If you have an opponent that really believes he is sharking you, would you let him waste his energy or tell him he is wasting his time?

I had that happen this weekend and thought it was amusing. Just would like your opinion.
 
Well... which one were you? the Sharker or Sharkee? :smile:

Sharkee, I guess. When I play somebody, I just watch them play or do something else that will not disturb them. I want to win because I won, not because I distracted my opponent to the point of ruining his game.
 
If its really bad and its someone you have no respect for then do whatever they do. If they are talking when you shoot or doing something else to you, then do the exact same thing right back to em. But in most cases just let it go. Its not worth arguing over and not worth making a scene.
 
Most sharking doesn't bug me because its straight forward how to deal with with it.

Something that isn't considered sharking but bugs the hell out of me is when a player after "ratting" in a ball or unintentional safety wave their hand like "I'm sorry" we all know you "lucked" out if you're really embarrassed give up your turn.

Watching Fisher v Corr ESPN classic Allison 2 rails a 9 ball and you could visibly see Karen trying not to come unglued.
 
Enough is enough and when it crosses my line, they get the evil stare. Next warning is a verbal warning. 3rd measure of anti-sharking defense deployment is what I like to call analprobebyhousecue-itis. Shuts 'em up every time I tellya.

I told you not to play APA, or at least play Masters :grin:

If you find it amusing, just enjoy it.....let him make a fool of himself and keep yourself entertained....
 
i have reversed or anti-sharked (dont know the right term) myself a couple of times, and counting.

ok, im playing a guy, i am 100% shark proof when it comes to this guy trying to shark me cus he's such a banger, right? i get so dumbfounded that he thinks his sharking is going to work on me, im almost laughing thinking about it, next thing i know im sharked!! and i have guys do things that are like 10 times worse and it no problem because im not in the above mindframe of there is no way this guy could shark me in a million years, and its funny he's trying.

lol, im serious about this too. a guy can yell at me during our match and im fine. if its a c player doing little shark/chalking manuevers, he may get me, lol!!
