You may not respect your opponent, but you definitely shouldn't insult them. If the opponent is inadequate, it is better to block him than to go down to his level.
I don't think you have to respect anyone just being existing and playing f.e. poker. But definitely is nice not to disrespect them because they are not the same level, or they saying trash words - its their problem, and it will may change or not.
online poker is not the place to expect any culture or respect from everyone. Inaccessibility and lack of punishment unties the hands and tongues. This is observed everywhere on the network.
Hi.
You can respect or disrespect your opponent, it's your right. But in any case, you cannot express insults. This is a common rule for all players.
Good luck.
I think if you don't respect your opponent, then you can't respect yourself either. Mutual respect is the basis for a good time. Honestly, I would not like to be at the same table with you.
I would never be rude to someone at a poker table. I hate it when another player starts being rude to the Fish at the table and then he leaves with his cash!
