Re: responding to insults at the table
One of the best quotes I have seen on how to handle situations like this is by Tommy Angelo:
[ QUOTE ] Now, if he had intended this as a sincere question, I would have ignored him politely. But he didn’t. He was being mean, on purpose. He was mocking me and my poker playing. His intent was to injure me. I lost my cool and I got rough. I ignored him ruthlessly. [/ QUOTE ]

Tell him the jerk store called and they're running out of him.

Re: responding to insults at the table
"I'm sorry, I'll try to play better from now on"
is fuckign awesome. The best one by far. or, grab a few chips and say "you see these, they these used to be yours. This one, and this one..." Or one time I had KQ on a T976 board or something and I thought my opponent was full of [censored] anyway(I was strongly considering calling him all the way), the river was K, I checked he bet I paused, and ended up calling. He got all annoyed that I thought so long with a pair of kings so I just told him the truth "I was thinking about raising" For some reason that set him off and he started calling me greedy.

Re: responding to insults at the table
I like the iPod solution and I like turning off the chat online. People say so many dumb things that it's hard to refrain from explaining how they're wrong but it's not a good idea to educate at the table. If you're one who can trade "barbs" easily go for the gusto.

Re: responding to insults at the table
If they are giving lame advice, tell them you're new and ask for further advice.
If they're giving good/decent advice, ignore them or: - do a "we'll see who leaves with all the chips." make it look like you have it out for them without being a dick. In cash NL games, make overbet raises with strong holdings. - bashfully thank them for the advice without any hint of sarcasm -kyo

Re: responding to insults at the table
When someone insults you, it's time to flip over the table and get out your gun. Just like the old days.
Actually I just saw someone get escorted out of Foxwoods yesterday for calling someone a dumb [censored] rather loudly...
