[Ritter]

OK, I just have to go off a bit.

Here's the typical scenario...

Player A (VILLIAN) has KK under the gun and raises.

Player B Re-raises

Player C (HERO) calls 3 cold from the button with 73s

VILLIAN caps and all call.

Flop comes K-T-5, Turn 4, River 6 and HERO takes the pot and all the 2 and 3 bet action that went into it on all streets.

VILLIAN than lauches into a tirade of abuse against HERO - "you stupid *(^#@, who taught you to play cards? you ought to kick him in the nuts - blah blah blah" as HERO happily stacks his 20+ bet pot.

I see this behaviour both online and live.

Quite some time ago, I realised that this was a great tell on VILLIAN that he, in fact, a) knew nothing about poker and b) would probably play even worse thanks to being on tilt...

...and that made me happy.

Lately, I've been on a "bad run" of this type of situation coming up and HERO leaving the table with his profit (a portion of which I expected to earn) so as not to continue to suffer the verbal abuse and WHO COULD BLAME HIM?

...this, has been putting ME on tilt and THAT is the point of this post.

I find I'm making typical tilting errors of lowering hand requirements "just a bit" if VILLIAN is in the pot.

I get angry about it and steam about his chasing the live one out of the game.

HELP!
