Berating Weak Players At The Poker Table

[SNOWBALL138]

I berated a weak player today online, and he ended up leaving the table. I didn't make fun of him for sucking out on me. I made fun of him for getting so brutally outplayed by me. It made me feel better, but I had to leave the table afterwards because there weren't enough weak players.

I almost never do this.

I need to chill out with berating the players. Today I was multitabling 50NL, 2 tables at once. I took a brutal beat on one of my tables got beat on the river by a 5 outer. I got so mad and left the table. Then 5 minutes later on the other table some guy bluffed all-in on an open ended straight draw on the turn. I had top pair and a flush draw and he caught his 6 outer on the river. I went nuts and told him how much of an underdog he was, etc and told him that hes a piece of [censored], cock sucker, etc.

I NEVER do this when I play live. I am not that type of person. There is something about online play that makes me do this sometimes. I try not to, its a problem. When I play live I am often friendly and chatty and I find people don't play back at me much because of this. Mabye I should try friendly conversation online?

Any advice? I am not a mean person but I just get so mad when I get sucked out on for my whole stack. I am trying to moveup limits and I take it personally when these ppl suckout on me and fawkup my goal

You need advice on not typing mean things in the chat box? How about... not typing mean things in the chat box? It's a conscious act. Just don't do it.

Depending on the limit, it can also be really effective to deprecate the stakes you're playing for. "Oh no, a hundred dollar pot, now you're going to have to get a second job!" It embarrasses the abuser and gets everyone thinking about the game the way you want--a fun diversion for an insignificant amount of money.

Think about what you are doing. Frankly, you have to be a complete idiot to drive away your source of income.
