Ten things you can do to improve games.
1. Stop using the term “fish” to describe anyone, recreational to pro, regular to tourist.
2. Never berate anyone, ever. It’s just poker, next hand.
3. You dont have to talk, but if you do, be courteous.
4. Respond nicely, the recreational players are here to have fun.
5. Say “nice hand” and actually mean it.
6. Gamble it up with them now and then, they are there to gamble.
7. Relax, you might be there to make a living, but have some fun.
8. Some are there for competition, be a good sport.
9. Take the sun glasses off (esp when playing online poker.
)
10. It’s a game. Games are meant to be fun. Make this a priority for the recreational player.

Hi Tanya,
I’m sure he would avoid it but in a friendly manner.
Hope all is well,
