Best verbal (or other) psych-outs

Heh, those are teh funnay!

My current fave is employed by my tricky friend. He'll raise, then when a caller tries to reach for his stack, he'll murmur, "caaaareful", usually with raised eyebrow. Could mean anything...seen him show the nuts as well as a stone bluff. I love it.

Instead of trying to invent newer and more effective ways to be irritating, arrogant, and rude; why don't you focus on maybe trying to help somebody have a fun experience.

The vast majority oif players these days play for entertainment. People are willing to pay for entertainment. Help them be entertained and they will happily give their money to you.

Another $5+.50 SnG on UB. This time I used something similar to what I saw Negreanu do in a WSOP broadcast, when he asked his opponent a question to feign weakness:

I made it to the final 2 of the SnG, and my opponent, who I had covered, bet nearly all-in into a flop of 4JJ when I had 82o. After a pause, I typed "u can't possibly have it, but I can't beat a bluff" and folded. Fast forward a few hands later, when I still had the chip lead. The flop comes 889, and I have Q8. I check, he bets the minimum. I typed "again?", gave it another pause, and called. The turn comes 5, he quickly bets 3/4 of his stack, I pause, and raise him all-in. He calls with 5T and gets no help on the river.

NLHE tournament.
The chip leader has a big lead on everyone. 2 limpers to the 2nd largest stack who puts in a big raise. The 2nd stack has slightly more than 1/3 of the big stack. The big stack raises enough to put the 2nd largest stack all-in. It is folded back to the second stack who pauses to think.
The big stack says, "You could be chip leader".
The other guy folds instantly.

Constantly remind the table in a ring game that you are currently...

CHIP LEEEEAAAADER!!!

I can't think of any specific effect that it has... but is funny as chit to me.

You all should check out Phil Gordon's www.tiltboys.com
The stories are old (95ish) and very long, but well worth the read. Those guys do some really funny stuff. It kept me entertained at an otherwise boring day of work for hours. I just had to watch myself from laughing too loud at some of the parts.
