one of the most tilting things in the world is idiots at 10nl who seem to get an ego boost by talking together in the chat about concepts they think that most of their opponents won't know about. vpip/pfr ratios and spr considerations etc. please don't ever do this. we put in the hours behind the scenes, learning about all the different concepts and strategies of poker, so that we win the money from those who don't.

nice post harley. i play live a fair bit, and there's definitely a lot more you can pick up because you can see physical movement in your opponents. even if they're not chip-shuffling flat out, you can quite often pick who has done their time on the felt and who hasn't by the way cards/chips are handled and how in tune a player is with casino procedures/rules (davens string-betting example is a good one. i know you did that on purpose btw. fake tells ftw)
