I've talked to people before, usually telling them to fold into my big bets..
I tell tighter players to fold into my big bets.. I figure they will fold anyways, might as well re-assure them. Plant the seed of doubt and make them think i'm lying.. If they fold np, i figured they would. IF they call it well of course I've got the hand

Would I lie to you?

(well maybe at the poker table)


I play against a guy who talks ALOT when he plays. He'll bet and say "If you can't bet my 2 pair get out" and "If you can't beat my K high flush get out"

He'll call the cards like "I need a king or a Jack"

Pissed him off last week because he said "I need a jack" (on a board that the Jack could have made the straight.)

Well he got the jack and bet out, and everyone mucked it to me, He mumbled about the table being too tight.. I looked at him and showed top pair / Ace kicker and mucked it. (talk about tight)

Sometimes he's telling the truth, sometimes he's not Either way its fun to play against him.
