How to deal with a young punk....
Motor City 5/10
Villian is a WPT Kid, as my friend calls them. Agressive and two card poker players who love to play back with marginal holdings. I raise with AQo in the CO, a bunch of callers. Flop comes 878 with two spades. Checked to me, I bet, WPT kid calls, loose passive calls. Turn is a brick (a red 4, if i'm not mistaken). Checked to me, I bet. WPT check raises, loose passive folds. I give him a stare down, he's showing all the signs of a weak hand. Looking down, afraid to move. I'm about 80% sure he's making a move on me, so I make it 3. He obviously wasn't very happy with me and fires two red chips into the pot out of anger. River in a red king, and he checks, I check. He flips over K9s, and I tell him 'I knew you had [censored], i can smell it a mile away'. He takes the pot, sheepishly and looked very intimidated. Whats my line from here with him? Do you i try to goad him, get him frustrated? Or do i just let him stew?

Re: How to deal with a young punk....
To be fair, you are allowed to check-raise with nothing. And it was you who not only gave him a WPT staredown, but also berated his play. He doesn't really seem like the one who was acting like a punk.
As for what I think you should do: lose gracefully. And try and beat him in the future with good poker and not words. It'll be better for your blood pressure and bankroll.

You say "nice hand" and encourage him to play more hands the same way.
