Re: On Being Selectively Obnoxious
The well-timed barb certainly has it's place.
Often it takes the form of very selectively showing 1 or 2 cards. The Annie Duke show of 1 card to Phil Hellmuth comes to mind. That amounted to pressing a button on the Hellmuth control panel labled 'Tilt' ....which she fully perceived and fully leveraged.
Got to give her very high marks in Psychology for knowing what, when, and how with that player. She definitely took control from that point on to win the entire event.
