Typing nh in chat box??

What do others think of typing nh or vnh in the chat box when someone gets a nice hand?

 

I never type nh in the chat box, unless I'm compelled to do it, for eg playing with a reg who knows me and they always right nh to me and so then I feel out of courtesy I need to do it also. The only other time I might do it, is if a donkey makes a bad play and they win the pot, I always like to encourage them, I never lambaste them, even if they suck out on me (which is #@?&#! often)

 

But out of courtesy whenever someone writes nh to me I always say thx.

 

What I do write is nc (nice call) or nf (nice fold) or np (nice play) or other types of abbreviations where some skill or read has been exercised.

 

When someone flops a boat or they get quads or whatever, and someone says nh, I mean really what did they do that warrents kudos? The cards are randomly given to you and the cards randomly flopped, turned and rivered. It has nothing to do with your skill or ability.

 

I had a hand the other night on the button, I was chipped up had about 12k blinds 100/200. The hijack who was quite spewy opened leaving 7k behind. The SB and BB had about 2.5k each. I decided to call to induce a shove from one of the blinds, knowing that if one of them shoved, the hijack would call and then I could shove on him and he is never folding. The plan worked to a T. They both had AJ and I scooped the pot. Now that warrents a comment like np. There was a strategy and a plan that worked out nicely. (Thx TPE pros, seen you guys do it on your vids and something I've implemented in my game. Nice when it works like that)

 

When you see coolers like AA vs KK and then someone writes nh to the winner, like really big deal, what skill or ability is needed to go all in preflop with those cards?

 

So what do others think? Do you guys write nh to others? If so why? if not why?

i rarely type anything at all in the chat box, except for maybe gg at the end. 

 

most people that do are mostly fish, so dont tap the glass!

Disable chat and concentrate on your game. Use the replayed to review the hands you missed!

i dont type comments in chat too much (especially when multi-tableing) but I tend to do it most often when it is someone I know or that I play with on a pretty regular basis.

It pisses me off when people “gg” me after they bust me, especially when it's a harsh beat or suckout.  I don't care how standard it is…it comes off to me as smug.  Clearly it's a me problem…
