The merits of speech play (DTD Live Cash)

[muckthenuts]

I think there is a really feasible edge to be found playing on the egos of prideful bad regs in live cash games. Like there's this one tactic i use an awful lot live in Birmingham vs guys i know have big egos, when i've bet the river knowing i've got the best hand, i'll simply just stare right at them while they tank. That makes them never want to back down from a kid who's staring them out and they'll always call me this way. Is that bad etiquette? I think it's the same concept as goading them using speech play though perhaps less confrontational.

lol. Well aware of how basic my "speech play" was. In hand 2, I think this works about 10% of the time. Hand 1, I got done (a little disappointed in myself here), and hand 3, let's be honest, the stacks are going in regardless.

I am really interested in just general opinions of whether it should be used, and if how I (attempt to) use it is ool. At the end of the day, I finished £230 up so happy days, but am I ignoring the spirit of the game?

Really? I don't rate it so highly.

All seems a bit Jamie Gold.

Hate to say it, I expected more.
