I've been playing poker for some years now and the game to me has changed for the worst. It used to be a fun competition, now there's critics who feel they know everything, people telling other players how to play their cards, when to play their cards, and asking why they played the cards they played. What i've learned is if someone is set on playing a hand, they're going to play, that's it.
Then you have people complaining about the so called freerollers, yet they're in the same freeroll. There's some that get so irate when they lose a hand it's shameful. What happened to sportsmanship? There used to be a time when players tried to help each other, what happened? I understand some take the game more seriously than others, but i'm sure everyone else knows that too, so why all the spite?
I play because I like to play, and enjoy chatting with other players. I don't play for a living, I work. I play because most times it's fun, if I win I win, if I don't it's not the end of the world.
