I don't get the opportunity to play in many Railbird Freerolls, but the last two I played in some of the other people at the table were so verbally abusive I didn't care if I finished playing or not. I am normally a very friendly person and have enjoyed this sight very much. I have recommended the sight and invited many people to join. However I hope they don't run to these negative experiences. I realize you run into negative and aggressive people on all sights, but I guess in my naivete I expected Railbirds to be above this pettiness. I have always had good experiences on the Railbird website. I will continue to blog and read blogs, but may not enter tourneys. I'm not a good poker player but have always enjoyed the challenge in tourneys, it's not actually about winning one though that would be exciting. Sorry if I've offended any fellow Railbirds, but this has kind of been bothering me. Have a good day all and good luck at the tables.

awwww you poor thing..... here, maybe this will help.
I can't say if they were or weren't Rail Birds , but you must remember that we have pw theives that their whole purpose is to ruin our free rolls. I sugguest block chat from them, play smart and take them from your tourney table. And for extra fun just say : )
Thank you for your post! and NO I do not think you are a whiner! I think there are a LOT of folks around here that just want to blame others fo thier own misfortune and stupidity and that translates into some mean and TOTALLY uncalled for behavior!
I too have been, and have seen other people, berated and belittled during RB freerolls, (when that happens I always speak up but they generally don't listen - I still want them to know that other people are paying attention) it is almost as bad as regular site FRs and I too have been dissappointed in some people and thier attitude.
I am not sure how this can be rectified, or IF it can be rectified... I just know that there are some REALLY AWESOME folks around here too! and In my opinion they MORE than make up for the ones who need to GROW UP and stop acting like little BABIES when the cards don't fall thier way or someone makes a move they don't like. One day.. .when they grow up they will realize that is ALL PART of the game... until then I just try not to let them get to me and focus on all the GREAT people and resources that ARE here!
I wonder if it would be worth it to report them for thier childish, sore loser, BS... ANY thoughts? if there are any PRs reading this???
That is a true story, and I couldn't believe what he wrote.
The biggest whiners on railbirds are of the criminal eliment that cry's and cry's and cry's about having to be active to get the pw's then when they do get them they give them to their friends or post them onto other sites.
The chances are pretty good that your just ran into one of them and not real railbirds.
To win the tournament you will need to be ready to play 5 hours. Usually after about an hour of play you get away from those idiots that have no respect for the game.
u are sure not a whiner!! met a few of them too...
but lucky me still meet more nice ppl then jerks... so i just try to ignore the rude ones.. they take away a part of the fun for me when im on a table with them though....
YEAH IT HAPPENS DONT LET IT GET U DOWN. JUST KEEP PLAYING TO IMPROVE YOUR GAME, AND TURN OFF CHAT.! GL HON
