DJ Cautious On Stars: The Worst Player In The World

In reference to the above title this is a statement which I read time and time again on different forums and poker websites. I want to first and foremost say i think the word that player is a "Fish" is a Derogatory word to call anyone. Yet this is the common word people use it all the time on forums etc. I have seen players online abuse players calling them fish etc and also live calling people fish but mainly behind their back. Its like saying you motherf**** to someone you dont know... you are very likey to get a punch in the face so why do a lot of poker players not show the same level of respect to people they would overwise show respect to in normal life??? Its better to call someone a beginner, or causal player or action or simply a bad player to saying "oh you know you are a fish aka motherf*****".

I have been called many words online.. fish, dochue bag, you f*** bastard etc when I sucked out or won a lucky pot etc by players who claim to be the best. I think it shows a big lack of maturity if when you lose a pot you are attacking the player who won it from you. MAN UP!! Take it like a man (or woman). Has respect in yourself and intergrety in your behaviour and people will play with you all the time...

In answer to the title, all the so called fish have gone back to play live with people who respect them and where they can enjoy and play the way they want to play without having someone on cyberspace abuse them for no reason. I play in games where I make an effort to engage with people and make sure they are at least having a good time beacuse at the end of the day as a professional poker (which I dont claim to be) these players should be your most valued customers. They are paying your bills so you should make an effort to make them want to play with you and not have them walk to a casnio look at you (douchbag number 1 with your sunglasses and not even a word hello who goes nuts at players when you lose a pot while playing 1/1) and decide not to sit down. (Im not having a go a sunglass or 1/1 players before I get killed in the forums lol but just make a point!!!). You should treat bad or causal players who donate the same way Belligio would treat a rich gambler in town for a big boxing fight!!!

Now I know i am going off on one but its just something I observe and sorry to say I think us young guys are worse at it than the older guys. In the games I play with a lot of older guys in london these guys are so respect to the other players. Years and years of experience has taught them it makes no sense to berate the bad players and call them all sorts of names because it will scare players away. I discus will all the action players about online and everyone has dabbled online but none of them any more beacuse first of all they lose and then get called names for good measure...

Now I know I am probably boring you now as I have been rambling on but lastly I want to give an example of how live players treat their customers. I had been playing 5/10 in Boragta in AC for 30 hours. I was a real action player and had had swings of up or down 10k. The players loved it and it was a fun game. When I suggested I was going to quit because I was too tired and wanted to head back to New York as I was too tired a few of the older players offered to let me use their loyaty points to get a room there so I could come back in a few hours and continue playing... As I mentioned above - Looking after your customers!!!!
