Re: How Frequently Are you Called Names at Table?
I'll propose that there are three kinds of angry people out there:
1. Pompous table coaches. These are the best. They are whiny and funny without trying to be. You should get at least two or three a month -- and it's OK to have some fun with them as they explain the "right" way to play. Just keep stacking their chips.
2. Sore losers. They bust out and want to kick a chair on the way out. At least one a week. It's tempting to taunt them back, but it's +EV to ignore them or calmly encourage them to try again.
3. Truly sick souls. About once a quarter, I wonder if some ultra-nasty inmate is playing on the prison computer. It's best just to disable chat -- there's nothing good that can come from responding to these folks.
