I don't talk that much online but I generally noticed that the pissed players are usually easier to win off than the composed players.

In the casino (where at 3/6 there's a really good chance they loose-passive-suck) they stop "having fun" sooner and take their money home sooner. I like the idea of creating a fun atmosphere where people can leave thinking:

"Hey...I'd have spent that much taking my wife out to dinner and to a show. So no big deal. I'll be back."

I agree with this 100%.

My last casino experience was playing some 3/6 at a horrible table. I was doing chip tricks, I was outplaying everybody and showing, but we were all having a great time. They had no problem giving me money, and even talking about it, because they were having a good time. Doing something like not chopping is completely risking the fun atmosphere of the table and could possibly tighten everybody up or cause them to leave. Not worth it IMO.

However, when I play live I am doing it for fun, and when I play online I am doing it for money...
