Berating Weak Players At The Poker Table

[Dan Mezick]

There is nothing you can do except move on. The TA rock that berates the common player has issues. Poker is more than a game to him-- it's a venue for drama. So just leave. Just like the weak tights who are no longer having fun.

Online, you can "tag and release" via the notes feature in PT, and then search for the 'buddies' you like to play with. Do that. Automated tools make this very simple.

The socalled strong player that berates the fun-type players may be strong, but odor isnt everything. He stinketh.

I usually back the fish when this happens. By backing the fish, I mean getting the rock to start talking to me. Jump in and yell "POT ODDS!" or something. I don't want to leave, I just want to save the table. So maybe I insult the supertight guy a little bit. Talk about how he doesn't play postflop well and thats why he plays so few hands. Whatever it takes to get the fish feeling better and the rock on a little tilt.

Very smart. I'm gonna start doing that. I always get so annoyed when I see this happen, but I always figure that anything I try to add will just make things worse. "POT ODDS, MAN!" That's brilliant. Fish pegs you as a "Friend" and has his ego stroked. And a$$hole may get tilty.
