Saying Ship It after winning a big pot (1 Viewer)

I’ll never forget one time a guy got it all in pre with the worse hand. But he flopped well and went ahead. Turned badly and fell behind. Then he rivered it and won the hand and shouted JUSTICE!
Is it me or is "Ship It" the bat flip of the poker world?
Kinda entertaining for the crowd, but watch for the next pitch to be in your ear...

I don’t give a damn what you say. Just don’t run the fish away!
Nothing more frustrating than the fish running hot and someone pisses him/her off and that person leaves with a stack!

As a fish, I concur.
And yet...I say ship it once a night. Getting my sweet sweet revenge.I’m a fish too, and I know how upset people are when I leave a table

This guy today won a big pot all in on the turn with a flush draw and said “send it” twice. May have even said “send that shit”

Yes, rude, at the casino. But at home, we talk so much sh!t to eachother, it's all good. In fact, I frequently tell the winner "pick up your mess", referring to the pile chips. Hehe

Sitting Out
I personally do not find any offense from the phrase "ship it". Even if it came from someone who I could tell wants to needle me. I think it is directed more to the dealer than it is the other player. I say it sometimes out of habit from early experiences playing, with no ill intention ever. I don't needle strangers in a casino, even if they are horrible/offensive to interact with.
Offensive is "fish","donkey", "nit" or just straight up getting berated over my play. I watch people have disputes in the casino once every couple of sessions played. There is no need to sit there and tell your opponent that they "got it in so bad". Just be happy you made a +EV play that got sucked out on and move on to the next hand. Live poker is slow anyways. Go get more hands in to balance out the variance.

Most offensive things I’ve had said to me after losing a big pot:
“YOU NO THINK I HAVE IT” (throws his tabled cards at me). I see the nuts flutter by as the cards land near me. (Quietly) “I havvvvvvvvve ittttttt”. I got tossed out of a casino for my response. FWIW he called with 3 outs on the turn and got there. He didn’t have it when the money went in.
—————-
“YOOOOOLLLLOOOOO” (screamed in my face at Foxwoods). I had no earthly clue what this meant at the time (You Only Live Once, apparently). He called with exactly 2 outs all in on the turn. He had a striped hat on and looked like Waldo from the Where’s Waldo books so I called him Waldo the entire night and every time he folded I made a show of looking around and under the table and asking everyone if they’d seen Waldo, where’s Waldo. He ended up complaining to Mike the floorman who asked me to stop, and I replied “who, there’s nobody in that seat, WHERE IN THE NAME OF FUCKOLA IS WALDO?!”. More on Mike later.

Chicken Rob and I befriended a guy once at Foxwoods at 1/2. I was drunk as hell but he was sober. He busts a guy pretty badly and the guy gets up to walk away wordlessly. He gets maybe 20 feet away and Chicken calls him over as he stacks the guy’s chips. The guy walks back over to the table and Chicken happily and authentically exclaims
“FARETHEWELL, FRIEND!” (With a wave)
The guy thought Chicken was fucking with him and stepped toward him angrily so I had to stand up (laughing my balls off) and defuse the situation while wondering why Chicken went full Middle Earth well-met-traveler on this poor schmuck.
I’ve got more, too. I seem to bring out the worst (best?) in people at the casino.

I feel like the 3 of us can be friends. Also I hope I was not said poor schmuck.

I will occasionally yell this if the pot is multiway, very small, and checked all the way down and I win. But I suspect I'm the only one who thinks it is funny.

I rarely say it. But I’m talking nonstop so I doubt anyone would catch it.
It’s about reading the room.

Who cares about feelings in a casino game? Be Hellmuth if it makes other players play worse. Don't do it if it makes them playing better.
