There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

Why would you want to avoid making enemies?
Here's a different lesson -- if a player is tilting against you, they will often lower their standard for calling you preflop, pay less attention to position, and, in many cases, play aggressively whenever you check. Taking advantage of this, however, can take hours.
If you somehow manage to tilt the whole table against you as soon as you sit down, you're increasing the value of any strong hand you hit.

Also be careful taking "tips" on how to play better. Some older guy was "coaching" a younger player on how to play a "better" game, and ended up intentionally giving him the wrong advice, costing him thousands of dollars. Ouch. :( The younger player felt played, but learned not to be so damn naively trusting.

Did someone tell you that you should be playing UX and then have you leave a bunch of mutlipliers on the machine for them?

Way to interested I asked a simple question, you are free not to answer- just thought maybe you could add even some slight credibility to your claims. It's ok the bomb is about to explode anyway

As the Mariah Carey song goes,"Why you gotta be so obsessed with me?"

Just a ticking time bomb I mean it's just absurd at this point. Your writing style changes so drastically it's obvious to everyone but you

If you had said " You're So vain " you might have been suspended. Congratulations on your restraint.
