Message: [QUOTE="PoKeRFoRNiA, post: 6773922, member: 51710"] I played for 10 minutes. This was over 10 years ago where I recalled my very first cash game session. When I sat down, this was my third hand. But first two hands, table was deep stacked, everyone had more than 100bb and it was splashy. Two hands before, pots were roughly $150 and then someone goes all in and others fold. Its why i put random vpip and pfr as 35. I played this hand, got berated and called a fish and shamed for winning. I didnt feel comfortable playing anymore and I left. And then not only so they just criticized me, they call me a "ratholer" for leaving after making me feel uncomfortable to play. I discussed this to my friends. One of my friends told me that I'm a fish for not staying at the table and taking advantage of those two players. But when it's your first time playing live cash game and you are berated for making one suckout, its intimidating and uncomfortable. Then later, I learned to deal with them. Its why I adviced my friend who will be playing for the first time live cash game "Play your game. If anyone berates you, just laugh it out, troll them, and say 'I be feeling lucky. Thats why i play like this, brotha.' Do NOT berate the player who wins ur chips by getting lucky. You will make that person feel uncomfortable and leave. Then you cant win your money back. I am that example of that fish." When I hear advice from pros or experienced players "Do not berate the fish and make him feel uncomfortable. You are doing them a favor by making them realize their mistakes and they learn to improve while discussing the hand to their friends." I laugh at myself for being that fish who decides to discuss this hand and seek to learn my mistakes. Looking back, I didnt play too terribly after all. But I do have to say, compared myself now to over 10 years ago, I got too aggressive with my semibluffs compared to when I started. I need to learn to control my wreckless semibluff aggression.
