they are being set up for winners tilt by the deck; wait them out... focus on making profitable plays, and get the short term results out of your mind, for you and your opponents, and you'll be better off...
whats tilting is hearing poker nerds discuss reverse implied odds, and fold equity at the table.
(they are clueless,too, but in a different way)
You're absolutely right, I'm still working towards that grizzled 1/2 veteran status where comments like this make me laugh inside, and moreover realize the adjustments they may be making and the outlook they may have.
And I think the poker nerd talk is like 10x worse for the game, I've pretty much refused to partake in it even when I want to comment. All it does it put people on edge, make them angry and less willing to commit chips in what they thought was a "friendly game."
I'm learning, it's so much different from clickabutton pokerz.
