STFU!

My current bankroll is $771, down on my last reported figure, but it actually represents something of a comeback.

One of the single draw regulars on Stars, namely ThaSlosh, is starting to annoy me. He's clearly a winning player, probably at a much higher rate than me. But why oh why does he keep berating the so-called fish at the table? Yes it isn't much fun when they hit unlikely draws to win pots they never should have been in in the first place, but if they didn't win occasionally, they'd stop playing. By giving them shit in chat, one of two things is likely to happen. Either they'll get better or they'll leave. Either of those options will only eat into this guy's Slosh fund. What's more, people aren't exactly falling over themselves to play single draw, and by trash-talking in chat you risk the games drying up completely.

This is the sort of thing I'm talking about:
