My 2 cents
I personally love the namecallers! They give me something to laugh at (when they are not talking to me) while my butt gets flat sitting online for 4-6 hours. They also distract me from chainsmoking, ( I am constantly scrolling back through the text), overeating, and blind rage when my boyfriend breaks my concentration (asking me if I need a cigarrette or if I want the last donut).
All jokes aside, if everyone went by the "good call rule" then we would not have the joy of busting an idiot who has more money than sense. The "experts" tend to berate others when they get beat. In all actuality, they make themselves targets,very easy to read, (for the wild card players...i.e. the Gus Hanson's of the world...that will play any 2 cards as long as the preflop price is right.
I can't tell you how many times I spotted an AK all-in, that I more than gladly called with my low PP... And got raked over the coals for doing so! I know a guy whose favorite hand was 57...And he would go all-in with it everytime! He won $10,000 on sportsbook just playing ring games. Just imagine how many times he got his butt chewed!
In any case, we all have to remember that everyone plays differently and us veteran online gamers have to set an example for the "newbies". Eventually they get tired of typing insults, as did I...hunting & pecking my way through a tirade that no one was paying attention to...and they give up.
My advice is to mute them or ignore them. Don't let them get you off your game as they are obviously already off theirs. And if you feel yourself going down the temptation path to badmouthville, just remember, the "donk" that busted YOU probably just started playing cards and the luck will run out! Follow him around and steal his ass for a few weeks, that will make you feel a hundred times better than cursing him out!
I personally use the philosophy that any 2 cards are good before the flop and before the bets. I also tell pottymouths that I can't see through the cards and I honestly thought my hand was the best going in..."How was I to know you were playing AA?" That's why it's called gambling......
