Message: [QUOTE="IntenseHeat, post: 2197829, member: 92488"] I guess if you can't handle the chat, then by all means, you should turn it off. I think we should be stronger than that, though. You should be smart enought to see that the guy berating other players for the hands they have played is playing more hands than anyone else at the table and realize that it's a tactic. By criticizing everyone else's play, this guy is hoping that you will tighten up so that he can run you over with aggression. I'm amused by the guys that try to talk you into playing the way they want you to. I think it's hillarious that the guy who just ripped someone a new one for playing J-7 suited just called a raise with J-6 off and ran his flopped Js into my set. I'm not going to comment, because I don't want to point out anything to anyone that isn't paying attention. But it is funny to me. What I don't find humorous is when someone hangs around crying about a beat. Notice that I didn't say bad beat. That's because it isn't a bad beat when you jam your stack in whith Q-6 on the button against my blind and I call you with A-4 suited and bust your ass. I could ask whether it's worse to shove with Q high or to call with A high. I won't because I'm not interested in the response. You can call me all the donkeys you want. It doesn't matter to me. I know how I play. A-4 isn't even in my range. But I saw you coming. If I tell you that, then it might help you make a better decision next. So I won't. As others have already pointed out, it's a distraction from the game. Why let yourself be distracted, especially by someone who has already been eliminated from the game. You can choose to turn chat off or leave it on and just ignore these chumps. To me it's like six in one hand or half a dozen in the other. The way I look at it is that it's all a real life simulation. In real life you can't just turn chat off. Either you have the strength of character to block it out and remain focused on the game, or you leave. Or you could always jump up and throw a chair at someone and leave with security. The bottom line is that I know how I play. No name calling or post hand critique or anything else that anyone types in that little box is going to change that. When I someone outplays me, I might consider changing it up. [/QUOTE]
