So I'm playing some heads up cash last night on Full Tilt and the typical begger comes into the observer chatbox and starts talking to my opponent. She starts the usual crap about having nothing in her bankroll yada yada and is chatting to my opponent as if they know each other. They start discussing what she can do to bring him luck at the table and before I knows it, they are pretty much having the textbook definition of cyber sex in the chatbox.
Now I've seen most of the usual shameless stuff in observer chat before -begging, racism, wishing the death of a player, spamming, straight up abuse - but this was pretty disturbing. They were talking about what they were going to do to each other, what they were doing right now etc etc
The guy was pretty fishy and had been abusive to me previously in the chatbox, so I decided to stick around because I wanted to bust him in front of his 'girlfriend' (Who I suggested was probably a 15 year old boy taking the piss) - it was only a matter of time as how well can you play poker if you are cracking one off at the same time and eventually I flopped quads against his boat.
What is the most messed up thing you've ever seen in a chatbox? I know the begging is a pretty disturbing side of observer chat that should be dealt with, and obviously outright abuse directed at players that are not
Mike Matusow. I've also heard of an instance (I have doubts about the validity of this btw) that someone once used the chatbox to get someone to send an ambulance to his house to save his life.
