Default I've been winning SnG's by putting a player on tilt!

The first time I tried this a player beat me out of a hand with 92o after I raised pre-flop 4x's...I got on him and said how did you play 92o pre-flop only donks know how to do that. Then I caught him playing 85o...and would say...LOL 85? I would catch him playing other junk cards and say...LOL your an ATC player, when he would raise, I would say...WOW he must be up to 94's and I would go on and on.

I just got out of a game, the first time that I beat the player to my direct right with a set to his 2 pair, he called me an idiot...his name was donkey kong...so I said oh that's where they got the "donk" saying, it's you their talking about. Since it would be him BB and me SB, I would say just before the cards are dealt to us...I'm coming after you donk...and are you ready to dance donk...get ready donk...now donk now. If someone bet before the blinds, I would say, Aw (player that bet) beat me to it.

I would keep razing these players before every hand...now I know that they were fuming and would be out to get me, so I played very cautious with my play and tried to trap them when I could and watched for their traps.

I did this in 3 SnG's and won all 3 tourney's and I credit it to keeping me focused and on my toes.

Try it, it's fun and profitable.

One of the players had us all big time...his over 7,000 stack to our just over 1,000 stacks...he lost it all in no time.

You can have some real fun with the Intelli Poker players...ask them how school was today and "do you get a recess at school", "are you taking math", "If you want to get an A...tell your classmates not to call with 72o", "Do they teach you hand rankings" etc.

Anyway, piss them off and have some fun!

I used to do this kind of thing all the time, especially when i played live. Sometimes i got carried away. You feel like a real ass when you realise you've gone to far in berrating your opponents play. When i read super/system there was a page in there that basically said. "dont berrate players, cause they'll be motivated to play better against you.". In here lies a fine line and a very important question, do you want people to be playing better against you?. To me, the answer a resownding yes, because i feel that i am a good enough player and a humble enough oerson to except it when i have trully been outplayed. However, I am not a good enough player to except it when some idiot takes down a huge pot against me by getting lucky. because of this, i have and always wil point out bad plays and donks at the table. The effect that it has on your opponent is based solely on what kind of person/player he or she is. It may send them on tilt, it may motivate them to play better or it may make them laugh and buy you a drink.

I like it shades, they are atoned to play better against me, not to bluff me or to be a calling station, they don't want to be embarrassed if they lose the hand...yes they will try to trap you and that is OK, you just have to guard against it...it is much better than having them suck out on you...I only do it to donks though.
