    Default Riddle this?

    Ok, this bugged me. I'm playing last night and this guy right before me had taken a bad beat earlier and was short stacked, As I noticed(Yeah, I've done it too on a tight table), he began picking spots and kept going all-in to steal the blinds. It was mildly annoying(part of the game) and I had drawn A T clubs and felt the time was good to call his bluff, which took around 60-65% of my stack. Everyone folds, EXCEPT this one character who re-raises enough to put me all-in if I call. Well, I felt pot-commited and didn't wanna be crippled by a fold(Hey it's gambling!)so I called. As I suspected the short stack had a couple of low cards, clubs which I should have covered with my A, and "Mr. Wonderful" shows A K off-suit. Not good for me, but I ain't dead yet. Well, we get 2 clubs and a King on the flop so I need another club or I'm dead. Turn=nada and then bang a club on the river and I win. That should have been just another hand as far as I could tell, BUT........"Mr. Wonderful" starts to "chat" me up. "How can you think AT is good there?" over and again.......at least ten times. "How can you call that re-raise there" he goes on, not really angry(I don't guess) but he is persistent. Finally, after several short replies(and nothing hateful)I explain the entire hand as to a child and ask him what he thought that he might do in my seat. Oh yes, this other "clown" who takes the chair vacated by the exiting short stack joins in like he had a stake in it or something too! I was starting to get pissed, but let it slide and they both seemed to let it go, more or less. Here's the funny part, several hands later "Mr. Wonderful" goes all-in pre-flop and I had A K off-suit(sound
    familiar?) and I called. He shows A 7 off. He hits a 7 on the flop and wins with that. While not a bad beat for me and I didn't really lose that much,
    I HAD to say something, so..........very politely I just send a ? ......
    to which he responds "bored". I replied, I was waiting for the explantion on the benefits of going all-in with A 7 off suit THERE...... My point for that whole story is this, how and when do you respond to "Poker Gods" who have read all the poker books, know every play and (this in particular) assume that having good pocket cards means the only way they can lose is by a donkey play. When should you explain your motives and/or why?
    Any thoughts on this would be cool
    Thanx for letting me "vent"

    Later

    Overall, did you come out ahead, or did "Mr Wonderful"?

    I try to look at hands as small battles, and the tournament (or length of time in the ring game) as a war... It's nice to win those small battles, but in the end, all that matters in the big picture...

    Also, I try to never chat at all, it's just free information for the other players...

    It's hard not to let it get personal when you get attacked. Try to just enjoy the fact that you won the hand and let it go. I never reply to people like that. Turn off the chat so you can't see it if it bothers you. He was just doing that to throw off your game and put you on tilt. I read somewhere that you have to leave emotions out of the mix to be a good player. Congrats on making it to the money!

    never give info into your play....ever...I am a chat box junkie trying to tilt others at my table but do not explain or reason your play with people. You do not want to educate your opponet you know what I mean. You want to encourage bad play. In the A7 instance I would have just typed in a simple well played or something. In the one where you sucked out with a 10 I would have went to my default for when I suck out. As soon as someone asks what I was tinking or calls me an idiot or whatever I say this "I am goooood!!!! This game is so EZ" then follow it up with a couple "you should probably just fold next time i am in a pot" or "I can see your cards" lol
