BEing called a fish

I got cold-decked tonight for all of 45 minutes or so (while in the midst of a downswing) and this guy at my 6-max table starts talking smack. Telling me how bad I am and thanking me for my money. Usually its no problem, but this time, I'm already a little annoyed at running cold. So I make some adolescent joke about putting the screws on his mom. Anyway, this keeps up. So I switch seats to his left and start reraising his raises with anything decent. Anytime I lose he thanks me for my money. I end up positive at the table, he breaks even after being up huge. Point is this: If it annoys me to that point at a level where I am not out of my league (.5/1), its got to kill an unsure player. Don't know why I felt the need to post this, maybe to stop some of the belligerent of us.

Sometimes when I'm drunk ill sit 1/2 and raise and reraise all hands while talking trash to every player.

It can be very relaxing. Don't feel bad.

1-2 drunken 6max is a good when you go to the tightest possible table and beat them with always betting.

There will come a point in time where you just stop caring about it. The losing will go on for days and days, so listening to yappers doesn't help.

Which would you rather have, this guy's respect or his chips?

This is all I really needed to hear. I already know I need to grow up, my daughter has been telling me that for years. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
