Why?

So I’m wondering why on earth people actually tell flat out lies on poker forums. Is it to just goad people who they wouldn’t otherwise ever be able to speak to, into responding? In the last month or two, there have been a couple of strange threads on 2+2 which I guess isn’t all that surprising. The first one made me howl with laughter as it referred to Nick and I as ‘regulars’ at the cash games in the Treasure Island in Vegas. Lol. It accused us of colluding in a game that the OP had sat in. It was so ridiculous (we don’t live/play in Vegas – duh) that it was actually kind of funny.

The lastest thread just went up and again, it accuses me of dodgy dealings at the poker table. This time, it’s supposed to go back a few years (er, I only learned how to play poker a few years ago) to a tournament here in Brighton for £100 where apparently I not only cheated but nearly started a fight with the OP through my ‘canadian cronies’ Lol. Like there’s a whole crowd of us Canadians here in Brighton, a Canadian (or Canadien) massive who terrorize the local casinos. Ummmm, sure.

But apparently if you reply in the threads then you really do just allow people to chat shit even more so I can’t. So I’m complaining here instead. Bah.
