“The card funeral” haha yes I’ve heard that mentioned before, the thing about that is though it is much shorter than these prolonged tanks and less common as they have to reach the river and the “mourner” has to have perceived himself as having been given a beat or cooler.Online casino and bookmaker, Volt Casino, has removed the sports betting side of their service in a sudden move which has puzzled some customers. I lived in San Diego 2006-2013 and I don’t remember ever being annoyed by anyone taking too much time (I never played any tournaments so I wouldn’t know about that side of things). There is a new strain I'd call the card funeral (where a player knows he's beaten and knows he's folding but has to take a minute to mourn the loss, often with some muttering, eye rolls and showing a few neighbours). Not sure why it took so long to hit the UK it was at its north American peak roughly 2008-09. Just wanted to share an observation, hope you found it interesting. I'm sure this isn't just in my mind (if you haven't noticed it you will now), the recreational players (and even a fair percentage of studied guys) will often copy the behaviours of the people with the bigger stacks, if a tanker or two start running hot then the game is ****ed! It works the other way too to a certain extent (but not as well), when I or other fast players have a big stacks the hands p/h will be much higher. The thing about it is sometimes you can be sat at a table where no one is showing any symptoms and then somebody will sit down and tank pre/fold in ep and it spreads like ****ing wildfire! I can honestly say Ive never watched a single tournament so maybe I'm wrong, but I have seen the odd clip (How anyone can watch tournament poker is beyond me, its hard enough watching a big cash game, but at least people are winning/losing a buck or two each hand) I think the disease is coming from multiple outlets, most of it from televised tournaments I suspect.

The disease is most prevalent in those who like to play tournaments, which is such a huge pity as having a freshly busted guy sit down at your cash table is usually such a delight.

Have you noticed how tanking spreads? It spreads from things they read and see on tv/internet and I also believe from person to person 'in game'!Įach year since about 2013 I've noticed it seems to be getting progressively worse (I play in England for the most part these days, I'm unsure if this has anything to do with it).
