I don't have the chat for this... I wish I did.

But a couple of days ago, some donk sat down with me for a HU SNG on FT. As I was SharkScoping his pathetic -24% or so ROI numbers, he starts GOING OFF in the chatbox because I was "keeping him waiting." It seriously hadn't even been 15 seconds, and I had been sitting at the table waiting for an opponent for at least 10 minutes.

I LOL'd at him in the chat box. So the SNG starts and he says, "I'll teach you to disrespect me!" and proceeds to time down every single hand before acting. I thank him for giving me the extra time, and do the exact same thing - every hand, every street, every action. Meanwhile, I'm playing another match and surfing, so I really don't care. Sure, it's less hands which in theory lowers my edge against him, but I knew it would send him through the roof.

This goes on for a while, with some great chat, and finally he tells me he will speed up if I apologize and promise to never keep him waiting again. I tell him I prefer this pace, so no thanks. I counter with my offer that I will speed up if he ships me $50. He laughs and I tell him the price just went up to $100. (This was for a $200 SNG, btw).

Eventually he starts playing faster, and I only punished him for a few more hands and then played normally too. Then I beat him when he made some donkerrific play a few minutes later.

It was awesome.
