Re: responding to insults at the table
Depends on HOW he's insulting you. If he's just telling you that you did something wrong, I like to ask him what he means, as if I'm a total fish. Say, "What did I do wrong?" and hear him out...act like a beginner who just wants to learn. Two advantages: 1.makes him (and everyonbe else) think yr a N00b 2. lets you know how he plays...
Plus others might chime in too, more free info. You don't have to ham it up, just be kind of sorry that you "screwed up" or whatever. Your pride is nothing, let it go. Plus, it keeps the table friendly and light, and even if you can piss him off into playing badly, he'll play a lot worse if he thinks he's "educated" you.
Now, if he's not being a nit, and he's just straight up insulting you...think: "WWACjrD?"
