I love the ones that fold then tell you their cards... especially when you were losing but they folded to the 3-bet.

Anyway, if you think it will tilt them a little, a little jab here and there can not hurt... but remember, if they tilt you chatting, you're getting the worst of it.

I love to say stuff like 'great hand' when they shove over with air or crap... especially if they luck out and hit a pair on the river... things like the other night I am in with QQ pre-flop, I raise to 6xBB, button re-raises to 3xmy raise, I call, flop is nothing spectacular, no overcards... I bet pot size, he calls... so I'm a little worried about a bigger pocket pair but not really... I check the turn which is a 4, he shoves his stack, which is pot sized... i call and he is sitting with 3-4 suited, total of 3 suited cards (so no flush possible)... and he hits a 3 on the river... so I immediately say "great hand" and he thinks it is a compliment. Sometimes it tilts them, sometimes they get the smart-assed comment, sometimes they don't...

But a minor tilt prompted by a comment to another player... as long as they don't re-tilt you... I love it.
Let me clarify a little... sometime chat can tilt me... so I leave it off most of the time.

Also... one thing that helps... send them a smartassed comment and then put them on mute... will tilt them even more. And they can't re-tilt you.
