Farting Fish

I like to say that i have done stuff in the past to keep the fish in the game I'm on, like buying him drink, complementing and sympathizing as to how unlucky he is, but I never thought i would go as low as this.

I was playing $9/$18 LHE at the Commerce casino and there is this big fish on my right that's just giving away his money, so we are all just taking turns taking his money and we want to get more. Then suddenly he farted , and at the spur of the moment I've decided to own it and said "Ooops Sorry guys, i ate too much" even though everybody knows the big fish is the one who farted. Sure enough the fish stayed and dumped another $500 before he realized limit holdem is not for him, after he left one guy gave me a high five.

As I was driving home I felt this disgust about myself and thinking, "Wow I cant believe I just did that", but then I looked at my wallet and saw an extra $430, i just shrugged it off and vowed to do it again.

Anyway, please feel free to share your experience if you have done things to keep the fish in the game.
