Insults in the game, you respond or ignore ?

#1 November 22nd, 2020, 9:13 PM

I completely ignore this type of player, I think that there should be punishment for this type of player.

#2 November 22nd, 2020, 9:18 PM

insulting a play is one thing but as soon as it is personal I think there should be punishments!

I've seen some unbelieveable cuss outs over silly little things!

#3 November 22nd, 2020, 9:23 PM

I ignore pretty much all chats good or bad.

#4 November 23rd, 2020, 12:14 AM

Usually they insult you after losing a hand to you, so, I just ignore it or I block the chat.

#5 November 23rd, 2020, 1:45 AM

Even if the insults are not about me, it is frustrating to play against
A child having a tantrum. The poker site sould allow you to change
tables if you want, and when that person is alone at the table mabye
they will figure it out.

Most times I don't read chat or ignore what ppl are saying. But I think it's funny to see someone tilted and saying terrible things, makes me laugh. I bet if you say something you will get back even worse things.

#7 November 23rd, 2020, 1:58 AM

Ignore. It's a distraction I don't need.

#8 November 23rd, 2020, 2:01 AM

I ignore it or use the sacred teaching:
"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."

#9 November 23rd, 2020, 2:49 AM

I still ignore it, we don't need that kind of bad distraction. Insults in the game, you respond or ignore ?

#10 November 23rd, 2020, 4:16 AM

I ignore it, I don't think that fighting back is very polite of me and it won't add anything positive to my game. Insults in the game, you respond or ignore ?

#11 November 23rd, 2020, 4:35 AM

Most sites ban racist or offensive speech on the chat. If someone gets out of hand report them and the site will chat ban them.

#12 November 23rd, 2020, 4:51 AM

There will always be a person either provocating or insulting, and I'll tell you one thing: even whichever answer you could make is pointless.
I'll give you one advice: "Do not let your emotions play Poker".

Have a nice day!

I am Brazilian and when my countrymen do this type of thing I am very disappointed. I find it ridiculous, especially to keep laughing when there is a bad beat.
but I hope my chance to get them out !!! Insults in the game, you respond or ignore ?

#14 November 23rd, 2020, 10:23 AM

I ignore them, as a rule they fly out quickly

#15 November 23rd, 2020, 12:15 PM

Without a doubt, I agree with you. I believe that any insults are unacceptable, especially among members of our community. Yesterday during a game in our daily freeroll, another player also unjustifiably insulted me. I made a screenshot and sent it to our administrator. I hope this player will be banned.

#16 November 23rd, 2020, 2:50 PM

I usually take the insults with humor and sometimes stoke the fire even more when villain is clearly tilting. I find it very funny and in my experience they tend to play loose against you after that.

#17 November 23rd, 2020, 3:23 PM

I usually will type in chat to remind the offenders....
“Don’t tap on the glass, it scares the fish”

#18 November 23rd, 2020, 3:25 PM

I ignore.

#19 November 23rd, 2020, 3:43 PM

The insults do not concern me. I am busy playing and rarely pay attention to written messages. I think that those people who swear will understand that they are not behaving quite right. Players who understand this will do more in poker than impulsive and mentally unstable players.

#20 November 23rd, 2020, 7:19 PM

This person will be automatically muted for forever.

#21 November 23rd, 2020, 8:02 PM

I send them hearts and kisses.

#22 November 23rd, 2020, 8:52 PM

Good afternoon.I ignore them since those people only want me to lose my concentration..So I keep on focusing my attention in the game.It is the best thing we can do.

#23 November 23rd, 2020, 9:05 PM

Hi, sometimes I answer and others I don't. according to my state of mind. but never insult

#24 November 23rd, 2020, 9:16 PM

Why punishment for insulting in a chat, if you can just close the chat?

#25 November 23rd, 2020, 9:19 PM

Ignore...your money and time spent, play however you like...i know i change so much in tourneys...we all know how cheap ones are, and rebuys sometimes even worse...gotta adapt...ive seen diff. sites play allin, some like cheap flops...but that guy talkin smack obviously hasnt been around enough if hes complainin

#26 November 23rd, 2020, 9:21 PM

Just ignore it. If they go too far they will probably be disciplined someday. Just take pleasure in knowing that they are no good at the game.

#27 November 23rd, 2020, 9:24 PM

I should ignore it, but I can't always do it.

#28 November 24th, 2020, 12:51 AM

Hello.
When a site has gives the player the ability to "table talk" usually have a way to mute players, so they do not bother you. Check it out. Try not let ugliness throw your game.

