Hi Glen...we played in the Roller a couple of weeks ago right? I certainly always attempt to start a conversation on every table...I always have done since I first played online poker 16 years ago. Obviously it's hard for people to chat a lot when they are multi-tabling but I definitely see it as a really important part of being the Ambassador.
For those that weren't there I bust on the bubble...pretty standard blind on blind spot where everyone played their hand the way they should have and I had no regrets and had forgotten about it within one minute.
I made the comment about playing correctly to gently rib the guy who was commenting on me limping the button, my bet-sizing etc and calling me old-skool. It wasn't you was it? I have spent many years attempting to preach that players should never educate or berate at the table and generally talking strategy or using poker-jargon is bad too. I always call it out when I see it but that time I was doing it in a fairly light and sarcastic way (I hope). I was just saying try to play well enough to not be criticised by the poker police.

No it wasn't me. I obvs missed your comment, but arrived on the table when the player started berating you! I thought you handled it perfectly, hence the "ambo" comment
