Hi xpok3rkingx, I don´t know if the names have a sophisticate interpretation, but I understand for them the direct message. A donkey is a player that are making stupid moves, and don´t learn about his oponent. A sheep is a coward or seems like that, and throw his card with any bluf. Don´t you think it?

for such as you have a simple solution ... disconnect the chat .... and all .... I have the most chats off to avoid distraction ... sometimes I turn on the chat when I want something to say .... but usually I play without it .... sometimes insults in a chat somebody writes

I believe you already know the answer on this one. If you dont just a quick google search, will give you all the info. Dont get intimidated by the chat though. Never a good thing. And no matter what, do not participate, in chats with such comments. Just let it be

Well, I have to tell you that sometimes I answered these bad words and put into play the villain's ability to alter the other's game. If I propose, I am terribly insidious and generally I got to be the last to hold the fight. In general I don´t look for it and if someone start to be annoying, I disconnect the chat. 888poker is good for it

I thought in the sheep (I don´t look for in google yet, Mober) and maybe that I could be called in that way, if I follow a path that the villain propose without noticing that he was shutting me up before destroy my playing. A sheep is docile and they do not do anything to save themselves of their depredators...What do you think?

Don’t ya just love the world of poker, which is dominated by a group of animal characters that we all recognise and love for their respective traits. I particularly love it when the shark is circling the sheep only to be eaten by the donkey, who makes the wrong move at the right time and beats the shark and gets the sheeps stack for a bonus!

Yes it´s true! the bigest moment in the poker, these moment that you always remember is when a bad beat apear in the table. If AA arrive in the showdown and break the hopes of a AK or QQ, is only release of accumulated tension. But a bad beat is ever surprise and laughter...if it didn´t happen to you!!
