I don't know. I think this tactic may work against certain amateur
players. With skilled and disciplined players it probably doesn't. It
can also get them in trouble. I watched recent 2006 WSOP coverage and
Hachem's AA almost didn't get a call that put a shorter stack all in
with QQ because he ran his mouth and tipped his hand. I've seen DN
hurt himself with his mouth more than once on GSN's High Stakes.
