Would you intentionally put another player on tilt?

The strongest survives in the jungle. You can't respect your opponent in poker either

 

[PRRP2010]

I never show my cards.
And I don't write at online poker tables either.
But it is possible to put a player on tilt when you win a big pot from him and you notice that he is trying to bail.
If the opportunity arises and you hit him again, he will probably go on tilt.
I speak from experience and I have worked to not think about getting rid of anything when I take a hit.

 

[testing826]

yes sir tilt others with allin

 

[ADRI7HO]

I'd show him if I bluffed and won, and if he gets tilted it's not my fault .
Showing my hand and him getting tilted is perfectly legal and ethical, because part of poker is to know your opponent and turn his mistakes against him.
That's what poker is all about.

I try not to show my cards when bluffing, that’s my tactic. As for whether it is ethical to show a bluff or not, everyone plays as they please. I have nothing against such actions.

I used to always do that on pokerstars! PokerStars, as everyone knows, has item animations. So when a player with a big stack was losing some chips to some player, I always used the "napkin wiping tears" animation against him. In this way I often enough pushed my opponent to tilt at the next hands! But when I became part of the Cards Chat community, I stopped using such provocations. And yes, I think it is a legitimate action to show your bluff. I don't think it's provocation. Even on the contrary, smart players will realize that next time the player who showed his bluff will raise with a good combination.

Bluffing is part of this game so there is nothing against the rules.I must admit that I don´t like to show my cards after a bluff.However, sometimes,there are some players who deserve it and it is none of my business if they can´t deal with that situation.

i don't understand why this could be bad , yeah very few people go too far , but most people don't , they know their limits . if i had a player like helmuth on my table i would try to make him, go on tilt , by showing the bluff or whatever , but i wouldn't offend him , i wouldn't insult him directly . i believe you can use many methods to affect your opponent and make him take wrong decisions , but this must be done with limits , carefully , in a way that is acceptable . so , to show the bluff is acceptable , , to insult him directly is not . if he goes crazy because of the hand , you are not to blame for this , he has issues with tilt and outbursts , he should check these problems of his .

Yes, Being merciful to your competitor is cruel to yourself. But please make sure to comply with the rules on poker

 

[Alexey Shley]

I don't think I can do this, you have to respect your opponent, but as they say in war, all means are good, and I never thought of putting another person on the tilt.

 

[Peteski84]

Of course. It is a game that is heavily mentally dependent, so attack with everything that you can.
I am not in the game to help someone else win.

 

[rsparente]

Yes, it's part of the mental game. If you get a better mind training, why not use?

 

[Pokerpoet2]

Showing Bluff's is a Weapon you can use in Poker, but be wary, your opponents could use the same Weapon on you, and if you do it too often, the more they are going to punish you in the long term.
Nobody likes to be a Loser, But being told you are a Loser is by far, much worse!

 

[Recreationalplayer]

Maybe. If it gives me an edge over the good player.

 

[ZenonBR]

It's fair and part of the poker strategy to destabilize the opponent.
So finding that player's weak point and using it to your advantage is completely normal, as poker is known as a sport of the mind, so the answer is yes, it is quite valid to use this strategy.

Because this player is the best at the table, any opportunity is welcome in this case.

 

[ammje]

If the other player is a crazy player, or makes moves that a good player shouldn't make, if I like to bluff him, to try to get him upset.

 

[Lena M]

In general, I never show my cards, just never, because I don't have that habit. In addition, I believe that any additional information about my game will only harm me. But if I knew that my opponent would be hysterical after an unsuccessful bluff, I would definitely show my cards, and I am convinced that this would be the right and completely honest thing to do. First of all, I am honest with myself.

 

[mervin88]

im definitely going to brag about my bluff not to tilt him but to boost my confidence haha

 

[LUKADONCICMVP]

sure i would especially if was phil helmuth the other player

 

[Miyagi not miyaji]

Why not? Poker is a mind game and making your opponent play bad poker is part of the strategy to win.

If you bluffed someone sucessfully, you're entitled to brag about it!

 

[Parkez73]

I don't judge those who would do it... but personally I prefer not to, because you never know what will happen next and how the table will end... and if that player finally beats me, I would feel very ridiculous final...

 

[DiegoRamos]

You are playing at a table with a player who believes he is the best player at the table and is known to tilt easily when he is bluffed. You get into a hand with him and successfully bluff him into folding! Do you show him your bluff? Is it fair play to take actions that tilt other players?

We think:

If we know that we are playing correctly and will simply use a bluff just to destabilize someone and play correctly again to extract the maximum number of chips, I don't see why not show it, since the strategy consists of stopping the bluff with the line of reasoning used.
Of course, for this to be successful, we will have to be lucky in the following hands to take advantage of the tilt or have a lot of information against the other players so that we can extract the largest number of chips.

I like to emphasize that bluffing is part of the game and there is nothing wrong with making the move and exposing it to other players if that is a strategy. But it is important to remember that exposing the situation followed by offenses or immoral attitudes loses its meaning and your own ego will bring you down.

 

[chicbulls2]

Of course, we all love to tilt somebody and dont like when they do the same thing to us. After all all is ok in war and love

 

[Cooking]

Intentionally no. But there are days I have no time (or even no patience) and I start to play like super aggressive and sometimes I win with weak hands. If my opponent don't have a good poker mentality then I think he may be on tilt after a bad beat.

 

[Erickaie]

Intentionally is not the word I would use, more like provoking tells! for example showing my whole card after a successful bluff, I wouldn't use the word intentionally but more like its part of the game and if someone did it to me it would be my responsibility to control my emotions.
