I understand that after a big loss it's often tempting to insult other players or try to build up a sense of self confidence or just blow off some steam by being rude online to strangers without consequence. I'm guilty of being a dick when I've gone on tilt in the past. But this sort of behaviour isn't good for anyone.
I'm primarily a live cash game player, playing limit and no-limit hold 'em in local card rooms. I've recently started playing tournaments online and know I have a lot too learn. I'm currently playing a deepstack online and though I have cashed in many of the tournaments I've played, final tabled a few times, and came 1st three times I know I've brought a lot of my cash game play into it and it causes a lot of leaks. During the current tournament I started getting berated by a player because he didn't like my standard opening raise size it seemed. I saw on sharkscope that he lost 2000 over his last 500 hands and this is likely the root of his tilt so I can understand his anger. But for all you players that do this, please don't. It is bad for the game on the whole. If you can't handle swings don't play poker. You aren't entitled to winning and if you are as good as you project in that behaviour then your results will speak for you.
End of rant!
