Re: Serious Rant about telling people about 2+2 (Long) but w/ content

Eh, it looks like you did it semi-alright, assuming it shut him up. One alternative to defusing table coaches that I read about here is to tell the person who's being berated, "Don't let him put you on tilt. Just keep playing your game." It not only encourages the player to keep playing their game, but it villifies the TC at the same time, encouraging the table to play against him.

I agree, villifying the TC is the best way to keep the fish feeling comfortable. Trying to educate the TC is not usually helpful because the TC already thinks he knows everything and allowing the TC to continue is usually annoying to the fish. I like making statements like:
"Hey obviously it worked".
"Poker isn't a 2 card game".
"Any 2 cards can win".
"Wah".
"Welcome to poker".
