Everyone knows how annoying it is to play online poker with a disrespectful opponent right? Too bad! That takes your focus on the game, you go crazy and just think about overthrowing the "bad guy". But the cards can make it difficult for you to get rid of that inconvenient guy, it's part and you can get it. I ask, what do you do at the moment?

I turn off the chat and mark the player.

An inconvenient player is very convenient, they will bet big and fall into traps so smoothly as if they want to lose money.

They are winding you up verbally to make you try to fight back with your smaller stack and once you make a couple of errors your stack is so small that they can tame you with ease.

You must understand something, the annoying player early on is your obedient pet dog later on if you understand how to handle them.

Be patient and underplay a good hand. The annoying player will keep trying to annoy you as this is how they excel (making you fear their bets) they won't back down because you are safe, they won't assume you are emotionally resilient enough to annoy them back with outplays.

Let their ego be their downfall. Arrogance is attractive only if you keep it to yourself and in a bedroom setting. ;) You should be a humble monstrocity at all times and if they chat trash to you, then smirk as you pay attention to your HUD stats and pot odds.

there is the possibility not to show the player's messages, if you have this in mind. And also try not to fall with him at the same table

I know how not to pay attention to it. If you can not, it's better to turn off the chat.

Disable chat and everything in settings, and stay focused.
