FOLD FOLD FOLD!!!

There do you feel a burning desire to call...do you guys ever taunt if you think you have the nuts and can get a call out of a player or do you just keep shtum

or use the chat for anything strategy wise?

Mike Caro has a theory that poker players can be induced to call by any sort of activity. He says it doesn't matter what you say or do while your opponents are contemplating a call. . . almost anything works. You can chat jibberish or move around in your seat or start adjusting your chips. They all help according to Caro.

I forget where I read this. I think it was one of the articles in the library on his website.

It's is in "Mike Caro's Book of Tells". He talks about it five or six times.

Online, I don't chat in the middle of a hand that i"m in unless it's in the middle of another conversation.
