To each his own. I'd rather not irritate other players and have anyone think I'm a nit a-hole. But, we all play for different reasons.

While I respect what you say here D, I think that a huge part of the game of poker is the fact that we are able to deviate and be an a-hole sometimes.

If you sat down at a table and were able to manipulate your opponent by being someone of a little prick, yet still strongly abide by the playing rules, would you consider this to be wrong?

I'm not El Diablo, but I would say abso-Fing-lutely. What BK did above doesn't bother me specifically. But it you are at the table trying to be a prick as part of your "game", you are an angle-shooter imo.

Everyone has their own way of playing. To your last question, there have been many times when I could rile up a nice guy and get him to go on monkey tilt. I've never done that. On the flip side, I have indeed been a prick to real jerks at the table, especially those abusive to the nicer, passive players at the table.

These are not necessarily questions of right or wrong. It's just how I choose to play the game. You and others are free to play however you like, and as long as it's within the rules, of course that's your right.
