I'm with one of the 2+2ers on another table and keep telling him to shut up but he keeps going. Hey "Apa....", if you read this STFU.

If anyone believes that by telling a poor poker player that he is playing poor makes any differnce to that player they are sadly mistaken. You cannot "wise-up" a poor poker player by chatting with him during an online poker game. You are suffering from "old pro's paranoia" that says don't wise up the poor player. Forget it. Online players are beyond help. They play bad and will always play bad regardless of what anyone tells them in a chat line. In fact by chatting with them, negatively or positively, they are more likely to stay in the game, which is where you want them to be. Twoplustwo folk should be more than happy to share their expertise with novice and recreational players. They are the reason we play poker.

Right, this is wrong. Just today I was playing with a total donk at my Royal Holdem table who kept capping with the nut straight, it was awesome. Then some jackass table coach decided to berate him and tell him how he was a moron for capping with the nut straight on the flop when the straight can't really win. The guy was like "oh, you're right, thanks." He left shortly thereafter and the game went to crap.
