Hello Everyone,

I have had some bad experiences recently being a woman playing poker. I have told support at both Lucky Flop and SWC Poker and unfortunately, there is nothing that can done. I am appalled that I have to have filth spewed at me for my play and yet nothing is done to those who rant. For something that is meant to be a relaxing past time, I find it offensive and not enjoyable at either of these venues anymore.

Turn off chat and enjoy your life. You'll tilt less and play better poker.

Thanks all for the advice. Unfortunately, I have lots of friends online and shutting chat off wouldn't allow me to carry on convos with them. Can't seem to win any which way...

This happens to everyone in all poker rooms. I do not understand why you are so much hurt?! We've all experienced it. Such comments say more about them than about you. If they tilt why let that be you in tilt too. My comment to such insults is usually :D or :p , and believe me, sweet laugh. That not even hitting me. And of course, why would close chat when they are so many wonderful people with whom I can chat. If software allows, you can block just chat with that person. Enjoy !!

hmmm....I totally agree with Bee.
Few days ago in late stadium (final table) of a Badugi game some guy told me to get cancer, told me hoping my mother and kids were still alive so he could hurt them badly and told me he would find me so he could come to kill me.

This didn't upset me at all and actually all remaining players were just laughing when the guy busted.

For me it's not at all a reason to turn the chat off because especially in those 'exotic' games it's often the same players we meet and chat normally is very friendly and relaxed.

I've had this problem with stars and fulltilt, I just used the block communication on occasion when people are being rude.

You gotta ignore it, unfortunately there can be a lot of negative energy, don't let it affect your game, you will find that nonsense on all poker sites so leaving will not avoid it, just do your best to ignore it.

I agree with what others have said, just turn of the chat box.. How often are you really making friends in the chat box anyway? I rarely pay attention to chat, unless it's forum freeroll or buy-in, where I will tend to know most of the crowd. If you are making money/profit at either or both of those sites, I'd hope you would let some tools deter you from continuing to play there. Don't let the bad apples spoil your harvest.

He is right! My chat is only opened at CC tournaments! Close the rest!!!

Lol yeah, I use to do this all the time and I ended up getting myself in trouble.
I still feel bad about it.

To the OP. God Bless you and I hope you can sort something.

Skype your friends, problem solved.:D

(just make sure they're actually friends)

Smartphones are smart.
