Re: Don\'t tap the Tank -- How do you handle this.
These aren't guerrilla poker tactics at all. I surely don't need to "read up" as you suggest in order to counteract some measure of verbal abuse I apply to gain an edge, I have no idea where you got this from, I didn't come within miles of saying this.
It's not, and shouldn't be, a big part of anyone's game. once in awhile, there may be some value to it. Otherwise, it's simply blowing off steam and being able to vent against someone you know you're better than. Is it necessary? No, I'm sure you can do quite fine without it, but if it's something you feel you want to do, then that's your right to do so.
As far as the winrate, you have the right to comfort the fish if you want, but don't get involved in other people's conversations about hands you're not involved in, and don't become some sort of moral police advocate against speaking out simply because you fear the 2% chance that the donk in Seat 3 will leave.
