on line abuse

[mikkyT]

It goes with the territory, methinks. But there are many, many online players who behave impeccably, but they don't grt noticed. The nature of the beast.

So what you are saying to me is, act like a complete tw... arse in Deauville and I'll get noticed?

[Robert HM]

We notice you darling xxx

wow, a wonderful Maiden Post by bolt PP. Another candidate for POTD.

By coincidence, I spent last week on a boat with about 600 predominantly online players, most of whom rarely play Live. The behaviour of some of them was quite atrocious, it seemed to me they transferred their online personna to the live game. It goes with the territory, methinks. But there are many, many online players who behave impeccably, but they don't grt noticed. The nature of the beast.

You mentioned this on Poker 425. Can we hear more on this?

I thought the story of the fella with 53k was terrible. Really gets my goat. Total arrogance.

Apologies if you have already discussed this topic.

I got heaps of "Cruise Stories" to tell, just needed today to do some catching up, will try & post some of them - and Pics - from the Cruise tomorrow.

But the lad - a young, inebriated Scandie with the $53,000, well, I could not stop looking at his stack of plaques. (They used plaques for $500 & $1,000). And he was SO in our faces, "call me if you dare, I am hung like a donkey" kinda thing. When he eventually got tripped up by a guy with QQ, there was a huge ironic cheer from the entire table, we all, I am a little ashamed to say, clapped as Mr Big Stack departed in a huff. Magic moments in poker.

Shame on you!!! Taking advantage of the well endowed scandie.  BTW how did you know he was hung like a donkey?

[Newmanseye]

Yes Mr Kettle, I have just had too many beers tonight.

There was a big cash game every night on the boat, & these kids all came to the table wih 5 figure sums. In daily conversation, it became known as the "big dicks game"......

Dunno how my $500 got described, I shudder to think.

[Newmanseye]

 

I bet you showed them what a tiddler can do though Tikay

[tikay]

It was not hard to win in that game. (Hastily edited, though it seems a little too late....).

[mikkyT]

It was not hard.

[Newmanseye]

I did'nt ask if it was.

[Scottish Dave]

Why is it that the annonimity that accompanies playing online induces the most deplorably reprehensible language and abuse from seemingly the preponderance of players.
insults that are nothing short of egreadious and would provoke substantial reaction if done in the bricks and mortar game are insouciantly conveyed at the drop of a hat precipitated by nothing more than a bad beat.a multitude of players are abusing the system thus, with compunction and impunity.
Are poker players inherintly contemptable and just very good at duplicitously fiegning humility and magnanomy in the real world only to asuage there anger and frustration by imparting the most pernicious inviduous insults when they get home and play online.
should there be a code of practice that precludes such behaviour and admonishes the perpertraitors with exclusion or suspension depending on the extent to which they have transgressed it?
the nefarious and cowardly element who i would propose never act thus offline, in fear of reprisal, should be filtered out so that human decency, prevalent decorum,and a propensity for reverence can flourish over individual site profit!

Spot the english teacher trying to impress!!

This is what you call an advert of an online thesaurus

[mikkyT]

From an advert to online thesauruses to Billy talking about cocks. talk about lowering the tone!
