You won't make the money
"The sad thing is you won't even make the money."
I first heard this one after knocking out a player when a 4 on the turn gave him a set but completed my gutshot. Boy did it get under my skin, and became a self-fulfilled prophecy; I second-guessed every move I made, and donked out.
The second time I heard it I realized that it was a spiteful mind game, and while it still threw me a bit I was able to shake it off.
The third time I heard it I replied, "Neither will you," and went on with my game. If only all the mind games were that easy to spot and work around.
