I notice that people are trolling with the helping hand endorsements whenever they get lucky and they stacked you. This is a needle and bad etiquette poker.
Now I’m all for banter and needling, on a level playing field.
My point is can we please get a notification as to who endorses us? That way I can needle them back or at the least to put a stop at people trolling.
I’m all for people trolling me with endorsements since it turns into monthly chip payouts. 
all pays the same
I just thank give a shout of thanks to whomever gave me the endorsement at the table. lol…i also make sure to mention i need those extra 25 chips…they add up!
What is a helping hand endorsement? I think this endorsement is very commonly misunderstood. Many times, when I lose a hand, I am given this endorsement because I helped them get chips. I would like to believe this is meant in the positive sense, as in when I lend a helping hand. One meaning is negative, the other positive. What do you think it means? Honestly.
Hi Carpinator, 
Unfortunately some folks use that endorsement to troll players who have lost a hand to them… I would just ignore them and enjoy the increase in your monthly endorsement drop.
Cheers!
I’ve always viewed it in the same positive view as you have. If you have a pessimistic (and maybe a paranoid) outlook I can see how they would view it as a negative.
A pessimistic poker player seems like an oxymoron since how many of us will call a raise hoping for an inside straight.
It’s a dis. You’ve been insulted. It’s a design flaw of the system.
Pretty much, usually only given as an insult. Recently I’ve noticed the last 4-5 times I’ve been given one it was directly after busting somebody out. A sore loser type of thing to get back at me. Any how, it doesn’t really matter much.

No. It’s people being people. Replay pitches us community. They give us the The Totally Topic-less Anything Except Complaining Thread. They want to give us participation trophies. They want to give us hugs.
It’s all one-sided, the one-party ballot. But there are people out there–the guy who comes to the table and immediately sits out, the fellow who slows four tables to a crawl because he’s trying to play them all at once–he needs to be given the finger. Not punched out, just flipped off. The Helping Hand has become a way to do that.
