Message: [QUOTE="Izaak, post: 1822477, member: 80657"] I was thinking why are people so nice to each other on poker? The aim of the game is to take there chips. So why would I compliment there good plays saying nice hand? Instead I should insult them to annoy them and put them on tilt, right? I I'm correct is there also a type of image it works best for? E.g is it best to play tight when insulting opponents so it makes them overplay there hands and pay you of, or maybe bluff you when you got the goods? Or does it not matter? Thing is I see Tony g whose very reckless but seems to love to insult opponents and it seems to work for him, Phil hellmuth comes into mind.. Speaking of Phil, he's such a bad loser. Does this make him more bluffable since players want to bluff him to see him blow up? What are your views on all this? [/QUOTE]
