This happened last Friday and I thought it was funny:
Chip leader/or second CL at a 45p S&G just got in bad and lost a chunck of his stack.
Tilts
Starts saying a bunch of stuff and throwing shit (PS) at the other players.
7 gets paid, we are down to 9 now.
the guy keeps trying to get his stack back, and keeps harrassing the other players.
short stacks starts to get in the game, he keeps losing and making bad plays.
we are now down to 8, hes the short stack.
He busts out the bubble. Damn, never seen anyone so tilted before.
He stays as an observer for about 5 or 10 min just to say that the players are trash, the site is trash and that the other players should get a job...
Why am I telling this whole story? If you do that, man, you are the joke. Dont embarass yourself. Have fun.
trash talking prob was a thing of the 00s. The game changed. You can now see that the poker community has tools to deal with it and people are actually working on their mental game a lot.
I once blocked these types, but now, I see it as a tell and I will use it against them next time.
trash talkers/harassing are usually tilted/recreational players and you should exploit them.
*btw I am recreational too hehehe (and trying hard not to tilt)
