I see a lot of people using throwable items on pokerstars, do you think these items help to annoy opponents?

If that's your goal, they will likely annoy some people, but by no means all.

For example one can disable throwables and they will be invisible.

Anyone who gets tilted by throwables (and does not have them toggled off), probably aren't too difficult to beat either way.

I do not think throwables are useful to annoy opponents. Doesn't affect me. If it affects you, it can be turned off. :/ Its just an aesthetic if anything.

A good strategy is to be patient and disciplined. If you think that the items you will throw will help you earn money, then I assure you, nothing will work :)
Personally, I disabled this function in myself, and I play without these unnecessary visual effects, and therefore I cannot throw anything at anyone, and no one can throw anything at me either :)

While some players might use them playfully to create a psychological edge (and in fact can create), i generally recommend to focus on pure poker strategy and decision-making rather than relying on "annoyances" to gain an advantage.

These items are essential to calm your nerves.There are no trifles in poker, these toys create a fun atmosphere.

I think a better question is it a good strategy to intentionally annoy other players?..... but to answer your question I think some people have fun with them and the people who find them silly just disable them👍

It isn't a strategy that would work on me. In fact I sort of get a kick out of them even, though it is disgusting, the poop like another player did to me the other day. LOL!! Also, I play on ACR and they no longer allow chat so I use the bottle of champagne to say "Nice hand. :)"

I think the throwable items are a lot of fun, they are a little distracting. I don't always use it, but it's good when you use it after a win, after they used it on you. If you prefer, you can disable them in the settings.

Yes, they help against weak players or aggressive guys who attack atrocities, but they don't help against good players, you can also turn them off in the mechanism, and no one will wake you up yourself. I use these tools very rarely, only when the opponent does a bad thing

Each person is different, I think, of course, there are people on whom this can have some effect, and there are those for whom it makes no difference, I think there are more of the second, I am one of them.

If you forget to turn them off on GG and your opponent throws an egg at you on a larger screen, it actually makes harder (momentarily) to see the cards.

People who rely on these must be weak players and possibly weak minded as well. In order to throw poop and garbage on someone they must also have a weak moral character. You all know who you are! Shame!

I really don't care about the throwables, but I think it can affect some other players.

I have tried it and it worked on a few to get them focused on throwing back at me instead of focusing on good solid poker.

Throwable items are good for nothing and no one!

It is poker and not a "jump and run" game and therefore does not belong at the poker table.
