Default Re: Berating Weak Players At The Poker Table

I give the fish support by saying things like "gutsy call!" or "wow, that took balls!" or "that's why you gotta take chances!" It's funny, but I find that the tight player then turns and attacks ME. This is usually the type of player who truly believes he DESERVES to win every time he has the best hand pre-flop (or on the flop) and gets his money in. It's really fun to needle these players because they think the poker universe owes them something and find it a great injustice when they lose. They don't get the fact that AA will still lose to 2-7 offsuit 1 in 10 times. I think Ed Miller put it this way: if there's a 10% chance of rain, you shouldn't be mad about getting wet. Those player are almost as profitable because they're so predictable.
