The Online Rail...
- 2-26-2008
In live brick and mortar casinos, the rail is
present, held back through roped off sections, this rail keeps there distance
and chooses there words carefully for they are in a public place. Not to
be humiliated, most of the time, railbirds at live poker tournaments are just
there to watch your favorite player favorite player, or to support a family
member that is sitting down.
There are two types of rails in this world, (Just like there are two types of people) the live casino rail and the more venomous online rail. Whenever you play on Full Tilt Poker there is a chat box located in the bottom left corner, most players use this feature to say phrases such as: "nh" "ty" gg, etc. But the players (highlighted in blue and sometimes red) are not the only who have this feature available. The chat boxes on FullTiltPoker.com are indeed available for observer use and the bigger the game the faster and meaner the chat. Most of the time, railbirds swarm to high staked games, mostly cash games, but every once in awhile the MTT such as an FTOPS event.
Begging for money is a norm for railbird observers; it’s gotten to a point where beggars who are reported lose their chatting privileges over a long period of time. Beware of these beggars. Ship an email to support and almost instantly, they will be out and speechless.
Another common norm for railbirds is the use of abusive language; I’m talking about language that no one would use in live casinos. To be able to hide behind your monitor and type in F*c* Your Mother, appeals to certain types of people. Not me, but some rail observers.
Pro's describe them as regular annoyances; average Joes see them as everyday bums asking for a 5 dollar transfer, but something we all can agree on is there isn’t anything more beautiful than that railbird lose his or her chat suspension over something crazy, that might of even made you laugh.
Be extremely careful with these types of birds, not only do they peck, but they beg.