Ignoring is a good way to diffuse the situation, but I find Sarcasm a more useful tool to attempt to alter the behaviour.
Also, in the event that its a bully, as is nearly always the rule, since a bully is usually a dummy, any challenge to his intelligence will tilt him and allow manipulation.

#30 November 24th, 2020, 4:00 AM

I try ,as much as I can to ignore him , but if he is persistent in his verbal attacks ,I will reply ,in general by asking him if he is 10 years old anf his parents know he is here. Usually that works and he settles down

I do the same as you. I ignore the insults.

#32 November 24th, 2020, 2:47 PM

I think you should take advantage of that opponent state... To push him over the edge..

#33 November 24th, 2020, 2:50 PM

The advantage of playing online is that you can deactivate the chat, so that you only focus on your game

#34 November 24th, 2020, 2:53 PM

I try to ignore. Sometimes they write very offensively, especially when the opponent loses. But it's easier for me than for you, I don't know English, I use Google translator, so I'm calmer. And, advice to you: do not pay attention, there are many stupid people in the world. Take care of your nerves, you need them to play. You will start to get nervous, you will lose.

#35 November 24th, 2020, 2:57 PM

online...ignore and report
live...call the floor after the first insult...don't take crap from anyone.

remember...'needle' is not an insult.

#36 November 24th, 2020, 3:00 PM

i disable chat anyway.. Once i was chatting and accidently put my other password into the box as it stayed.

So since then I dont use any of the chat and I block people when I can Insults in the game, you respond or ignore ?

#37 November 24th, 2020, 3:10 PM

I almost always ignore and do not try to answer, but there are exceptions, and mostly focused on the game. As a last resort, I turn off the chat.

#38 November 24th, 2020, 3:21 PM

I try to ignore them. I have seen that there are many who insult. I don't understand that strategy. Please play and let play. I have even seen a member of CC, with several years in this forum from what I could see later, insulting people because of their nationality and putting everyone badly on the daily freeroll table. Regrettable.

#39 November 24th, 2020, 3:44 PM

Good morning everyone, I have been playing poker since the end of 2018, I usually play on average 8 hours a day, until today I have not met a player who has passed the limes, I have been doing many times with donk, fish, idiot and others, I I think it is very funny, I do not use to caheteiar, the villains and their lines do not bother me what makes me angry is some absurd results, more part of poker.

#40 November 24th, 2020, 5:30 PM

If some villain decides to pour out his grievances on nature on you, this should definitely be used. The more he is distracted by his meaningless remarks to you, the better for you Insults in the game, you respond or ignore ?

#41 November 24th, 2020, 8:46 PM

I really don't care if a player is being a d!ck and trying to instigate foul banter. Although, when they lose and berate other players for besting them I will, sometimes, mess w/them and put them on tilt to take them out or scam some chips. it's funny when that happens

#42 November 25th, 2020, 1:01 AM

It makes me laugh if a player's emotions are running high, they have no place in poker.

#43 November 25th, 2020, 1:12 AM

depends on my mood and how many games I am in at the time. But if I do notice it I make a note of it and to what level - trash talker looking for info or trash talker looking to insult and be offensive.

The only thing I really try to change in my own behavior is taking some extra joy when I can take chips from the person. Otherwise, I try to keep to the math and recognize it as a mistake on my part if I get emotionally invested in whatever drama they are trying to incite.

#44 November 25th, 2020, 1:31 AM

I usually ignore it. Best not feed the trolls. But if it's on a Cardschat game and is really disgusting, I will take a screenshot and report it to the mods.

#45 November 25th, 2020, 1:41 AM

I think it's funny to see someone lose and say bad things it makes me laugh.

#46 November 25th, 2020, 2:11 AM

Most of the time I have the stats of the game showing not the chat so I don't see what they are saying most of the time but sometimes if something juicy happens I'll flick over to see if anyone had something to say about it.

#47 November 25th, 2020, 2:37 PM

Mostly i ignore it. If it gets extremly rude i report them.
And sometimes i reply to drive them even further into tilt mode...
They get mad and focus only on winning chips from me and make
very costly mistakes then...

#48 November 25th, 2020, 3:11 PM

4 tables at the same time here, I can't even see

#49 November 28th, 2020, 4:10 AM

Absolutely ignore. No need to respond or anything. Just not worth my time. Lol

Stay Safe

#50 November 28th, 2020, 7:57 AM

Usually I don't even look at the chat while playing, but if I happen to look and an insult occurs, I totally ignore it and agree that there should be some punishment for insulting players.
