table talk

[mike l.]

"against really macho players, the best thing to do is find a particular play that he made that wasnt very good or that u can make seem like it wasnt very good."

ah i did this the other night against a guy who was beaming with confidence and playing tight and right mostly and having a good session. he got into it with me in a big limit hold em pot and he had AK and i had AQ and by the end the board read Qxy-z-K and he checkraised me on the river and i said ah you got there man and folded face up and he showed AK and i started laughing really hard and making faces and pointing at him and i said "you clown! you chased all that way for that king! you looked SO stupid just now when you showed that hand! i thought you played good!" the whole table was laughing at him and at the commotion i was making. he had a very embarassed look on his face. he then proceeded to quietly tilt off 3 racks to the whole table.

so table talk can be good.
