Berating Weak Players At The Poker Table

I wish it was more socially unacceptable for players to berate bad players at the poker table. Instead, the rest of the players just sit there and try to pretend like it's not happening, while the fish who's getting berated either tightens up or leaves sooner than he would have. If it was totally unacceptable to berate other players for their play, the rest of the table would have less problem telling the obnoxious idiots to shut up. However, most players think of table coaches as being just an unfortunate aspect of poker that cannot be avoided.

I'll never stand for it at my table. What is the Email at Party for abuse, anyways? I'm gonna just start reporting people who ruin good tables.

What are you trying to do, get the live ones barred or something?

No, the players who abuse them.

How is what you are doing (encouraging a weak player to leave the game) any different from what you think that particular live player is doing (encouraging a weak player to leave the game)?

Do you really want players who are making mistakes to stop making them?

Really?

Or are you the sort of formula player who simply can't adjust your game against that particular sort of weak player? If so, improve your own game, instead of ruining the fishing for the rest of us.
