regarding your poker and maybe that's the reason for this thread but some of your posts here are totally out of order.
I think you should leave it now, come back in the morning and apologise. Continuing this is just going to wind everyone up.
wtf has being on the dole or working got to do with poker,it seems abit intrusive,its got nowt to do with anyone,leave it out,some people just like bashing people,grow up
In Response to Re: Top Poker Tip. : Oh it's plenty simple, that's what's wrong with it. I bet Bill is absolutely loving his freebie lifestyle! Posted by bbMike
Just LOL joe will have to wait 2 weeks while jack can blow £80 again in 8 hours
1- If you lose and it affects ur mood (for more than 5 minutes) then your playing at too high a stake and you should either drop stakes or stop playing (tournaments can be an exception)
2- if you hear someone say wow you played for 3 hours and only won 3 quid? This person wont last the long haul because they view poker are purely a money making exercise. I would ask them how much money they won while watching tv for 3 hours? My point is playing poker is your leisure time so you should be having fun regardless of the result. Obviously your gonna be happier to win!
If you can't afford to lose it then it doesn't matter where it comes from
The money could come from anywhere, job, benefits, birthday/xmas present - whatever.
If that money should be spent on life's essentials then you should not have gambled with it. Therefore you will feel sad that you lost that money.
The only reason someone would be annoyed at losing that £80 if they should of bought food, payed a bill etc...

To tackle the question if people appreciate getting benefits, well I am sure everyone appriecates benefits cause without them they would be very hungry without them.
I would be amazed if anyone had £80 left over from benefits to spend on whatever, maybe .80p.
im going on the dole, all that free money to have wtf am I working for,op lives in cuckoo land either that or lives in out of touch world.Cant believe mods have let this continue so long.
I think anyone would be annoyed at losing £80, how much of an annoyance it would be will vary. But I definately think it will be annoying to all. If you're flippant about losing money then no matter what your financial situation you won't have much money for very long. Posted by OHIMGOOD
Quite the opposite. If you're a successful poker player/bettor then provided you keep making +EV decisions you will have more money in the future over the long run. The most successful will be able to remove all emotion from losing and remain objective to assess the decisions that came before the outcome. Being annoyed at losing increases the likelihood to chase losses or make sub-optimal decisions soon after.

And your response plus certain other ones will just fuel him.
He wanted a reaction and he got it, plenty of people biting.
