Have You Ever Tilted Because Of Insults On Chatbox?

[poker_bro]

This happened to me once. Two players in the same table chatted, and they started to call me stupid and fish etc. I started to get a little bit angry and I tried to destroy them, of course, only I destroyed was myself and I lost my stack, goddammit.

I love the psychological side of this game, so I think is there any "pro-tilters" in this forum who could share their tips on how to make players tilt? That would be a fun skill to learn, haha. I have some experience to tilt some loose-aggressive players by trapping them with my premium cards, but I have not found any content about how to do that through the chatbox.

No. I generally am happy with my game and if the chat is not amenable, I turn close it. It never helps to get frustrated when you are trying to win a tourney.

Verbal attacks towards other players online is not a suitable approach in this game.

You have no way of knowing if your opponent even has his chat turned on so you might be wasting your breath, and the use of abusive language could lead to banning you from the games.

Only thing that tilts me nowdays is a situation where I know that I could have played better.

 

[ravhin]

I never have tilted though I just usually ignore any messages sent my way when playing

 

[dallam]

Did they deserve to pay attiention to them? Of course, they didn't. I think there's no one, who did not try to behave like you in this situation. But as we play more and more, it will be easier to handle these situations. And because of your words, I do think that you are so good at it and it was just a one-time mistake.
My last time when I was bullied I did not paid attention to him, and it was even more frustrating cause he did reach a great position. The fun fact was I reached a better one.
One person called me 'Eurovisiondonk' from here. I am sure it was just pure emoition, and he would not do this again, but it hurted me (my ps name is EurovisionHu that's where the word-game from).
I was fish, shark etc. even sometimes at low-stackes they are ruder and try to involve family. I did not turn them off from chat, cause they are free to write anything, maybe next time they 'll not do this, who knows.

Anyway, nice to see you at this forum, it's not a huge community, but as big as you can make friends and nice memories. Good luck at the tables, see U.

I don't turn chatbox off, it is a great way to get tells, and give away wrong tells. As Doyle Bronson said, poker is not a game, it is a war, and I use every possible weapon that is available

 

[linaxmama]

normally I don't care and if someone is playing and hassle I just ignore

 

[azforlife]

Sorry but I don't understand the intent behind the question?
Just turn your chat box off, or do you want to delve into the roots of your trigger?

 

[ga25x]

Usually it goes like this:
1. Some donkey badbeats me
2. I insult him in the chat
3. He get's tilted
4. He call my next shove with junk...
5. He bad beats me again
6. I insult him in the chat again

 

[tagece]

I don't mind with this never. First, because I don't who is this person, and he doesn't know who I am. So, why feel offended for someone who is just a name in the screen. Second, because every time it happened to me, it was after I won a large amount of chips of the moron. It's always the same. You are a bad player, an idiot, you just had luck, etc. He is already in tilt, it's not my problem.

 

[carlosnuno]

I really turn off chat and focus on concentrating on the game. I can't give any chance distracting myself with talk nonsense

 

[digdug0037]

usually you can turn your chat off and not ever have to worry about it.Check your settings on whatever site you play I bet there is that option.

 

[Roger1960]

If someone in chat is really abusive I will turn it off or block them. I have been followed around before and they would talk junk in chat whatever table I was playing. Weird.
It did however help me win 400.00 on Omaha Hi/Lo cash table, the table was ganging up on me talking junk. They thought they had me how I played my hands. Just because you saw I had only low one time, doesn't mean I only go for low. lol

 

[mclaughlinph]

It doesnt tilt me but it lets me know they are tilting and then I keep a close eye on them and hope for a nut hand were I can get it all in on them.

 

[Airles17]

poker is a combination of many things and psychological control.
You need to learn to control your psychological to know how to deal with these situations

 

[MAGICUZ]

Those people who insult me, I just laugh at them,I'm just sorry for such people that's all.You can always turn off the chat of a player!Then you can focus on the game and save your chips at least temporarily)

 

[acemenow]

To be honest Yes, only because I am a moron :icon_scra and allowed someone else's words to effect me. There is no logic behind this only emotion. So pretty dumb really. Especially for a game based on Math.

Never really bothered me live so not sure wtf is up with that - Also depends on the kind of day I have had. generally I hide chat now simply because I play too many tables at a time to bother with it.

Only time I see it is on sites like chico network or PS that pop up a comment. Allows me to recognize when someone is being a child online otherwise I don't pay attention till I am down to a single table. In the past I would engage with people that were being abusive now I just shrug and play my game.

I also remember back in '05 or maybe '06 some online player (no idea what his name is or if he is doing well now or not) won a satty online to a live game. He won that live game, netting close to 80k. Interviewer asked him what advice would you give someone who wants to get good at poker online? What I remember from his answer was "Ignore chat".

Should have listened to that all these years lol but again I am a little hard headed as indicated above:banghead:

Most sites I have been on give you a option to turn chat off, If I am in a real serious turney I usually have chat off, players always talk shit and insult on chat, I myself have blasted people on chat and I am quite good at it. If you are not ready to box stay out of the ring.

Hello poker pro, it gives me the same, I remember once I was playing the old intellipoker league, this time I was in the first places, and the competition was strong with the other first places.

In the last few weeks, some friends of my other rivals began to annoy me for the chat, the smartest thing was to block the chat, if that affects you.
But it doesn't affect me at all, I just kept playing, and what they wrote in the chat made me laugh, they told me things like fish, donk, you don't know how to play, you're just lucky, etc, in that league I ended up in the 4 place.

gl mate.

Who pay attention in chat box????
Man, don't waste your time trying to do that. Pay attention on the table, get tells about the others players and make your moves...

Agree here if take a screenshot of the personal insults and send it to the poker support team if you are offended then that player can lose the chat facility or have their account closed and be banned from the site depending on the circumstances involved.
Too many people get penalties and opportunities lost due to being rude and personal verbal attacks when it is not necessary.

 

[MMaki1981]

My style of play seems to piss a lot of people off and there is always at least one person in chat that needs to shit talk and it doesn't make me tilt at all. In fact, I find I play better when someone is insulting me in chat.

No, I don't ever let people's chats affect my game. Furthermore, I will call out people who criticize others play on chat.
You'll have to pay me royalties, but my patented anti tilt method is to join a freeroll and go all in every hand. That way, I can avoid risk and possibly irritate people by playing like a donk. Feel free to use it but u gotta pay me
