Online poker-turning the screw?

    Im trying to get an idea of the actions people take online to increace the action and profitability.

    Is there anything you can say in a chatbox that drives people crazy? Is there anyway to type away at a player and make him play worse as a result? What about people who moan and groan in chat boxes with sentances like "how can you call with that?" "stupid fish" etc. Is there any comments you can make in order to drive them over the edge and help your cause?

    What about showing cards. Is there any hard and fast rules regarding this? I know the best policy is to give away as little as possible but showing bluffs is part of the game surely? If an opponent is on a tilting road is it now time to show some bluffs and hamper his game significantly?

    Toughts please on turning the screw...

    if someone bad beats you or pisses you off, type in the chatbox that you hope they catch aids and die

    this is worrying what happened to lesson one "don't bring your emotions to the table" but I might add if the beat is a one or two outer you could maybe track the person down and slaughter them and there family.

    theres a top STT player on crypto who basically uses an abusive tactic's like you mentioned. I've seen the guy abusing 10+ tables at once "ship it retard" was a fav of his when he put a beat on someone.

    If someone is really getting to me I type NH when the win a pot and if they ty I tell them i was calling them a nobhead

    Only maybe? And why wait for a one or two outer, if you do it the first time you lose a coinflip, they won't be around any more to put a one or two-outer bad beat on you. Being proactive = more moneys.

    I haven't played STT's in a good while but my tactic was always to abuse every single player at the table just as the tournament was beginning and then turn chat off or completely ignore all comments from there on in.

    Doesn't sound very funny but it is right.

    After losing coin flip/bad beat/big pot and you get decent hand straight away. get on the chat and moan like fcuk t represent tilt and then ship. obvious but works nearly every time...ppl calling with ace crap, k10, qj etc.

    applicable to lower level stt's up to $20

    that particular guy on crypto is seriously entertaining to observe! ive never seen a guy tilt 12 tables at once till i met him lol!

    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    yeah, occasionally I play stts when i'm on super monkey tilt, play like a donk and abuse everyone in the chatbox, my results have been surprisingly good!

    I don't think there's ever really a need to be a cnut in the chat, if you have enough time to do this you should play another table instead.

    did anyone ever play against ActionJackson on Ladbrokes years ago. He was the most obnoxious pr1k I ever came aross. He is one of very few players who have tilted me online.

    When I'm in the humour for it I love winding up Americans on FT and PS
    I generally start by saying something like Fcukin Americans
    They always get fiercely defensive. They all seem to have the same lines in rhetoric about how they saved Europe's ass etc. I tell them that I am from Iran and thanks very much for winning Iraq for us. Thanks for ridding us of Saddam and letting us build our nukes. And how its a pity that they are not free to play poker online like we are in Iran
    Then just keep prodding until I get a big hand and they'll all call :D

    Childish but fun:o

    I really enjoyed a tournament where one player typed " loser " in the chat when a player was knocked out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,969 ✭✭✭buck65


    that was me!!
    had to laugh yesterday when a guy went all in with AKo and won the pot against a pair of 10s , the pair of 10s called him a donk?! I remarked that it was a standard play and the guy abused me from there on (micro limits!!!)
