"Nice call... unlucky." - if he puts his money in bad and doesn't hit.
"Nice call... unlucky I had a hand / I wasn't bluffing." - if he makes a bad call at the showdown.
"Nice call... always trust that gut instinct ;)" - if he puts his money in bad and hits.
It's hard for some to refrain from calling out the donkey on his bad moves, and I've been a victim of that myself in the past. I think we all know that we shouldn't be doing that, but I don't see many players do the opposite. Why not encourage the donkey to keep making terrible calls? So many of them justify their plays by "having a feeling", and think their losses are due to bad luck, so why not casually and in a friendly way reinforce that belief into their little fish minds?
It would be great to see the day when this becomes common place. This can only increase the number of donkeys who would otherwise eventually educate themselves but don't because we reinforce that false belief without being confrontational or accusatory.

Agree with you. I play mostly micro sngs, and I'm not very good, but at the levels I play you see the most horrid calls bets etc. Never understand calling out other people's plays.
Played in one awhile ago, where a guy said after the hand was over, I should have called, I had a q. That's when you know the guy is totally new. He was calling out people left and right the whole game. For making correct push/fold/calls. Ironically it was him and I heads up and I had a large chip lead, and he shoved I called w/ A6, he shows jj, I hit an ace. He says "WOW". He obviously hasn't played many turbos, or any other forms of poker.
I know isn't the case of what you're talking about ie when the total donk calls everyone else out, I just wanted to share.

a bad call and a suck out is tolerable to an extent. but when they play a hand so badly and then get lucky they need to be called out

Why, exactly? To what end?

Just force yourself to type "nh" and move on. You will forget about it and get back to business.

or if someone bluffs you big time and shows, what you should do is punch the end of the felt as hard as you can with a hammer fist. THEN!!! And this is only if he is sitting right next to you, give him a hard ass pat on the arm(like what you do to your buddies with an open hand but do it where it practically moves him off his chair)
lololololol THEN!!!
put out your hand to shake his hand to prevent him from punching you...

"nh" works great, they think you mean it and you get to sarcastically complement their play. It's win/win, they'll still make the bad calls.

You can always expect this to come out of my mouth whether I get bad beat, coolered, or caught bluffing. Anytime I bust, thats my line. LOL.

I rage/tilt for like 5 min, or until I bust out, fwiw, but only in tourney.
