Table Talk

[BrianSwa]

was just telling you what I do, personally I dont like talking shit to people. Expecially in low limit games they are there to have fun and I dont get enjoyment out of ruining that for them. Higher levels or decent sized buy in tables might be a little diferent but as for 2/4 unless the guy is a total jerk im not gonna make them feel like crap. This isnt directed towards the earlier story obviously that guy was a jerk and needed to be busted.

I agree with the statement that people who talk a lot tend to be loose and play a lot of hands. I also have noticed that those are generally the better players at the table. When I play at cardrooms or casinos, I usually look for the table with lots of talkers as those are the tables where you will win more money. When players who don't talk much get in the hand, they usually have a strong hand.

This is why I like Poker Stars rule of turning off the chatbox when a player is all-in.

I don't really use words to induce calls/bluffs. At least not in the hand I'm currently playing. More often than not I want them to be afraid of me. Even on the net I would like to have 1 or 2 players at the table fear me.

Example: Someone insults my bet on river with ace high. I ignore it. Then a few hands later I win 2 pots and say, "yes it was a nice bet." He says, "Ooooh you win a few pots and all of a sudden you're an expert?" I say, "I would say so." Then he says, "Keep raising." I respond, "Ok I will, as long as you promise to keep calling." --- I managed to bluff him twice later on in the session .

IRL I just try to be a nice guy to everyone. I hate it when people gun for me, and don't want people to think if I beat them in a showdown they'll get mocked and verbally attacked. But not too nice .

Cheers,

Gutzz

I personally think anyone who talks shit online especially unprovoked is a moron. It doesn't take much balls to write something to someone who you will never see.

I feel really bad hearing about the fat guy who was being picked on to the point of sadness. Poker's supposed to be a fun game. So many players are utter wankers...
