getting annoyed with critics

[cwar]

I tell them to stop yelling at the fish (me).

its part of poker.

[johnnyrocket]

def dont teach them how to play, lie back to make it look like your even worse. Say its awful I could lose with this hand since i'm so good or something

[johnnyrocket]

this tends to make you more because they think your even worse

[lynxman73]

just stfu and let them feel superior that's how; you really want to "prove" to somebody else you're better than them? bad idea, what if it works, then they won't want to play with you! obviously you in some way feel threatened by them or else this wouldn't be an issue and that's your problem (blocking chat is a solution too, there's plenty of other "useful information"). best of luck

[I dunno]

I usually just LOL and hit backspace a bunch of times. Then I stack them a half an hour later.

CB, what I like to do is talk back and pretend you're a fish. Mis-use terms like reverse implied odds, exaggereate the odds of you winning, stuff like that. You're toying with him and outsmarting him in the conversation, which will save your pride, plus it makes them think you are awful. They will give you alot more money once they think you suck.

I like it a lot. I talk all kinds of [censored] about people sucking out on me in PLO, when they are correct to call/push. Good image builder, plus you get to vent and have fun. Try it. Never leave the chatbox silent. It's fun and +EV, particularly if you are only playing a few tables and can really pay attention to each action.
