Just ignore it. If they go too far they will probably be disciplined someday. Just take pleasure in knowing that they are no good at the game.

I should ignore it, but I can't always do it.

Insultsin the game, you respond or ignore

Hello.
When a site has gives the player the ability to "table talk" usually have a way to mute players, so they do not bother you. Check it out. Try not let ugliness throw your game.

Ignoring is a good way to diffuse the situation, but I find Sarcasm a more useful tool to attempt to alter the behaviour.
Also, in the event that its a bully, as is nearly always the rule, since a bully is usually a dummy, any challenge to his intelligence will tilt him and allow manipulation.

I try ,as much as I can to ignore him , but if he is persistent in his verbal attacks ,I will reply ,in general by asking him if he is 10 years old anf his parents know he is here. Usually that works and he settles down

I completely ignore this type of player, I think that there should be punishment for this type of player.


I do the same as you. I ignore the insults.

I think you should take advantage of that opponent state... To push him over the edge..

The advantage of playing online is that you can deactivate the chat, so that you only focus on your game

I try to ignore. Sometimes they write very offensively, especially when the opponent loses. But it's easier for me than for you, I don't know English, I use Google translator, so I'm calmer. And, advice to you: do not pay attention, there are many stupid people in the world. Take care of your nerves, you need them to play. You will start to get nervous, you will lose.

I almost always ignore and do not try to answer, but there are exceptions, and mostly focused on the game. As a last resort, I turn off the chat.

I try to ignore them. I have seen that there are many who insult. I don't understand that strategy. Please play and let play. I have even seen a member of CC, with several years in this forum from what I could see later, insulting people because of their nationality and putting everyone badly on the daily freeroll table. Regrettable.

Villains and their lines

Good morning everyone, I have been playing poker since the end of 2018, I usually play on average 8 hours a day, until today I have not met a player who has passed the limes, I have been doing many times with donk, fish, idiot and others, I I think it is very funny, I do not use to caheteiar, the villains and their lines do not bother me what makes me angry is some absurd results, more part of poker.

If some villain decides to pour out his grievances on nature on you, this should definitely be used. The more he is distracted by his meaningless remarks to you, the better for you ;)

I really don't care if a player is being a d!ck and trying to instigate foul banter. Although, when they lose and berate other players for besting them I will, sometimes, mess w/them and put them on tilt to take them out or scam some chips. it's funny when that happens

It makes me laugh if a player's emotions are running high, they have no place in poker.

depends on my mood and how many games I am in at the time. But if I do notice it I make a note of it and to what level - trash talker looking for info or trash talker looking to insult and be offensive.

The only thing I really try to change in my own behavior is taking some extra joy when I can take chips from the person. Otherwise, I try to keep to the math and recognize it as a mistake on my part if I get emotionally invested in whatever drama they are trying to incite.

I usually ignore it. Best not feed the trolls. But if it's on a Cardschat game and is really disgusting, I will take a screenshot and report it to the mods.

Most of the time I have the stats of the game showing not the chat so I don't see what they are saying most of the time but sometimes if something juicy happens I'll flick over to see if anyone had something to say about it.

Mostly i ignore it. If it gets extremly rude i report them.
And sometimes i reply to drive them even further into tilt mode...
They get mad and focus only on winning chips from me and make
very costly mistakes then...

Usually I don't even look at the chat while playing, but if I happen to look and an insult occurs, I totally ignore it and agree that there should be some punishment for insulting players.
