		<description>I type this many many times while in PLO8 cash games:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;Stop tapping the glass&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And remarkably the regulars usual do.  As the donators will 95% of the time bleed back all of their profits.</description>

		<description>&quot;There is nothing productive in attacking the play of your opponents...&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I completely agree.  Berating your opponents pretty much pigeon-holes you into a persona.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;He&#039;ll go all-in with queens, to be called by A-6 offsuit and begin saying, &quot;How is that lady calling me with A-6? How stupid of a play is that? She knew I had a big pair, man, no respect.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;That guy is giving away so much unnecessary information, it just makes me laugh.  He is announcing that he knows calling with A-6 is a bad play.  He could even be wrong, given the escalating blinds or chip stacks, or money already in the pot.  He is also bringing a harsh vibe to the table, which can have the adverse affect of those &quot;donkeys&quot; leaving.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But far and away the biggest flag I receive when I hear someone berate another player is that the berater simply doesn&#039;t know how to change gears and adjust for the play of the donkey.  Sure, they might suck out on you by calling with pretty much 3 outs before the flop--but you want this call, and you want to be around for the handful of other mistakes they&#039;ll make.</description>
