Tong g is sitting at your table, you can play poker pretty well and you beat him with an average hand. He starts to slag and humiliate you in front of the table like he did with the Russian guy. how would you react?

In every action has an opposite reaction, in this case in particular, the best thing to do is to ignore your opponent, not to enter into your game of provocations, otherwise you will surely lose at the end and become even more furious

The best thing you do is ignore him.
Good luck!

My honest feeling is not to respond.....they try to get under your skin and upset you so that you make mistakes. I mean look at Will Kassouf in the wsop main event and other tourneys since then....nuff said

I would see if he could back his mouth up.... I wouldn't sit there an put up with anyone talking trash to me. I can run with the Big Dogs, so he would need to deal with my verbal attacks, possibly physical attacks....
We would probably come to an understanding, very soon, I think. If not, He would be on the defensive....

Russian in such cases, hit in the face. Let live tried.

I would wait until I have the best of it against him and catch him for a huge pot and then I would say,

"HOW DOES MY ASS TASTE?"

I'd remind him we are on camera and that when he insulted the Russian he got permanently banned from entering Russian soil.

It was a combination of that comment and something he said in Lithuania where he's a member of parliament and made an official statement about trying to make laws against Russian emigration into Lithuania and engaging in trade sanctions with Russia (tony G was a Lithuanian politician and still was part-time one while playing poker)

I would talk smack right back to him, it would be fun. Not enough smack talk these days, just a bunch of robots at the tables

Long time listener, first time caller.

While you cant do anything about his actions, your reaction is within your control. And is telling of your personality, much like his is telling of him.

I take the high road because I'm better than what he's shelling out...

My thoughts, I look forward to hearing yours.

Personally, i don't like Tony G just because of his trash talk, he is annoying and loud so i would try to make him really nervous, not just answering the same

Turn off the chat if you are online.
In offline game it all depends on the situation with your hand.
Sometimes it is necessary to keep silent, and sometimes to respond more rigidly.

I think you need to humiliate each unsuccessful move. Very helpful. He will be angry and will lose.
