Title: Chat Box Warriors
Post by: Rexas on November 10, 2013, 11:25:02 PM
Does anyone know how to obtain the chatbox history on sky poker? Having a very enjoyable conversation with a guy right now that I would love to share with the community, but not sure how to do so...

Nah no history.  If you still have the table open then just enable large chat box and C+P

Just go to "OPTIONS" ( top left of table) and tick "ENLARGE CHAT BOX", then, to remove clutter, select "CHAT ONLY" in the menu at the foot of the enlarged chat box.

Unfortunately I didn't manage to get all of it, some of the better parts came later, but I think the general gist of how the conversation went can be got from here. Basically, he was a big fan of clicking buttons, and of telling people how bad they at basically every show down. So, after this hand (where everybody limps, I complete the small blind with  Qc 9c, he puts in a very small raise and everybody calls. By showdown I chop the pot with a full house with another guy who had  Qh 3h) I decided to intervene.

iamshaun> calling a raise with q3 and q 9 haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
iamshaun> found the donks of the tables
Rexas> #imtheworst
Rexas> well, at least we know your name :p
iamshaun> i dont mind easyer to take your chips
iamshaun> my name is shaun
Rexas> really?
Rexas> i never would have guessed
iamshaun> why would you guess anyway
Rexas> well, normally im too busy calling raises with Q9 to bother
Rexas> but i thought id make an exception this time, since you offered me some helpful advice
iamshaun> would never of guessed
iamshaun> but itold you my name so no need to guess
Rexas> well, if im not going to play those hands, i need to find something else to do
Rexas> thought guessing your name might pass some time
iamshaun> just read my user name
iamshaun> ;)
iamshaun> save you time
Rexas> ahhh
Rexas> another helpful hint from shaun :)
Rexas> hes full of these little nuggets
iamshaun> im full of ints
iamshaun> omg you folded
iamshaun> worst then q 9
Rexas> sorry, I listened to your advice
iamshaun> good girl
Rexas> thank you :)
iamshaun> any time
Rexas> any more hints?
iamshaun> fold aces
Rexas> what should I do with Q9 here?
Rexas> Don't worry, I made the straight :D
(Picked up QQ otb and won a decent pot when the guy folded the turn. Q9 turned the nut straight)
iamshaun> push
Rexas> that always helps
Rexas> you probably should be a little quicker next time though
Rexas> the timebank thing doesn't last long
iamshaun> sorry watching tv
iamshaun> ;)
(here he open limps  Jd 4d, flops a flush draw, turns a flush, goes all in, wins the pot)
Rexas> hmmm
Rexas> so thats how you limp, make a flush and go all in, huh?
Rexas> I'm learning...
Rexas> I assume you would have folded to a raise, before the first three cards were dealt?
iamshaun> nah ceebs
Rexas> ahhh
Rexas> ok...
Rexas> So what was different that time?
iamshaun> better your way
Rexas> ok, just trying to understand why its ok with J4 but not Q9
iamshaun> to beat fish you should play like a fish
Rexas> ahhh ok
Rexas> so i should call raises with Q9 "to beat the fish"?
iamshaun> yeah
iamshaun> dont you know nothing
Rexas> I get it now :)
Rexas> basically, just make the best hand :)
iamshaun> good
iamshaun> no no no
Rexas> ok
Rexas> ....
iamshaun> lol
Rexas> Maybe i dont get it
iamshaun> play everyhand till you wn
Rexas> except when its against you?
iamshaun> no still play
iamshaun> just fold on river
iamshaun> rexas play hands
Rexas> why? You're obviously a genius, its probably a bad idea to play against you?


Just seems like I come across so many of these chat box warriors (I definitely fall into that category sometimes myself, although relatively rarely nowadays). Might change the name of this thread to "Chat box Warriors" and see if we can get people posting their similar chat histories.

Ban plz.

I am struggling to even come up with an analogy to represent how tame this is. If anything you come across worse.

It is akin to a....... I dunno... A church bake sale where the Vicar's wife has commented that the organ player might have used a few too many hundreds and thousands to top her fairy cakes

On a serious note though, I am interested to know how people respond to the abuse/little niggley comments that they get in the chat boxes. Again, as a predominantly live player, I'm used to the occasional comment or two but normally, given the fact that I very rarely shut up at the table, people tend to keep quiet or join in the gentle piss taking that often seems to go on at the table. Anonymity of the internet and all dat, tho. Rumours has it that beaneh is a proper chat box warrior.

To clarify, I wasn't at all annoyed by his comments, just wanted to say hello. I like talking to people, and when someone starts using the chatbox and I see a way to get a little conversation going, I like to take it :)

Agreeing with them whole heartedly has a 100% hit rate for me.  This is live, online and most situations in life.  I remember once I was walking home from work many years ago and total random stranger with a can of Fosters in one hand was obviously looking for some sort of fight so he used his free hand to stop my walking at the chest.  He says to me 'You know you're a C*** right.'  I turned and looked him in the eye, no fear or anger and said 'You're quite right, I'm a complete C***.'  He looked at me perplexed, he was not expecting my reply.  So he just repeated his first statement a couple of times.  I replied each time 'I've already agreed with you, is there anything else.'  He just wandered off mouth agape and utterly confused.

The point is most chatbox warriors have a predetermined idea of how you are going to react, be they intelligent Regs who for some reason find either entertainment or solace in the activity, or they are mono-braincelled individuals who just want to spread their own disharmony.  Give them something they aren't expecting, most do not have the capacity to compute it.

On a side note, I really get annoyed with some Regs who say they only berate other Regs and imply this is ok because it's just Reg on Reg.  The problem I have with this is they are really souring the experience for the recreational player.  Just because you are not berating the Rec or 'tapping the tank' directly as it were, the Recs are much more likely to read the chatbox and think 'I'm not enjoying this because I don't want to be next to get that sort of abuse.'  And less play as a result, which is bad for everyone.  Even if there are no Recs at the table some may be watching.

Cliffs:  Just don't be a douche.

in direct sales there used to be a old maxim that once you give the prospect the price ....so you see mr shagnasty the whole of the front of the house with the gold handles you wanted mrs shagnasty all comes to just 10,255 pounds,great value im sure youl agree.......then you shut the fuck up ,because who ever speaks next loses.....

to put it into poker chat box speak juas type a string of letters at the target such as ...esad...
when it bugs him enouth he will speak and type in ....esad?..

It's sometimes easier to turn it off, had a classic last night - got called all sorts for playing  5s 7s against  Ahrt Ks when the pot was around 1400 I shove all in on the river for 4k get called and knock him out on a 23456 board. He must have had a bad day cos then the abuse came flying at me...the one thing I would like to see on all sites is a tab that tells other players xxxxxx has blocked your chat or xxxxxx has chat turned off.

I would, again, like to point out that although I do still have the occasional blow up, I am completely transparent about this, and they are considerably smaller and much less frequent than they used to be.

Because poker is (supposed to be) a social game. Chat is a big part of the entertainment for some players, especially those 1 or 2 tabling.
