Hey Rempel
 

Stop teaching and berating the fish.

Huh? While I can be a somewhat angry person at times, if you're watching me play right now I have no idea what you're talking about. I haven't said anything in chat in hours.

Re: Hey Rempel
 

I also do tend to use a coffeehousing style to get my opponents to play back at me. I rarely use it on someone I've never played before unless they seem very susceptable.

Re: Hey Rempel
 

Yes, let me second this. I've seen it once or twice myself!

Re: Hey Rempel
 

In fact, you're doing it RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!

I mean, this is seriously not smart. Why are you doing it? This does nothing but either (a) make them want to leave, or (b) make them want to get it right.

Either option is real bad for those of us trying to keep them around. You're seriously going to cut into the profit margin.

Please just stop doing it.

If you honestly think you can have four hands and $700 go down in twenty minutes by the same player on three different tables overplaying a set, you are a better person than me.

Re: Hey Rempel
 

But who cares? So they got lucky. Stuff happens. Keep them around so you can get your money back. If they leave, you just lose it. Tell them "nh" and leave it at that. They stay, they think they play well, and you crush them later.

I mean, you're a good enough player to know about the long term, right? Sure you are.

Re: Hey Rempel
 

Seriously. We can't have you educating the fish. They might form a union or something.

Re: Hey Rempel
 

You may start talking to me about the long term when you stop raising one pair on a board with easy straight possibilities.

Re: Hey Rempel
 

You're right, that was a bad play. I admit it. I paid for it. The read was poor, and I paid my dues for it, didn't I?

You ought to admit your mistakes too.

Look, if you want to be a jerk, and continue doing what you're doing, that's your call. Just understand that it will literally cost you money. And it costs me, too, especailly when you do it on my tables. Just do the right thing.
