...cause never tried it before and I just think it would be fun.

Im open to all reasonable further suggestions because I really am getting sick of always being a nice guy at the table, and have come to suspect it is seriously hurting my win rate. Besides that, a lot of poker players deserve it so whatever, make the suggestons good please and Ill do my best to put them into practice and give you all a trip report next week. Yes a bonafide trip report will be provided in exchange for your ideas on how to be a real tool next time I play.

creative idea #1:

Be looking around for the cocktaill waitress at the showdown when it is my turn to show the winner and try to call her over from a couple tables away to place an order. Briefly pretend not to hear that everone is telling me to show my cards as I make sure to catch her eye and try to ortder from two tables away. Shake my head before turning over the winner, and say "Sorr-eee" in a voice sounding like lead.

creative idea #2:

Hold my winning cards up by the side of my head between thumb and two fingers and slowly spread them to reveal the second card while staring into my opponents eyes with a look of total scorn

creative idea #3:

After the hand, casualy "notice" and comment to a player not involved in the hand, that if an opponents card were slightly different, he woulda had the winner ("if those were the two red sevens he woulda had the straight flush!")

creative idea #4:

Develop an especially annoying type of laugh and use it often

creative idea #5:

Keep bringing up a big pot someone lost and verbally replaying the hand every ten or 15 minutes or so after it happened. Do it agaim two hours later for good measure

creative idea #6:

Smirk and try not to laugh under my breath after witnessing a truly horrible beat. Do it again during each of the next few hands and appear to be trying to not let it show. Glance a few times at the bad beat victim a half hour later and try (somwhat unsuccesssfuly) not to laugh.

creative idea #8:

While waiting on the blinds, step a few feet back from the table behind a recent bad beat victim and call up a poker friend to tell him the incredible hand I witnessed just a few minutes ago. Of course be standing mostly behind the bad beatee so he can hear the story all over again. Be just far enough away that he doesnt think its on purpose.

Well thats about a wrap for now, I'll be looking forward to all your suggestons before tomorrow night. And believe me youre suggestons wont be going to waste. Im convinced being too nice ogf a guy is hurting my win rate and I am sick of all these scumbags I play with at the cardroom anyway.

Thanks for any really good suggestons in advance. Im going to take the best suggeston offered and do it at least twice, also. The trip report will be here by Monday assuming I dont play two days straight around the clock.

P.S. its important that they dont think Im really doing these things on purpose or much of the good effect will be lost. So all suggestons have to be good in effect but not totally obvious. Like some of the above suggestons I can get away with by sort of pretending to not be paying much attenton or by sipping my drink when I do it.

creative idea # 9: lean back my head and close my eyes like Im tired and then start to smile like a suppressed laugh like I thought of something funny. Of course right after a horrible beat someone took.

#10: ask the dealer to show the losing hand in a monster pot that Im not even in. Ask it in a loud demanding and accusatory-sounding tone.
