babalu1997 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Given a recent comment on a thread about unbecoming behaviour by decorated players, I have encountered similar situations often. Not necessarily star players, but players known to be experts whose conduct would make a pussycat out of hideous hog. In fact, I admit to voyeurism and engage in hog watching in the main club. I have a set of players marked friend but whose player notes contain a a code which translates to HOG. Both their rudeness and ethics is unbelivable. There is a particular one who was pointed out to me by a friend who told me to watch the fella's fine declarer play. Problem is, he cannot play with anyone and will invariably log off after 2 hands. Then friend tells me that that he has a regular partner with whom he plays for several games. In that case they play till they get 2 negative imps score, then they both leave table. Of course I was not amused when i locked horns with senor hog and Miss Piggy in a tourney (Yes, the witch of ararat is after me), when i inquired about a bid, Miss Piggy told me to ask is stupid. The thing is this, once your rating is not expert, the hogs see no need to alert bids. Ugly experts. But they do not know also that there are people who mock them, they rate themselves expert and get into their tabels when the pickings in the main club is slim. In the kib box, the so-called experts friends watch in amusement, you see they just have bets on how long the hogs will take to remove them. that is fun, i do not know if it is bridge.

the hog Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I believe there were a group of people who were "stalking" an expert named *****d ****n Yes except the person you mention wasn't an expert, but thought he was one and talked down to partners as if he was one. Still it was pretty poor behaviour; funny but poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The quote marks belong around the word "people". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
