If you are annoyed by any obscene language that other players write, then just turn off the chat and do not look at it. Some people do it specifically to get you out and you start playing badly. I for example do not turn off the chat and read everything, but in return I do not answer because I do not care who and what writes to me

Don't ignore the player,you should say something to get him mad and maybe he could make a mistake and you could take his chips.

Playing on PS today, in High School tournament one player started saying I was a bot then started to insult me including telling me to get cancer and die and worse. How do you respond to such people? Luckily I go moved to another table before I said something nasty back.:mad:

Block their chat. Simple.

Why do you even bother looking at what he writes? You should never listen from another player at the table. Poker is a game where you cannot put your trust in your opponents, it`s only you. So if an opponent insults you just let him speak and report him because he is not allowed to swear.

To struggle simply:
1. Ignore
2. We call the moderator.

Here in the cc games it is forbidden insults to the opponents players ... if you can without insult here .... soon managed not to bother with the insults in other games

Block theocrat, and enjoy your game. There are assholes everywhere, so you have to have a thick skin and not be bothered by those people.

such players it is better to ignore. if you start to insult him back, it would be impossible to play poker. need to take a screenshot and report it to a moderator

I think ignoring any kind of insult both in poker and other things is the best way, but of course we can not have ****roach blood all the time too

Just ignore, certain people do not deserve our attention, just earn their money.

Sign of a weak player

You should not worry too much about these kinds of reactions. Most of the time they indicate an unexperienced poker player who can't exploit his opponents by playing in a strategical manner, instead they use a very poor approach trying to intimidate, which is something everybody can do it with no poker skill whatsoever. What should really concern you when facing these players is how much is that bothering you? Because, in my oppinion, a good poker player makes good decisions when having a clear state of mind. So, my advice here would be to focus most on what's really happening at the table than in the chatbox. Good luck!

ignore everything they say and play your game and stay focus they want to distract you or just get into you for you to loose your balance.

Depends o n my mood. Sometimes I will spit back vitriol especially if I can get under that players skin.

By far the best approach is silence and then knock them out or take their money (depending on cash/tourney).

Other times, I will ask for advice. And request that they coach me since they are so well versed in the game and slumming in low stake games.

I try not to pay attention to it, the best answer to unfriendly communication is to make the opponent lose and get angry outside the table

It is amazing the disrespect we see in online tables. I think that the best thing to do is to ignore. Sometimes it is hard, I admit...

I, frankly, do not pay attention what people write in the chat... so let insulted or humiliated - I personally do not care

keep it calm :8

I have set ALL CHATS in ALL pokerrooms to inactive from the beginning. I don't even want to spend energy on thinking how to react. I'm concentrated on his stack anyway, in case, he has one ;)
