Do you trash talk back?
Hey
Just a question - when playing on line do you trash talk back?
Last night I was playing a two table $20 buy in
Halfway through tourney - I am mid stacked, and blinds are $150 - $300
Quick replay - I am in the BB - 2 limpers, I check
Flop two pair (6, 4) (rainbow flop)
Check to me - I make a $300 bet, both call
Make a boat on the turn when another 4 comes
UTG bets $500, SB calls, I re raise all in
UTG calls, SB folds, UTG shows pocket rockets
he gets no help on the turn and I cripple him
He then begins to rip on me - calling me a donkey, guys like me are the reason he rarely plays on line anymore, he was hoping $20 buy in gets rid of players like me, what was I doing in the hand anyway
I ended up responding and trying to defend my play - but realized it was a waste of time, and wish I just ignored it
So how do you usually handle - flame back or just ignore

Anyway, I tend to call people muffins and leave it at that.
will 'strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger'Â
If someone starts excessively complaining about suckouts, bad calls, etc, I will type "Phil? Â Is that you?" in reference to Phil Hellmuth. Â That usually shuts them up, as they realize they sound like a baby.
You want this guy to play with you again.
Usually I'll just ignore though.
BTW - my response was that he was a dumbass for not raising with pocket rockets, and then an even dumber ass for not re-raising after the flop
He then continued to flame away, and busted out two hands later

Why do some people seem to think they can act like they are at their own home? It's no different than being at a casino. It is a business, and therefore rules apply. Simple.
Call him an idiot
And say "BIG BLIND SPECIAL"
Then proceed to continueally verbally abusing them about how bad they played that hand.
No matter what they say, they can't tilt me because nothing "I" did was wrong, they let me play the hand, they let me catch up, and THEY bet into ME when I had a MONSTER.
Then ... laugh some more
Sorry guys, I AM a dick online, but only back to idiots such as what was outlined here.
Hey come on now - you don't have to call people names
I believe if a person tells you his hole cards, and than you find out they are exactly that, you can report that to online mgmt (I think?)
If they just keep going all in, lay in wait with a monster hand and call... Â You might be beaten by fluke, but you sometimes gotta draw the line right?
doh..... sorry .......... meant to say phukkers.
LMAO :P
after stating that line about 3 or 4x after each of their whining sentances, usually they are so annoyed or caught off guard that they just never say another word, lol
you guys remember "UPLC" ?
I thought it was "YPLC"
As for a little talk, i like to give the "nh" to a players who hits his crap after he calls raises, hoping he's thinking its sincere and did actually play it right.... Keep calling buddy, and eventually i'll get my cards.
How can it be illegal to say what your hole cards are, while you're still in the hand? I'm just asking, I don't know for sure. Great little trick to play to entice or scare off a call. If i'm holding AA, and want a call, tell'em you got pocket Aces... Though they might only work once..
I don't think it's illegal, more like poor table etiquette....... and really annoying.
Sadly, I've used this on numerous occasions and no one has ever asked me what it meant.
If you are in a tournament, revealing information about your hand is not allowed since it can manipulate the action in a way that could hurt some of your opponents.
Giving away information (even false information) about your hole cards hurts you and helps your active opponents. Players can deduce a lot of things about your hand simply due to the fact that you've said something, no matter what it actually is that you have said. However, the information you put out there may hurt the opponents which are not active. Specifically, your comment may reduce the chances that one or more of the active players gets busted, which (in general) hurts every other player in the tournament.
In most (serious) cash games, discussing hole cards is also discouraged. While the reasons for not allowing discussing or showing hole cards are pretty clear cut in tournaments, it's more open for debate whether these kinds of things should be allowed in cash games. My opinion is that these should not be allowed in a (serious) cash game.
