Insult in the game

In my opinion we as poker players need to avoid anything that distracts us from the game. Those distractions could be internal and external. External include noice coming from the street, incoming messages, music in headphones, TV and etc. There is also internal distractions that could divert us within the table. I consider that any harmless conversation at the poker table makes player inattentive, thus we start to play worse. Even more so, responding to insult in the game not only makes no sense but has a negative impact on quality of the decision that we make, that will cost us money in the long run. Solution is to turn off the chat and play poker!

No need to give in to provocations, this weakens the game by itself, I know, sometimes I can’t restrain myself and answer and the game deteriorates right away

I always ignore and rarely chat much with people I don't know at the table. Cardschat league is different I'm more social there but the game is different I'm playing with the same players every week so its basically like a home game. I usually just ignore someone who insults me in an online poker game because I figure they're about to go on tilt and I can take advantage of them.

 

[KITAYAWA]

Yes, of course, you must ignore the players insulting you, because these provocations interfere with the game

 

[Pokerpoet2]

Insult's are used, purely to put you on "tilt" they hope to upset you and get under your skin, so that you make mistakes, but I just ignore them and get on with playing the game, there is nothing better than taking a bully out of the game, and insults and fowl language are just a sign of a low intelligence.
They cannot think of anything intelligent to say so they resort to insulting other players, I am lucky in that I am a big guy, and people usually think twice before they upset me in a Live game so I rarely come across things like this, On-line however they feel safe, sat at home smashing the insults out on the keyboard, but in reality they are just big Coward's and Loser's.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

 

[KITAYAWA]

I try to ignore the provocations of other players, but I don't always succeed.

 

[donfreeman]

Generally, i close the close the chat box

 

[WrongUsername]

i don´t read chat and don´t care opinion from others.

 

[jj6m]

chuckle to myself and move on

 

[StressMit]

I ignore such incidents because it's not face to face.

 

[Lupus]

If it is online i laugh and then mute them. Love that feature. I also mute the whiners or anyone spewing hate.
Not sure how i would handle it in live play

Recently I was playing a Platinum freeroll from Cards Chat and a guy got so frustrated that he started insulting everyone for every hand he lost, including Nazi chants and homophobic stuff, I was able to find his profile here and with print screens I reported it, fortunately with the good mods we have they done something about, but just ignore it if there is nothing you can do...

 

[effece]

I totally ignore them. it is known that many players use insults to tilt others when they are affected

 

[Pablo22]

I usually ignore but if I respond it is with dry humor

 

[CryptoBlood]

I dont aswer but I know to use emoji to troll guy which is insulting me if there is option in poker to use emoji for trolling or sometimes when I am really tired in late hours I just ignore him and I play normal like I was playing before because answering to him is really waste of time for me.

 

[Leeyonah96]

I just ignore them, they just wasting my time

 

[ScoobyNL]

I ignore them but when they go to far i will give a proper answer.

 

[riff_raff312]

To respond would be fueling the fire and nobody wants to talk to an idiot anyway,it's only a game

[Gutshot Gus]

I ignore them and wait until they get knocked out. Usually they are focused on the chat and not the game. When they get knocked out I simply type "I'm gonna miss him".

 

[oarroyo]

I ignore it but reported it and await its removal

 

[deputat]

When I begin to play I block all my players the possibility to write and never let somebody to insult somebody or even me

 

[Nik990]

Usually during the game I rarely look at the chat, but if I suddenly notice an insult, I don’t pay attention, because a person writes and talks about insults not from a great mind, they write their emotions for him, and emotions in poker can ruin a lot)

 

[IllDaShystee]

I used to love to engage/troll people. Now I observe.
