Know-It-Alls
It simply amazes me to hear other people criticize and tell other players "Why didn't you....?", "Book says.....?", "You should of....". What the heck is wrong with they guys (well sometimes women but I haven't experienced this too much, lol) giving away their own thoughts and strategy so that everybody else at the table will know exactly how they think and what they will do in future plays. Many of my wins have been because of unpredictability and changing up constantly. I truly believe that even in tournament play if you can limp a lousy hand through to the river and flip over something ridiculous so that the table can THINK you are a moron you can and will make some big money later on with your Category 1 and 2 pockets. I myself, don't scare or look up to Type A know-it-all personalities. Anybody else have any thoughts on this. My favorite response to these players is to smile and say "Why would you do that.....? It usually shuts them up or if they continue to explain themselves, BOOM....you know exactly what they would do the next time that situation happens.

If you are being permitted to limp, than I agree, and when you out flop a player with a big pair it is their fault - don't listen when they bitch.
If you are calling big bets with garbage, I am having a home game on Thursday night - you are invited.

"Well, I flopped a gutshot straight flush draw... I HAD to call" (donkey)
"That's true.. I think it's in the rulebook somewhere" (Good looking dealer)
