How to best tilt your opponents?

[JJNJustin]

Since many threads seem to center around dealing with tilt lately, I thought this might be a useful thread to many.

List a technique, artificial or not, that you use or have seen others use to try to get your opponents on tilt. Since maintaining steam control is paramount in limit poker and also in NL, provoking tilt should be an extremely valuable weapon. Also understanding the ways to provoke tilt in others should be a valuable learning tool to prevent oneself from tilting.

Those who want to voice strong opinions that these kinds of tactics are immoral please remember that these tactics do occur frequently in games, and are worth discussing if not for the purpose of tilting others but also to better understand how we are driven off of our own game.

I like to needle the most obnoxious guy at the table.

Serves two purposes:

1. Steams the guy most prone to it;

2. Distracts him from chasing the fish away from the table with his stupid theories on tilting them.

these ideas are as immoral as going for a field goal when down by 2 in the dying seconds of a football game.

crack thier Aces with 72os, this is a great way to tilt your opponents. You should try it sometime.

If a luckbox is talking trash after doing that, I like to sharkscope them and remind them just how much they are down. Guys that play those hands are always down, so it makes me feel better about my aces when I see that they have a neg 46% ROI.

Play agressively on a passive table. Raise, raise and win. Normally works for me.

Talk trash after you suck out. Say things like "That's why you don't mess with the bull." Pause 3 seconds. "you get the horns."

Just talking and yaking out loud tends to really po some people.

Of course this one worked on me....a guy at another table that was luckboxing mad and winning every damm pot. He kept yelling loud enough so that the whole room could hear him "SEND THE SHERBET TO HERBERT!".

play LAG on a euro site then pretend you're a neocon and call them all terrorists.
