How you react to players who like to insult during the game?

Depends on the insult really, they are usually one of the following.... Something about your family or sexual preference, I keep chat on as I find it can provide valuable information...

simply ignore them enough

It is pretty nice now. Most poker software no longer requires you to turn off chat like in the olden days.
Now it is as easy to click on ignore player as it is to change seats at the table.

Live is hard to shut them out but you know smile and been as nice as possible. If I make a bad play and get lucky, I will say sorry even.

Online I don't care.... Stick and Stone may break my bones but a Russian troll typing on a keyboard doesn't even have a rhyme!

Online there's no problem. You can shut them down if your more intelligent and persistent then they are. You can mute them to save the stress. You can ignore them without repercussions.
Live is another matter. I've seen the house step in when it begins to sound threatening. I've had it happen to me once, if I remember right I just tried to deflect the insult, to the point where I was no longer a target. I don't engage in conflict at the table.

i love to engage with them. espcially if we're playing micro stakes and they complain or talk about EV and donk stuff. makes me laugh and they look SO dumb. also will report them if needed.

i ignore them

Yea I like to mess with those type of people. I probably over do it,but hey somebody has to mess with those people. I don't mind pissing them off really bad. But I dont usually talk unless.

People seem a lot braver behind a monitor and keyboard. It is like that one video of dogs barking on either side of a gate but when the gate opens they stop barking and acting so tough... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-oCHWsNZwI

i dont pay attention to them ,i actually laff at it when i see someone going off and try to get them even more upset lol - makes them mess up

insult

easy to ignore i have noticed most times player loses when not paying attention to hands ,so they dont stay long

I just turn chat off. It’s easy to ignore online, maybe a bit harder in person to do the same

Hi Juarez

just to remember in the games here at CardsChat it is forbidden to insult the players, so I just leave the chat active in the CC games to be able to talk to friends, I just give my attention to what interests me

Use the Mute the Moron button

I usually will just respond by stating they just joined the Muted Morons Club then I mute them.:stupido:

Ignore them by listening to music, wait for a good spot against them and completely, then smile

Usually I do not care, I just laugh without commenting. I rarely answer, intending to put him in his place!:call2:

I normally do not react
Or I say its just the game not me

I don't care in General. lol

I'm very sensitive person so all kind of insults affects me very much so I turn off comments and continue to play without any stress

Most of the time I ignore it, although sometimes I just can't help but poke the beast and make them even more angry! Haha!

Just I ignore them, make me laugh but do not pay much attention

not give any attention to the insults more watch how this player behaves!

I ignore them because falling into that game of insults only one is harmed since they lose the consent to play badly

simply ignore the insult but note that he made it, note maybe if he suddenly made it after a good win or a bad beat.

I don’t pay attention so as not to spoil my game, sometimes I turn off the chat until the player is at the same table with me
