Semi-Bluff or Donkey Call
When you make the semi-bluff or donkey call and, suck out how do you deal with the the name calling and, chatter that is bound to follow?

DONT BLUFF A DONKEY

Well my preferred site to suck out on is Carbon because I just throw up a 'thumbsup' smiley or a 'winking' smiley, lol

Have to say I dont really make many of them but I deal with all the idiots on chat by not evenreading whats being said. Dont get drawn into it.

I believe that reading everything that is said in chat at the cyber poker table is a must for being able to comprehend what is going on at the table. Things like knowing who is angry, on tilt, or just simply arrogant are always key to which style I play at what table. Yes, betting styles are taking into consideration, but there is no replacement for understanding who is after who by watching them verbally abuse and self destruct in chat. When someone is pissed off or just being very arrogant I would give them a 20-50% better chance of calling me with absolutely nothing.

I didn't mean to stray off the subject in that last post. So, to answer the original question. Instead of letting it bother me I use it constructively to possibly make my good hands appear to be a direct attack at the ppl that are badmouthing me. Of course you have to play it smart if they are on tilt. My advice is to eat it up.

I play it off, no sense in letting a few words get you all worked up.

IU think Bishop hit it right on the nose. Eat it up. Ecspecially if u can follow it up with a monster hand shortly there after. Play on their anger and hopefully don't get donked yourself. GL at the tables

i think everybody makes a donkey call but if u cant handle it put your chat off so u wont see what they r calling u

If you don't occasionally make a donkey call you're not mixing it up enough and if your opponents get tilty, take advantage of them like Bishop said.

Usually I'll apologize or say something like "OMG I can't believe I made such a donkey call".

Looking a little loose will help you later when you have a good hand.

Personally, I absorb it and use it as much as I can. I claim to be lucky. I claim to be god's representative on earth with hand's like that. Play it up like you meant it.

if u suck out then dont say anything bcos its bad play, unless the guy sucked out on u and started beefin u, then it's ok to say something.
But if u loose to a suck out then jus forget bout it and carryone. It's normal to loose and get angry and shout but its more a better player to forget bout it, say nice hand and move on....
