So I'm in a BankrollMob tourney.... There's some guy from Latvia there playing and calling folks all sorts of rude names....
Comes down to me and him heads up. I get trip sixes on the flop and play out the hand. He keeps calling everything I bet. When it comes to the river I wind up with a 4 to 8 straight and shove... He calls and loses with a pair of 8s....
THEN... he starts in on ME by telling me that I'm a quote..."River Gay" and that he "Raped and KILLED my mother last night"....and "That my sister is next"....
.....wtf...??? Who put this person on this earth....?

I know I've dealt with these ignorant fooks and they're real big mouth's through a keyboard. Wouldn't you pay a $1000 just to sit across from one of these mouths so you could crack them in the face with a beer bottle?
I mean to make a statement say something at times well okay, I can take it, but when some idiot gets on the site a says hateful despicable things it makes me want to hurt them.

When i get to such a table I just disable the chat bubble option. In fact, I sometimes keep it disabled for days. When I win a hand I shouldn't I sometimes guess what people are saying about me and how much I don't care. I'm there to play poker- not to chat with people I don't know and don't care about (unless it's a home game or nice people at the table

Unfortunately the anonymity of internet poker lends itself to losers who say things that they probably never would in person, simply because they are puny and would get their asses kicked into orbit. Rarely do other players get under my skin, but I have reported people in the past as well as simply disabling the chat feature. The worst I ever encountered was so bad that even though the words were directed at another player, I copy/pasted the text of his rants into an email and sent it to the poker site, that's how bad it was.

ahahahah what an idiot. All those who act like that are frustrated idiots that can't play and when they lose they get angry. I got used to them and I ignore them, but sometimes they get me too, so i understand you. Learn to ignore them!
Posted by demodawggy: Sure would dude,...but it wouldn't be a beer bottle...it would be a Texas Mickey bottle...
Lol...have one on my shelf...right in front of me. Haven't figured out how to get it thru the screen yet... Find they were more common in the past...haven't seen one for some time now. Reminds me of one time on Tilt where this person would not shut up ( just happen to be Canadian to boot). Got so bad they put a moderator at the table. Then he shoves on the Button and with 7's...called here with 6's and rivered his butt outta there. Was a Hero for a few minutes Moderator left and all was good

It is good thing when a site has a moderator than you can call up at any time. It shorts things real fast than trying to report something through the email. And the chat ban at least comes in an instant.

Personally,...I really don't let stuff that folks say bother me too much... It's evident that the moron is a loser. I'm just amazed at how much courage folks have when they're hiding somewhere out there in obscurity... It really makes me wonder just what kind of folks there are!
Hey rfd,... I used to have a small collection of about 5 or 6 Texas Mickey bottles, but for the life of me,...I just think of where they got to... That was WAY back in the '80s when me and a few of the local boys all shared a house in Edmonton for a few years. They were a pretty common thing out in Alberta. All the liquor stores had a good variety of brands to choose from.

One of the funniest stories related is that of Curtis Woodhouse, a British boxer that went to the house of a twitter troll to confront him. The guy wasn't so brave in real life...

HA!!! That's HILARIOUS roeish....lol...
Hey,..... get a load of THIS....
So I'm in a Full Tilt/BrM tourney earlier today....about 20 minutes in this guy starts badmouthing me...
It continued for about 1/2 hour at that table until they got switched... So then the guy finds my new table and continues on and on from 'Observer Chat'. That went on and again tables switched.... Yep,...he followed me there too...
So I'm still in the first one,...then the 2nd BrM tourney of the day starts... I eventually get knocked out of the first one (in the money)...
THEN,...he finds me AGAIN in the 2nd one and it's on and on and on... So I decide to email FullTilt Chat Abuse and tell them....
About 20 minutes later I get a reply from FT. Right about that time I see the guy is NO longer there.... I believe they removed him after reviewing his chat logs. He had gotten knocked out the the tourney,....so really,...what reason does he have to follow ME around from table to table to table in 2 different games...?
The weirdo STALKED me for about THREE hours STRAIGHT....
He's a BankrollMob member too,....so don't ever think for a second that just because someone is a member here that they are good people... Most are,...but there's a nut-job or two in EVERY crowd...

Yup, typical Latvians, lol. I`m joking actually, as an Estonian I can`t leave a chance to make fun of a Latvian. But yeah, I know what you mean, these kind of people are really annoying, but usually I just go with it, I just laugh at them and tell them that I feel sorry for them and see how they get even more angry. It`s acutally a lot of fun, lol

What kind of a guy just invest three hours of his life stalking someone he doesn't know on an online poker game? How bored can you be?
I recently thought about what would happen if all of us poker amateurs just stop wasting our time on the online poker tabkes and investing all those lost hours in helping out in our communities - how wonderful it could be. We could literraly change the world. Now this guycomes and shows me that there is an even worse way of spending ones time.
