Guy tells me that he\'s going to call with any 2
So I'm playing a $22. My stack is around 1500 with 100/200 blinds and bubbletime. I get a few good hands in a row and I pushed maybe 3 times in a row. Apparently one of them gets annoyed and he tells me that he's going to call me with any 2 cards next time I push. I do in fact believe him because he would look like an idiot if he didn't call. My read is that keeping his word is more important to him than winning the sng. I tell him that's fine with me.
So how good of a hand do I need to push? Clearly my pushing range should shrink if I believe him(which I do). What about when the blinds get to 150/300?

Turn off the chat and you don't let people bother you with their trashtalk. And i don't believe anything people say at a poker table, neither should you [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Come on. If some guy said this, then didn't follow through with it, he would look like a huge idiot. I personally believe turning the chat off costs EV. At least for people who have the ability to use it to their advantage.

If i don't chat at all, villian might realize i have chat turned off and can't hear his stupid little threats, therefore they have no effect.

Re: Guy tells me that he\'s going to call with any 2
Speaking of using it to your advantage... How do you do that? I pushed some random crapwith 5 BB when the table was still 7 handed at L6. BB woke up with AA, I struck back with the dreaded 4 card straight. As you'd expect, I was the talk of the table because I wasn't shortstack and OMG AA lost.
Problem was, I was at like 8 BB then. Still a lot of value in stealing blinds. How do you divert conversation away from "that dude pushes with crap"?

Because if there is even a slight chance that his range has changed, you should change your pushing range. So for all you saying that you wouldn't let it change your decision, you either: A) Give zero credit to his threat. (and remember, zero credit is a very bold assumption) or B) Are not playing optimally.
