I guess you know what the deal is with that if you're making this joke, but I'm gonna ask if you know anyway [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

There always seems to be one ass at the table that starts with " Is the Player to your Left a Fish? ...."

[/ QUOTE ]

I sometimes reply with "Yes, <player to my left> is terrible".

Other times I reply with "Yeah, last game when I check raised the flop he should have dumped his top pair low kicker. He doesn't know that pokerprohecy says I've got a 44% ITM at this level, and that pretty soon if he doesn't start pushing on the bubble he is going to lose a lot of money, mostly he should be pushing any two face cards or suited connecters, pocket pairs down to 66, but he hasn't, and it shows because I know his ROI is pretty low and he needs to improve his game by looking at lots of poker books such as Harrington on Holdem, etc."

That gets a good laugh.

YES [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] , but then again, I always think the person to my left is a fish anyway.

What's a fish?

Never mind.... I looked it up in the dictionary and it had a picture of a T-bone steak. Also some obscure reference to avatar or some-such. Good to see you posting Shake!

meanwhile, there is nothing wrong with a nice sarcastic:

nice call.

when someone calls with a better hand than yours that they shouldn't have called with.

I am not so sure about this. Myself i use to say nh or well played after my aa looses to KJ of. However i think it does nothing good at all. First of all it might tip the player that maybee he did not play to well, and he improves in the future. Secondly i think making this sort of comments gives you a negative attitude([censored] another bad bead) and can easily lead you to go on tilt, or at least you are not playing your A game anymore.

Best is simply to not say anything and just be happy that this player is staying around in the long run, donating his money to you.

Well, but what would you do in this case:
You have 22 UTG, 4 left. All stacks are around 3500. You push, it's a tight table. The BB (he has 60 less than you)thinks...and thinks...and thinks...it goes to 55 seconds...50...40...24...CALL! He has AA! Guess what, you catch the deuce on the river. I mean, I just have to say something to the Thinker, who even "lol" me at the flop. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I mean...if this makes him call quickly next time in same situation, that's fine, isn't it?
