Message: [QUOTE="Fuffufnick, post: 2196910, member: 89593"] It seems that in this case chat was effective for you. Sort of a reverse implied odds situation for him. It really seems, from all you've said, that his game was about intimidation (bringing $42+ to a .10/.25 limit game along with the insults and name calling) rather than solid play. Personally, I love reading the chat box tho very rarely use it myself (the emotes on merge are kind of cool tho). To my way of thinking, intellect is a poker player's greatest attribute, so if I can get a read on an opponent's level of thinking from the stupid crap they type into the box the better for me. Insults, racist remarks and name calling I feel are all indicative of small and exploitable minds. Vanessa Selbst was once asked, "What advice would you give a player to improve their game?" She replied, "Think about what others do that pisses you off, whether it's 3 and 4 betting you, raising your button... whatever, then find ways to incorporate that into your own game." So if I run into someone who calls me a donk, fish, idiot.. whatever, I know I've gotten under this guys skin in some way and am absolutely elated by the fact! So if I can find a way to exploit that, getting him to play on pride and emotion rather than thinking situations through... hurray for me. I'll goad him on LMAO the entire time. When it comes down to it he will either not want to contest a pot with me for fear of losing to the guy who he's been calling a donk or will at some point over play a hand (as what seems to have happened in your case) out of pure ego. Win, win in either case as long as you are mature enough to not get caught up in it yourself. [/QUOTE]
