I thought a Table bully was a LAG with a big stack who kept raising people out of hands or putting them in very difficult decisions and gets away with it--to the degree that he does--because of all those chips in front of him.<br /><br />Now once you started describing his PLAY, then I see what I consider a Table Bully.<br /><br />But the behavior at the table you describe, berating the players, criticizing their play, bragging about what a "poker genius" he is (and it's almost always a "he"), doing things to chase away the fish....what do I call that guy if not a Table Bully?<br /><br />Simple. That's an Asshole.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-35421012970058546352012-03-19T19:43:48.978-04:002012-03-19T19:43:48.978-04:00Good luck Gary and happy fishingGood luck Gary and happy fishingThe Neophytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11606959676407800658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-45773285468250581792012-03-19T11:00:05.198-04:002012-03-19T11:00:05.198-04:00It's too bad you don't have strong feeling...It's too bad you don't have strong feelings about this!
