I have a friend does not play poker but in FB will make comments to see if he can get a rise of out people. Whether he believes what he is saying or not. if you are not aware of this ploy in poker you are going to be on the defensive quite a bit so if it bothers you its pretty easy to simply turn off chat.[/QUOTE]
That was me growing up or down as the case may be.
I love satire and off handed remarks like someone gets a boat
and I reply, so so, fair, passable..etc. mostly with a smile of some sort.
Abuse of another player is something I can't stay out of cause I'm good
at quelling the problem because bad behavior is against the whole table
who has to read their rantings and ravings. I'm not one to block out a
rude abnoxious bully. I like the idea for some language if just untorable
and should be reported with the game number and time to the site. Usually
that takes care of them for at least 30 days.
A favorite ranter/bully remark is , Hey ____, you have your whole
life to be a a jerk (whatever), how about taking a day off ;-).
When I get them distracted I will usually have em settled in a few minutes.
When you pay my entry you can tell me how to play.
I look forward to your theory on poker to come out in paperback,
like 1 sheet should do. These usually put the bully off guard and
allows me to mess with em, ain't poker fun...hehe.
Namaste...jim
