Re: Berating Weak Players At The Poker Table

Get the attacker onto your buddies list. Make notes. See if it is a one-off or if he does this on a regular basis, which indicates low intelligence and bad instincts.

I think thats a fallacy and you'd only be fooling yourself to think that the table coach is a bad player. To be honest the table coach is rarely the best player at the table but usually hes well above the average and can play a marginal winning game at the stakes he's at. I've run into very few table coachs who I didn't think were capable of beating the game we were in.
Berating the fish has alot more to do with the lack of self control rather then lack of intelligence. I guess you could argue they are one in the same. However, these players are susceptible to going on tilt although rarely does any 1 hand cause it but rather a string of consecutive beats.

It is definitely a lack of intelligence - if you play for money, finding and gutting the fish is half the battle.
