Losing gracefully

I was playing in another freeroll at Intertops today. There was a player at the final table with me named ANT10682. He was in a freeroll yesterday and finished 2nd so I had some respect for him and thought he was a pretty decent player. That's not really true because he CONTINUED to make that stupid double the blind bet and getting his big pairs drawn out on. One hand I was on the BB with QJ and he doubled me up when he had QQ and the flop had two Jacks. But he only doubled the blind, which was an easy call, and the hand played itself after that.

Anyway, this hand happened:

Now that's a tough way to go out of a tourney that you have played for 4 hours or so. But he handled it very gracefully by saying:

ANT10682: fxck ur nigg er gam,e i hope u die duggle u peace of s h i t


Now I made a WHOLE FIVE DOLLARS more than he did in this tournament, which was a FREEROLL, for christ's sake. Anyone who gets that bunched up over a bad beat playing in a freeroll shouldn't be playing poker.

And if you're wondering why I only took second when I had that big of a lead, here's the reason.

What goes around comes around I guess. He had a racist buddy there that kept saying:

Preluder3: f ur black skin


You really have to wonder about a person's mentality if they immediately go for a racist insult when they are upset. Because I'm not black, I never said I was black, and I have no idea where they got that idea. I guess when the started calling me nigger and I didn't immediatly deny it, that made it fact. I still need to send the email to intertops to get their chat turned off. I'll do that now.
