I don't pay attention to whatever they say in the chat while I play , so I don't care about insults , at least nowadays .

I understand that insults are different from provocations. Insults offend the player's honor and aim to harm his personality. Provocations, on the other hand, aim to distract the opponent so that his game loses focus. Insults must be punished. Provocations must be handled wisely, calmly and patiently.

It's proof that you're a good player. I think it's best to just ignore it

Conversations during the game get in the way. I turned off that option

I personally am not for it, but some people do really enjoy it. So, to each their own I guess.

Personally, I understand that people tend to insult after a bad streak, but it is also wise to be able to control your emotions and manage them properly.

That reminded me something. It once happened to me one player who lost a stack to me tried to insult me as much as he could, swearing, calling me names, suggesting vulgar sexual activities, etc. I didn't care much, but it was not normal. I checked if I can report him, couldn't find such option, so just ignored it, focusing on playing.

Usually in any multiplayer Internet games you can report such behaviors. I do not know any other poker rooms but in GG I do not find such thing.

"Good morning, everyone! I really love telling jokes—it always makes me happy. I don’t mind insults in the chat, either. Feel free to throw tomatoes or make faces at me!"

Lack of respect at the tables, should be like in all sports, treated with punishments! Players play by putting their strategies into practice, whether good or bad, they should not be challenged. Respect should always prevail between players! x_x

Y Being insulted is very common in poker games, and even more so when you're winning. My recommendation is to ignore it and focus more on the game!

I try to ignore it. But a few months ago I had someone insulting my every move and calling me by my User Name.
It got to the point where I couldn't ignore him. I was on a winning streak. I was losing my focus. I had to sit out.
I think that some poker players used to playing in casinos, don't understand that online poker is different.
It's a computer program.

I'm not watching the chat. I'm only looking at cards.
If you're a decent adult, you shouldn't send insulting messages in chat. It's probably a kid. You don't need to get involved with them.

Calling names and slinging insults is childish. Some players use it to get u der your skin, I just ignore them.

I ignore them and mark them down as a recreational player as a good player doesn't do things like that

Don't pay attention to the chat, they do it to deconcentrate or want to play with your head, the best thing I do is not see the chat and only play each hand one at a time
