Exactly, that’s the right attitude. Everyone has their own style and their own decisions, and in the end all that matters is playing your game your way. When someone tries to “coach” you at the table, it’s better to let them talk while you stay focused on what you’re doing.You play your game and let me get on with mine!👍
I remain calm in any situation, regardless of how my opponents behave. But I must admit that overly talkative players irritate me. There are those who seem unable to shut up, and those for whom chatting is more important than the game itself.Every player has a different trigger: slowrolls, excessive talking, pointless tanking, bad etiquette, or players who think they’re Phil Ivey after winning two hands. I’m curious which situations throw you off the most and how you manage to stay calm when they happen.
Aren't they doing you a favour? You want to make it to the bubble right?I find annoying those players that waste time and time banks before folding when they have a hand that's a clear fold. That usually happens around bubbles, which is very boring for the other players. Everybody's waiting for the bubble to burst to play faster. I find it's around bubbles that we should should start timing the players, otherwise the game becomes unbearably long and boring.
The problem is that sometimes these clowns take your entire bankroll for the session, so there is no "in the long run".I totally get you — nothing stings more than a suckout from someone playing absolute garbage. But that’s the chaotic side of poker: in the short run the “clowns” win too, but in the long run discipline and good decisions prevail. I try to focus on the process, not the outcome, even if sometimes it makes you want to slam the laptop shut
