Ego tilt

[Gamblor]

Weak-tight?

Why bet into him?

Just drop 'em and "Let's go!", to use my favourite whitehaired, goateed, plaid-suit-wearing loud-mouth's terminology.

Just make sure he's not wearing a visor.
"Europe, it's a nice place to visit but please just stop sending us hockey players!"

Does this include calling in LP after many limpers with K5s, as S+M advise?

If so, why raise after limpers with Axs?

JTs, T9s, 87s, or even KJs I can understand, but Axs?

hmmm a sextet of ale

My choices from that episode include:

The sex-ed tape in Krabappel's class:

"This is Fuzzy Bunny. About a year ago, he noticed his voice was changing he had terrible acne, and had fur where there was no fur before."

When they show Fuzzy Bunny having sex, Krabappel goes: "She's faking it"

Lisa: "Dad what if I told you I could lose weight without lifting a finger?"
Homer: "I'd say you were a lying scumbag"

On the mistakenly-bought vocabulary tapes:
Marge: Homer, has the weight loss tape reduced your appetite?
Homer: Ah, lamentably no. My gastronomic rapacity knows no satieties.

In the bedroom:
Homer: "Here in the boudoir, the gourmand metamorphosises into the voluptuary!"

After he sends back the vocabulary tapes:
Homer: "Marge, where's that... metal dealy... you use to... dig... food..."

For me, it's not dropping limits that triggers this type of tilt. It is often getting a good run of cards, which is often followed, for a while, by the people I have been beating up on switching to weak tight mode. So I'll have a good run, which is followed by bluffs and semi-bluffs working better than usual, which leads me to bluff and semi-bluff even more, inevetibly followed by getting caught once or twice. After I get caught, the other players will switch back to their usual loose passive or loose agressive style, and I will fail to adapt, and keep trying to buy the pot. I will note that, if you are aware, "changing gears" can be a useful tactic, but you have to be alert for the signs that your opponents are gaining or losing respect for your bets or raises and adjust in time. I find that typical players will respect your results more than your skill. If you've been getting good hands beaten, they won't fold. If they've called some semi-bluffs, but you've made the draws, they will fold.

My favorite all time quote is from Homer in the Springfield Prohibition episode.

Remember, you play by the same rules as everyone else. The only way you can get an advantage over your opponents is to make better decisions than them, no matter how loose they play.

Once you understand that, you won't fall into the "I don't have to play by the same rules because I'm better than them" trap that causes you to become one of them.

As a gross generality I rarely raise with any of those hands, but if the game is loose-passive enough I'll play most or all of them from any position.
