What do you do when you see people who are uneducated or even prejudiced at the tables? I had an "opportunity" to play against a person who was acting this way by psychological strategy. Of course, it was something superficial that was causing a lot of discomfort among many players, but I noticed that he was using it as a strategy only, trying to destabilize opponents and trying to extract as much as possible. Of course, this is immoral, but it's something to think about. If this game was intended to make people nervous, other people should surely share the same technique. What do you think about this? Have you noticed anything like that?

ignore their ignorance and try to get their money, they most likely tilt pretty easily.

simply ignore, if you let it affect you, it will succeed in what are doing. There are many players who do this and I really find a stupid way of trying to win.

Ignorant Players

I play a lot of freerolls and many players on these tables do not have much skill, but they will play any two cards and slop out a win against a good hand, so I just wait and wait for my moment to go all-in and get a nice pot.

When you are playing against these type of player you can not let him affect your game, I suggest you to block his chat, o simply don't read what he are writing.

In live games it's more difficult to do this, but if you are in cashgame you have the opition to go home more early, in case of his actions are damaging your game, if you are winning the best thing is don't get nervous, try to mantain your best game, in case of successives losses you can take a time to breath.

It is part of a strategy that some use, however, I do not agree and I prefer to ignore it

Say nothing and bust them. Waste of energy to get involved or educate them.

Disable chat and do not pay attention to these players. I do not advise you to do as they do. It is immoral.

I do not read the chat, and do not pay attention to anything other than the game. Let them write what they want I do not care for their chatter.

Ignore

If it is getting out of hand call the officials.

It is your right to play in a comfortable environment, free from abuse.

I enjoy tilting players. But when things get heated and I notice it is effecting my game then I just turn chat off usually by getting the last word in.

With regard to such a long time players can discuss the best way but it does not read the chat or turn it off. Well, so I would banil these players for a week, so there would be less abuse in chat

Ignorance is a very weak point that a good player just takes advantage of! A player with such a behavior will become a victim soon!

Hi, for me poker more than a game is a sport (that's my concept I hope not to offend anyone or cause controversy), taking into account this for me is anti-sports behavior I do not consider it strategy and the easiest way to avoid that this affects my game is that every time I find a player with this attitude I block the chat and ready no more annoyance. Greetings

The best thing to do is simple: just igone him/her. If you can not avoid it, put the chat off and continue playing like you were planned to.
Change your game to simply take him/her off the table it can be very bad and can put you out of mind and out of the tourney.
In past times, I usually was very angry with people like you said. Nowadays I simply do not mind and I keep focus on my game.

I like these kind of players because once they show their true colours, they get a note and then they are blocked, it is also a good online tell for me..i will look to exploit that weakness and will pay special attention to their opening and calling ranges and bet patterns, these players rarely go deep in my experience and offer up free chips...

people who are uneducated , a person who was acting this way by psychological strategy, causing a lot of discomfort among many players, trying to destabilize opponents and trying to extract as much as possible.
Quite vague, but it sounds like Phil Helmuth, but he is adored, because he's winning.
If Doyle Brunsson wins a bracelet with 10-2o he's a fantastic player, if someone beats your AA with the same, it's a donk.
Sound all very human, with some narcicism, projection, idols, etc.(better than bot)
It's a game, enjoy! (or leave), free choice, chat can be turned off (except the room's own gambling promotion).

elizeuof had best reply imo...

I play probably 70% live and 30% Online... Online is no brainier... *MUTE*

Live presents more of an issue... That's why I love headphones even if I am not using them... lol People won't be incline to say anything stupid because they figure you're not listening anyways... then sunglasses also helps so they don't think you are looking at them... Just ignore the Drama because if they know they got even a flinch out of you then they will use that to their advantage with the game-play.. Screw that!
