Are You a Confrontational Person?

I play poker, I have not had conflicts at the table with other players.
But that's when communicating on the forum, I met rudeness and insults.
It's sad that there are such ill-natured stupid specimens of the human species.

I agree with you it's not nice when people behave rude in chats and forums

I do enjoy confrontation but in poker you must make sure you don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

I faced similar situations. I try not to pay attention to such a situation. Try to keep calm. Emotions should not affect the game.

No, I always have a compromise-oriented approach.

If I am playing live poker, I'm usually on vacation, so I'm a bit more mellow than at home. I laugh at players who try to put you on tilt, or are super aggressive. The way I see it, eventually they will make the wrong move on you when you have a monster....the best way to stop the bullying at the table or just get the obnoxious jerk player to shut up, is to take their chips....when I finally get my revenge, I can laugh out loud, instead of inside.

I believe we all look bad when we get punched in the face, receive better cards and end up losing it is normal, when we play poker, we can not enter the game of our adversary, often they do it so that you end up entering TILT

I love this thread.

99.9% of the time I'm a Vulcan. Just a complete emotionless shell while playing poker. In the past week I've had 2 different people yell at me 6 inches from my face and I didn't even register a reaction to it. Just kept staring at a spot on the wall.

If you really want to piss off a table bully than don't react to their nonsense.

Also, if any of you are playing for significant money in a place where you'd have to worry about the walk to the car then you need to find a new game. Every casino in America has paid security. If you can't defend yourself ask them to walk you to your car. Don't let machismo get you robbed and murdered.
