It has kind of reached the point where 'nh' is code for 'ZOMG YOU DONK I CANT BELIEVE YOU CALLED THAT!'.

That said, it is more polite. And anything I can do to create positive associations with their poor play is a good thing. Just as it hurts to lose to a 2 outer on the river, and it happening a lot can cause you to doubt your own poker skills, the opposite is true at the fishy end of the pool. Winning a bit pot a few times with totally crappy play can help to cement terrible play into many players - helping to ensure that the other 80 times they call with 2 outs they pay me off.

It's a team thing, sort of. Half of the morons that suck out on me probably won't last long enough, or suck long enough, for me to win the money back directly from them. Some other half decent player will probably take the money away from that particular fish. But then I take money from other fish that have sucked out on other decent players. Together we win!
