I never play in blogger tournaments and here is why. 90% of the players are in it for the friendly banter and play. The stakes are low and designed for fun. However, the other 10% of the players spoil it for me. I’m not sure if this PokerSlut tour or whatever is a blogger thing, but I know a few bloggers played in it. I saw the tweet from OhCaptain and checked it out. Limit Holdem! My favorite form of poker. Poo flinging at its finest.
Now I’m not a LHE specialist, but I do have my own style that seems to work and has worked well for going on 3-4 years. I’m not much of a tourney player, but I do play in the occasional LHE tourney when I find it. I have taken down several in my career. So I figure my LAGtarded ways would be great in this blogger tourney. And I was right. I succeeded at tilting my first table with my play. But it was all in good fun. Then this hand happened at the final table:

OhCaptain: That would be something I’d bet into a dry side pot
Zerbet: why? no respect for the others in the hand, or just unfamiliar with the game in general?
WiredAces77: dude it’s a donk game
OhCaptain: Because many players would call to seeWiredAces77: anyone would have bet that
WiredAces77: take it easy and have fun
Zerbet: well, some HANDS are certainly donk hands, I’ll give you that./
Zerbet: there is no one left at this table that would “call to see that” but it’s good to know you dont know thatWiredAces77: stfu
WiredAces77: and blow me d-bag
Zerbet: wow, how do you find the time to play poker, doesn’t it take you away from your job ghost writing for Ms. Manners? Zerbet: what the %!$& dude, for someone calling “donk game” you seem a tad… tense.
WiredAces77: i’m not the one berating peoples play in a $5 LHE tourney
Zerbet: wasn’t berating your play, just one specific bet, but I can see how you would be defensive about it.
Zerbet: math, it’s not just for breakfast
etc etc etc… this retardedness went on for several hands. And then when I bubbled the tourney, dude stuck around and gave some snide comment about that being sweet (I busted him a few hands earlier). Classy.
Anyway: I checked this douche’s Sharkscope and saw a whopping $3 avg buyin with a 4% ROI and a total profit of $117. It’s starting to make sense now. And here’s the PTR data for this douche:
Feel free to check my stats d-bag. Feel free to check my stats even though I don’t play on FTP much (except for some donkey tournaments and bonus whoring).
I have no clue who this Zerbet fucker is, but he wouldn’t let it go. What kind of fool checks behind on that river card? Anyway, fuck that crybaby. He’s part of the 10% and pretty much spoiled my evening. Remind you, this is a friendly $5 tournament! Get a life dude.

The unintentional irony here would be hilarious if it weren't so damn typical.
Well, which is it?
You can be proud you entered a long-standing semi-private tournament and intentionally "lag tard"ed it up and "tilted an entire table" of people you've never met (most of whom were probably playing more-or-less seriously, notwithstanding the stakes)
- or -
You can whine to the world how the tournament was "spoiled" when someone had the audacity to wonder about ONE BET you made.
You don't get to be a huge dick AND complain when you think someone else is being a dick.
Well, I mean you CAN do it I suppose, but then you would have to rename the blog to "Giant Turd Ramblings" or something...
I'll let the douchebaggery speak for itself.
