I have them turned off on all sites that it's possible to do so.

You could make the argument that they are doing their job if they tilt you or change how you would play a hand because someone is "throwing" something at you. online poker is based off a game played live where there is interpersonal communication and cues going on, and dare I say it even needling and bickering.

You need to be at least 18 or 19 to play poker in most places in the world, I'm sure at that age you can muster the agency to turn it off or otherwise avoid it if it annoys you. But that's just me, I try and make all my tables and screen as black as I can so there's as few distractions to my focus as possible when I'm actually putting in hard grinding hours.


Hope this helps

I don't even have that enabled; there are so many screens that I don't have time for that kind of thing.

I agree with you that this is childish. A way to get players emotional by playing online. You should not give serious importance to such actions. Sometimes it's better not to answer your opponent.

Go to the settings and turn off this animation... and if you play at a large number of tables, you won't notice it at all)))

None of them really bother me, and when losing a hand I send a bottle of champaign to the person who beat me, but the poop is disgusting. I don't know what sort of person would throw something like that. Maybe someone has trained monkeys to play online poker?

Каково ваше мнение о том, какой аватар можно отправить после розыгрыша?
Я ненавижу смеющийся аватар и аватар "ты отстой".

I usually keep myself on mute mode so I don't see them very often

Throwables are great.

You're the child if you don't enjoy them.

Type of person that will trigger in RL game.

I don't really care, sometimes I turn them off if there's a person throwing them at the whole table constantly,

... some people need attention, some people are little tiltboxes who need to throw things, who knows really,

mostly I just ignore that stuff and focus on the game👍

There is a big advantage in knowing who the children are. Let them out themselves. Good poker players do not reveal emotions.

I don't like this feature and rarely use it. I prefer to focus on the game rather than on emoticons or items that can be thrown at others.

Of course, it’s childish — showing the Kassouf-Kabrhel effect. And here on CardsChat, we have the winner.

It’s also a way for us to identify frustrating acts and then use their tilts and online tells against them.
