you're trolling surely?

I don't think it's an act that's just what he said in that magazine. Personally I've watched both full episodes and it def wasn't acting..

Also rofl that he almost falls over in the post win interview, but ofc he's 'acting' :DD

Obv this isnt true for all people but meh generally i think it is. Even if they dont reload that one time, maybe they come back next week and keep coming back as long as you're friendly about busting them.

In my experience of berating ppl when on tilt, I won almost all sessions and they stayed for a longer time than usual.

Even if it's true what you say, which I doubt, that the fish plays longer if you berate them it's not looking at the big picture. What about all the reg donators; examples off the top of my head steve harris on stars and guy laliberte on ft. Do you seriously think that they'd keep playing if they'd be berated every time they played?

Personally I've often seen the fish berated by regs and more often than not they'll leave soon afterwards. It's one of the most annoying things that happens at the poker table. If you feel the need to berate some players at least just berate the tags or the nits.

Berating the fish makes you a total fag and I don't care if it works for Rhaegar and he's made 1000000x more than me, it's still one of the lamest things ever IMO. If you need to talk shit to get your opponents to play worse so you can win, then you should spend your time getting better at poker instead of being such a tool/jerk/lame human being.

Berating the douchebags who berate the fish though, is 100% acceptable and encouraged by me.

yeah, had position on the sickest fish ever at my table today and he just doubled up so we where 200bb deep and i was like "WOOOOA LETS ROCK!!" and then the guy he doubled up from started calling him an idiot donk and so on and he left after 2 hands and i just wanted to strangle that idiot nit reg player.

i berated a regular fish yesterday telling him how ugly his play was, i was definitelly mad but doing it LIVE on the final table is 100000 times worse

because you are better than them, but it doesnt mean berating is good, berating is bad always, and its not only about equity ffs, its about etiquette and self control.

i make a lot of money without having to stoop to those levels

i talk unbelievable amounts of shit to short stackers, regs berating fish, and regs berating me.

QFT

i do it in all caps too. pretty sure some of them think im retarded

i think i lost even more respect for scotty(even tho i had none) because of what he just said during his interview in the ME coverage. he said basically that he cannot keep it inside and that sometimes hes gotta just let it out, however the entire time he was on top of his game. fuck this clown. i do respect the announcers tho, they basically said they lost tons of respect for him and bring up his bad behavior @ every chance it seems. i do like that.

lol tournaments

i never talk ever :[
