CONTEST - What quality do you appreciate in other players?

Manners for sure

bring the FUN…SPEAK a ton…Git er dun…LOVE ur hon…aint the mon…don’t bring gun…
ENJOY the run…yer almost done…EVERY BODY WON…

I have to say I like warmth. Having fun whether the joke is on you or another. Being able to poke a little fun without offending too much. A little sympathy sometimes is well received. It’s best when we don’t take life so seriously…and free online poker should never be taken too seriously. If you find yourself at one of those nice warm tables, when people are joking a little bit, but nothing mean or obnoxious, then no matter where you place it was a fun and enjoyable experience from start to finish for everyone.
Help make it that way each time you play. Good Luck.

I’m inconsistent on what I would choose depending on the mood I’m in. I always want good manners but there are times when I’m feeling chatty and enjoy witty repartee and other times when I’m trying to concentrate on the game, so I don’t join in.

Mostly though, I like players who don’t lose their cool. Nothing brings down a table faster than a player who loses a big pot and their subsequent betting gets increasingly careless. I just up and leave when I see that. I admire the players who take a beating and their style doesn’t change a jot.

C

The choice is most difficult and I feel a need to go with 3 of the 4. A because I love to get to know my “fellow players” and develop a “friendship bond” with them. I feel that makes the game of poker a much better game. Also B because I really appreciate respect which incorporates good manners. And C because it is a wonderful challenge to play at a table where my opponent really tries to have the best game possible, using his skillful moves. I love the game of poker and Replay is doing an awesome job.

Meet nice peoples and see new strategie but still hate the turn and the river lol

Just enjoy the play with or without all of the above qualities. my friend says I’m aggressive which I am if I am getting good cards but then unhappy to lose holding full house to someone who bingos. just play what you have and hope for best.

Meet new peoples and learn new strategie but still hate the turn and the river lol

B and C I come here to have FUN and to test out my poker skills, I really appreciate the fact that most of the people here are about the same and that most do welcome proper etiquette, when you put these two things together it make the game a little more interesting and more of a challenge. Good luck all

b and c

I choose good manners. Chatting is ok, but chances are I won’t see the vast majority of folks I play the game with. I need to concentrate in order to be able to play my best. I enjoy the challenge of winning chips by sometimes out thinking my opponents. I’m not indicating that it happens often; when it does I feel good, lol.
I don’t like to stay at tables where someone is using profane, racist, condescending, or rude language in their chat. When I do chat; I like to give kudos and positive short words of encouragement. I expect others to reciprocate when chatting with me. Thanks for the venue to speak.

A combined B and C. I always appreciate talent but especially when it comes from someone nice.

I believe all the options offered are important. If I were to rank them it would be as follows;
B C A D
I always enjoy playing at a table where everyone is well mannered, skilled, displaying warmth and knows when to shut up :grin:

PS, i’m one of the quiet ones, not that I don’t enjoy the banter, I just don’t type fast enough to keep up and don’t want to slow the game up :wink:

D,

I will probably be perceived as an old man yelling at the kids to "get off my lawn", and with good reason. I find that my focus is limited in my "golden" years. I love chatting on-line and I love playing poker but find doing both simultaneously is beyond my current skill-set. Sorry to say kids, this limiting affliction may be coming your way in time.

For me it would be skill that so I can learn more about the game, I also like the way some players are quite and just play the game as they see it. They play in a good way not thinking your rubbish but they think through each move which helps my to see what the opposition my have.

I’m gonna go for A, then B. No real money here, so I’m not here to get rich - I’m here for the interaction, having fun, meeting new friends. Over a period of time, I’ve developed some really GOOD friends - ones that communicate even off the tables. THAT is important to me. Some of us struggle with life a bit, and coming here gets our minds off our struggles, lets us make new friends, enjoy at least a small amount of time.

On B - I much appreciate that, but maybe not in quite the same way others have mentioned. I have a tendency to say “nh” a lot - especially on hands that beat me, as a courtesy. Not everyone replies - and yeah, you may think “jerk”. But sometimes there are reasons they don’t reply - as some have said, they can’t keep up with chat AND the hand. Others may not speak English! And I know of at least one friend who Replay has muted for a year - he’d like to answer, so he can’t. So a non-answer doesn’t bother me so much. What DOES bother me is people who (a) demand that others quit chatting on the table (especially if they were there 1st), and (b) those that ridicule or try to critique other’s play. I find that especially galling after they’ve just LOST a hand, and feel compelled to belittle or critique the winning player - or deride it as “just pure luck”.

Many of us aren’t professionals - we’re here to play, have fun, make friends, maybe learn. Because we enjoy the game and the interaction.

You don’t have to be a “chatter” or answer up for me to enjoy playing with you - you just have to not be a jerk!
