Default Re: Giving up small pots - theoretical question

He shows KTo. I tell him he had the best hand, and he continues to gloat over his "bluff."

Do you want to be a good person or do you want to make more money?

Trick question because you can have both.

Let him be happy in his triumph. He loses a lot of money at this game and the thrill of bluffing someone off the best hand is his reward. Be the bigger person and swallow your frustration. You know you are the better player and you don't have anything to prove to him. Say nothing or better yet compliment him on his bluff*. Let him be happy and he play longer and he'll play looser. It's very good for business.

* Um, I haven't managed the compliment part yet. Sometimes my intelligence outstrips my maturity [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]. Maybe this post will help me with that.
