Online Courtesy

no one has gotten to me with any chat at the table.the first time i was called a donk i actually thanked the guy....lol.i love it when they try to come after me because it gives me a chance to make fun of them.the insults are, for the most, quite lame and easy to pick apart,you know what there're like.i really don't mind some one ragging on me if it's at least creative and i get a couple of laughs.as for the beats i try not to bitch 'cause that's poker.....shit happens....and you don't want to wise up players who are playing bad because you want them to keep playing bad...so i say just make fun of them(which really makes them mad,hehehe)and if your lucky enough to get anyone joining you in the fun-making,it can get pretty funny and fun.

Wouldnt it be great if you could track who and where they are when they do this. I would just love to reply that I am gonna come get them, then post their address:secruity:

I actually have tried this a couple of times, using google is helpful, there are times when you get lucky because someone at the table has left alot of that sort of info somewhere on the net.
May not be an exact address but the hometown is good enough to give them a scare.
I remember one time this player was shooting his mouth off, so I looked him up through google and found what city he was from.
Told him to keep quiet because I was scheduled to take a business trip out his way and may have to look him up, he got quiet real fast

I think you are possibly missing out, what people say can give you clues when playing. There are much fewer tells online than there are in live games, so make the most of them!

And this is also true, if you pay attention to the cards the mouth plays and what he says in the chat box, you can get a little read on him.

I think a lot of the bad mouthing comes from frustrated guys who have no control over their real lives and compensate online. Oh, and alcohol is usually involved.

It's fortunate for me that I am a happy-go-lucky drunk who finds it pointless to badmouth while drunk.

i don't reply to anything unless its nh or something like that unless its normal everyday conversation...those spouting off i just ignor and let them rant..it doesn't affect the way i play in the least...and no i won't mute anyone because yes there are times when what people are saying is helpful ....i think the vulgarness should be out or kept to a minimum but if that's what they like oh well they will be talking to a wall if its me they are aiming at lol

The ones on the micro tables telling everyone how to play and how good they are. If they are so damm good.Why are they on the micro tables? Just turn them off.

im generally a kind person, so i'll usually say NH, srry when i suk out, gg..ect...i'll also say, fuk pkerstrs when i get a bad beat lol

I must admit I hate it when players say sorry mainly cause they tried to win the hand and did so what do they have to be sorry about/ I would prefer that players say unlucky as that is closer to the truth.

lol. I was just thinking the same thing!


Why apologise when the cards that you probably hoped for come in, and you win, which is what you intended in the first place!

I hate when someone loses most their chips and say "gotta go anyway"! Bet they would have stayed if they'd won. lol
