I'd just watch your body language instead. Get more from that than staring at someone's eyes. Leave the sunglasses for outdoors. You aren't on tour.
Were you rude ? Nope.
I am not rest home old but my hair color is completely grey , I have gotten past being concerned with what a stranger may think of me in many areas of life and poker is one of them. A great tool I use in dealing with trash talkers is to simply smile and chuckle under my breath and generally ignore them as a person from that point on treating them as if they do not exist. It is maddening to them and they play at me out of anger which is a poor decision making tool for them.
Hi all :
This is my fist time to come here.Just wanna say "hello"to all of you.
when it comes to money even the meekest can be mean after losing a pot...1000 times worse online because theres no physical repercussion..
if people cant outwit you or are physically weaker then they will bark and whine ...by not responding you let them continue... next time say i'm sorry if i offended you( after removing you're glasses and looking at them)
Initially before you spoke up, do you think they were talking loud enough to make sure you heard them?.....so as to get a response from you? Sometimes the people who are fish at poker are smart in other ways.
I had a similar thing happen to me once. I realized afterwards they were sort of using the loud convo to draw me into, their discussion. It was like once I talked to them directly it gave them permission like opening a door of familiarity to speak/rail on me the rest of the session. I can't help but think if I had been quiet they just would have continued to muttering angrily to themselves.
Why would he ever say sorry? I wouldn't. They are sitting there talking trash. If anything I would try to get them steamed even worse. Rude people who don't show respect, don't deserve any respect. I rarely tilt at the table. Let them be mad.
I dont think they were trying to get me to hear them at first the woman was explaining to the guy why she folded and he was tellin her it was bad to fold and i just wanted to be nice (i know poker isnt about being nice and you shouldnt give out info) so i just told her so she would know she made a good lay down.. she reminded me of my grandma lol
true...never get in the middle of an argument...especially couples or brothers...they will always turn on the outsider.So you were eavesdropping and inserted yourself into their conversation? How rude!!!! You are pure evil!!!! Well known fact, Satan wears Raybans.
