spartasc is the best for fun at the table (esp fridays when he drunk) not a bad bone in im but need to know him to understand his chat btw his keyboard is usually broken (spills a lot ) Posted by CATCH-22
Yes totally harmless, this was 8:30 in the morning too.
Also, when he mentioned smelly feet, I knew someone on another site that ranted about smelly feet, I wonder if they are the same.
This evening might top the worst chat i've witnessed on a final table.
Player 1 limps in early position, and player 2 a short stack rightfully shoves with AJ. The initial raiser writes in chatbox "HMMMMMMMMMM"...before calling with Aces.
So player 2 (who was very friendly and jovial thoughout) rightfully feels offended and writes something like "Theres no need for that mate, just call with aces before writing hmmmm".
Player 2's reasoning was "He had busted 3 times this evening with aces..."
I didnt say anything until I get aces myself and lose an allin. He then says something like " those damn aces eh *winky face".
In the heat of the moment I couldnt stop myself replying " Yeah I should have been a *c-u-next tuesday about it and wrote hmmm first in the chat box".

Don't you just loathe these despicable, mean-spirited sorts? If it were done to them, they'd squeal like a pig.
More generally, when it is on someone to act, it can grate a little when they decide to type some chat first.
I ran into a thoroughly nasty piece of work on the NLH tables yesterday who had a new version of a slowroll. I was a bit short of chips & had jammed with not much, & he (male with a female alias) types "GL TK, I have Kings". He then let the clock time down to the very last second before calling with his Kings.
I guess this is how these pathetic little people get their kicks.
On Saturday evening, & as many of those who shared tables with me will have noticed, I was trolled the whole evening by one player. Never played, just trolled. On a Saturday evening.
Good player - got a spinning Sharky gold star & everything (based on "count" a few years ago) - but has barely played here since October, apart from a few games last Thursday.
I've never shared tables with him, met him, or had any sort of bad blood. He used to troll the PLO8 Tables generally from time to time, but not of late.
It was not deeply offensive stuff, just trolling. "Who has hacked tikay1's account, he is multi-tabling & he can't multi-table?".
And he followed me, with the same message, from table to table.
And here's the thing which most interested me. What a way to spend Saturday evening - spend the whole evening trolling players in the chat box. Never played a single game - has not played since last Thursday - but all Saturday night was spent trolling.
How sad is that?
I was tempted to suggest he go read a good book, or watch Crackerjack on TV, but I make a rule never to respond to these trolls.
Crackerjack might just of been the best children's TV ever except maybee the banana splits SIZE OF AN ELEPHANT and can anybody remember the magic words in the Arabian nights ��

I had one a couple of weeks back that I was truely shocked at. I usually ignore the abuse or abusers unless I can think of a witty remark even then it's rare that I will reply (at my age (60) I have all on just concentrating on the game - without being sidetracked with 'banter' But this horrible man was using racial abuse at anyone with a certain avitar. It was continuous and nasty for about an hour. Anyone telling him to shut up and such was obviously attacked as well. I am not one for 'snitching' and the abuse was not at me but after the game I reported him. You are told when you report things like this that you will not be informed of the outcome But I see (by doing player search) he is still here. Posted by Goody_Ace
I think the usual approach is a chat-ban rather than having their account closed.
AndyMitch, Thanks for mentioning that matter. I've had to remove it from the Forum - not nice reading, is it? - but I've sent it directly to the right man in Leeds to do as he sees fit. Posted by Tikay10

I hate (and this is a word i loathe to use) any type of abuse on the tables. Banter between the regs fine but sometimes even that can go a bit too far lol Bit down and out racial slurs and horrible stuff I wont stand for. Good job I wasnt on the rail thats all I can say.
Got called a ''dire regular'' tonight, which is obviously rather truthful, but by a guy who has scammed people in the past. As tempting as it was, I didn't mention said players previous indiscretions to the rest of the table Posted by hhyftrftdr

Sad, isn't it?
Do I win a Crackerjack pen & pencil set?
