Default How Do You Keep the Fish Happy?

The past few days I have been following around a fish at some of the mid range NL tables on Party. The great thing about him is that he 4-tables, so I can get in thousands of hands against him. He is very LAG but rarely changes things up, which means it is quite easy to know where he is in a hand. As a result I have been demolishing him. Two days ago I stacked him 6 times in one session.

Then today I sit down at all of his tables and he tells me that if I don't start "giving him action" he will hide himself from searches. I told him I was giving him action and referred to the when I called all in with a flush draw and lost. He said that wasn't enough and then got up and left all 4 tables and then hid himself from searches.

I am pretty upset because I think this could have been prevented. Normally I would think I got greedy in playing all 4 of his tables instead of 2, but the first day I ran into him he talked so much trash about my play I figured he would want me at all of his tables so he could "put on a poker clinic." I also refrainded from saying anything after his massive suckouts.

Was this inevitable? How do you keep your fish happy?

1. Change your screen name
2. Look for him again...you know what stakes he typically plays
3. Don't chat with him anymore

What limit are you playing that he would be so hard to find again?

Lay off a couple of days, then sit back down at two and don't chat.

Wow. Its very interesting evolution of fishes. They aware of hide search function , they are aware that you are at all their tables and they are even aware that they are fishes. They still play though.
Long live online poker !

I just try and be cordial with them, throw in the odd 'nh' etc. I have 2 major fishes who will come sit with me if I invite them.

Yeah, I rule.
