    I'm pretty sure the fact that he had two pair had something to do with it as well you sneaky guy.

    Yeah, I put him on Trip Kings. Figured there's no way he could lay them down so I made it look like a huge bluff.

    After he lost he said, "oh well, its a good thing I'm up $500 today"

    lol

    When people are chattering they usually have a hand. It was good that you typed though, because he calls you not because of what you say, but because you allow him to show his read. When he writes "flush?" he clears himself of personal blame since he has already given his assumptions to the table. He can call then to find out of he is right, because if he has you beat, he wins $, and if you have the flush, he is sooo smart. This is a player whose largest worry is having people think he isn't good. This is evident even more so because he tells you that he is up 500. He doesnt want anyone to think he's a fool. Pfft, your flush shouldnt even count once he announces his super cool read. Messing around in the chat is something I enjoy doing, especially in LHE when someone is berating my play, and telling me how terrible I am. Jemb left 5/10 stuck 500 last night (I didn't get it all, the whole table really benefitted) because he spent more time arguing with me in the chatbox than paying attention to his game. You know someone is off their game when they are pausing to comment to me during hands that they themselves are playing. I'm not advocating starting with people on purpose but if they're telling you how bad you are, playing along never hurts. It's like when you were a kid and go to the beach and find a crab. The crab is mad and trying to bite you. So what do you do? Poke it with a stick. Make it madder!!!! Wow I forgot what this post was about.....F beanie

    Once, I looked down at Aces and raised a tight players bet.

    He types in the chat box, "I think I'm beat."

    I immediately type "Good." He then pushes, and my aces hold over his jacks.

    I think it was Mike Caro who said if you think your oppenent is about to fold a weaker hand, you should say or do just about anything to encourage a call. I heed this advice, and keep my mouth shut when I'd prefer a fold.
