Ethics and bad players

[natroyal]

I mostly play 3-6 and 5-10 HE. I run into a lot of instances where players are selectively showing their cards to their neighbors, talking about their folded hands while a hand is in play, or doing things such as reading the board (even when it is obvious).

Most of the dealers do nothing to tell them to stop. When other players tell them to do so, it makes them sound like the "table police" and gives them the image of being tight and too serious (which is also my problem).

The fact of the matter is that these players are often so bad that I do not want them to leave. What's a good way to handle this?

Thanks,

Nat
