You're not getting me. I'm not explaining when I do it... I'm arrogantly patronizing.

They won't learn anything from me in two sentences that they can't learn from a book, website etc. It's not done to "teach people".

Btw... I don't expect it to fit into everyone's game... if I'm a semi-lag... maybe it works best having people a bit scared of me at mid-late stages.

If we're not getting you, I'm pretty sure they're not getting you either. I think you'd be surprised at the sheer number of people that are ignorant of the books and websites out there.

I think most people know there are books out there and that they can google poker strategy, etc. It's the mental laziness that keeps them from improving.

When someone berates for winning a hand that they believe that I had no business winning, my standard reply is "Well at least you're not bitter!"

I usually just leave it at that.

I spam the word "FISH" 3-7 x then wait about 15 seconds and type Nice Hand, Well Played.

Not sure why you care but just to shut someone up I say "I thought you were just making a move" when I call with some crap and beat them. They can't then keep insisting you shouldn't have called without tacitly admitting that they're a weak-tight donkey who never actually bluffs.
