I'm sitting here right now playing the ACR freeroll, and was trying to have a good time. And I usually do, because these games are stress free for me. I wish I had time to play more of them but don't have the time. Anyway a few hands ago I hit a good hand with motoconcho1 in it, and took most of his chips. Well first thing he says is "Fish Win" then 2 hands later I beat another player and he says the same. Well I don't like being called names of any kind. That one there is putting me down if you know it or not.. I don't call anyone names when I play no matter what I'm playing or what happens while I play. This will be the last CC freeroll I will be playing.

Don't worry about it people online say a bunch of stupid things. I had a drunk guy in a live game tell me that he hopes me and my whole family die. Let them keep talking bs while you keep stacking their chips.

You don't like the conversation, get a screen shot & send it to a mod. No system is perfect but that is no reason to let someone drive you out of these games. You have to know this sort of behavior is rare in our games, but standard on most freerolls. By the way although it deprives you of social aspects of our games, a great benefit IMO, you can turn off all chat, or block the chat of those who offend your sensibilities.

I always thought people that felt the need to do this in chat were wither noobs, or insecure. Sucks that the sore thumbs stand out but hopefully next experience is better for you.

I love when people call me names in chat. It lets me know that whatever I did tilted them, which is incredibly gratifying. Also, it tells you that they're the type of player who is likely to spew chips after losing a big pot (you should make a note on them).

Exactly this, if you feel chat is rude or offensive then screenshot the chat and send it to a mod, we will have a look at it and take appropriate actions based on the situation.

Players only do that to tilt you - by quitting you let them win.

In most cases like this the ones doing the smack talk are the bad players.

Thanks guy/gals. It was such a small thing, but it really bothered me, because all I've learned from you all, I try to pass on to help new players or players that just need help here and there so they are not called crap like that. And you are very right dakota-xx and I don't want them to win. I do cut off chat if it does get abusive, but this was just one time. One good thing is that I lasted longer than both of them. LOL
And I got back a small BR on ACR again. Anyway, thanks CC and you members for your support. I guess I will be playing some more when I can. LOL

Actually I've had previous issues with the same player.
I was also abused last week as well.
I will be capturing it from now on.
I was guilty of losing it (Once) when i first joined, you just have to have it pointed out with a nice short ban...

^^^ This. I have noticed it in cash games as well as tournaments, the ones calling names and spouting off are bad players and are the ones to watch for the opportunity to take their chips.

I think these players are idiots and whatever you think of them Papac ~ you should just get a screenshot of them at it, get them a ban and also that will go a long way to tilting them in the future......Just don't let em get the better of you. You're better than that and they know it..........thats the main thing!! Gl Marc :D:D:D

Yep, some great advice in this thread already.

I will just reiterate that berating or abusive chat in CardsChat games is not tolerated, but we cannot do anything about it if we don't know about it. So please, capture a screenshot of the chat (the complete conversation is helpful, if possible), and send it to a mod for review.

Some players go as far as wishing illness upon you or cursing you out with nasty racial comments. I don't let it bug me. If I have the option to mute the chat that is what I normally do. Don't let 1 person get to you and make ya quit! Its easy to get emotional from playing poker and at times I say things but I keep it PG and dont say hurtful things. Its ok to call somebody out on a bad play but to go as far as name calling is childish.

You have a ton of support with the group at CC, PapaC. As you can see, it is to your advantage to call out those who wish to lower themselves to name calling, given poor sportsmanship is not tolerated in any CC sponsored event. Glad to see you haven't given up!:)

@ toots~ when I feel like putting the effort into it, I have found turning on the charm goes a long way, too. :)

This will be the last CC freeroll I will be playing.

Did he specify the kind of fish.....I mean a shark is a fish, as a Clownfish is a fish too.....;)

Hey bro....don't bother to much.....don't let 1 person ruin it for you.....there's dozains of people to make it worth it to keep on plugging.....
Maybe one day you'll play it and have for example Shells calling you "honey"....
Might make you pre-register for a year....:rolleyes:

Don't take it to personal.....there will always be a rotten apple in the basket.....enjoy the game and ignore the (commenting) real fish.

Good luck and keep on playing those....don't let them get you because of some silly naming....

ps....one time in a pokerstars tournament someone called me "darling"....and I was like seeing a docter......I mean....I don't want to be the darling at the table...
After weeks of sessions with my shrink I got over it.....and hey....I'm still playing.....and enjoying it....:)

Guys and gals I really appreciate all the support. You all have given me a lot of good advice all the way from over a year ago until now. And believe me I have used it to better my game, and my life. But I think the most important thing you all have shown me is that CC is a place to receive help, and it is also a place to pass it on to other players that need it like I did. I've said in more that one place that CC is like a big family of poker players with more than poker going on in their lives. And as for me, I have found some people here that I have shared other things about myself other than poker, and I have received the same support. Again, thanks you all. And GL in everything you do.

The name rings a bell with me as well... although the comments weren't directed at me.

As others have said already, CC games are 'friendly' & b.s. in chat isn't tolerated. Why do some people want to spoil another's enjoyment of a friendly forum game?

I would disagree however that it is 'always' the really bad player who does this in chat.... I mean Phil Helmuth isn't that bad of player... right?

I've been called everything in the book too. But it bothered me because it was a CC freeroll. It was such a small thing. I guess I just expect better from CC members, even though I know there are a small percentage that don't care nothing about others. It's over now, and I'm moving on. Need another 3rd place at ACR LOL
