Can people stop being rude please?
I like playing on sky not because of the TV, as I rarely watch, or the winning, as thats about level (just under maybe if im honest) over the year but because i like the different games and like to improve as a player for when I play live.
What I dont like however is when you get abuse in the chat box constantly from players who either loose a hand or as is now becoming common, win one.
Having had some good chats or discussions with players on here it is very irritating to be playing while getting a stream of abuse. Ive seen recently some really awful stuff thrown at players in the chat box for not doing very much or playing their cards and its wrong.
Whats more annoying is when you get called an F'ing donk (or any other variation) and went in with the best hand but because you called someone they see it as an afront. God forbid you win or worse they then hit after trying to steal a pot because then you know your for it with allsorts of putdowns. They are all for quoting how rubbish you are or how much of a moron call it was as if they are somehow entitled to your chips by default and being such a great player you should fold to them regardless.
I am always polite on tables even when i lose as I understand this is a game and you are likely to lose sometimes if you make a bad bet or just from luck. So why cant others accept that and just get on with it without the abuse and take some heart in the fact they will get revenge another time.
In short It's My/your money and they are my/your chips and I, as everyone, can play whichever way we like and should not get a stream of grief when we win with it or waste it.
I did complain to sky and report some of the recent stuff which was really offensive at one player but they said they couldnt find it which was suprising as they couldnt find it the last time the player threw a torrent of abuse at a player on a table I was on???????
Just tone it down please and keep this site fun.

Just keep typin in LOL and proper put em on tilt
dont let it affect you after all thats letting them win gl, if your on my table i'll say hello and be polite obviously!
Don't give me that, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings!
Shut your festering gob, you t it! Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, coffee-nosed, maloderous, pervert!!!
Look, I CAME HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT, I'm not going to just sit here and.........
OH, oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse.
copy and paste this response next time it has hilarious effect
(with thanks to monty python)
It may help to understand why, if you could post a typical hand where you have been given abuse, but be sure to blank out the offenders name.

dogstar007 -- your right in everything you say--
this is the worst site for infantile chat abuse--
why ?
because it's british !!
full of wannabees who are never-bee's--
who think they are good--
but cant see outside their own deluded idea --
that anyone else can actually play the game with variations of tactical poker --
don't bother with customer care unless your a 'face' !!
glk -- 99.95% that play here have never played live-- so wouldnt know about manners at the table
some i will try Others im not so sure about but will give it a go as a last resort.
And hopefully I will be allowed to waste my money on any 2 cards I see fit. lol
I would honestly welcome it. Would amuse me.
TBF though, I hate bullies. But how much of a scrawly coward do you think it takes to insult someone that doesn't want it? I've known a few physcos in my day. I doubt they'd head for a poker site to insult some-one? They have bigger issues. It's teenage/ public/school boys that are doing it. Call their bluff. Then pm almost any man on Sky if it goes further. I doubt it will?
However, it can and often does get frustrating, when "any2card Tony" hits the table, plays rags, ignores or does'nt pick up on a players moves and then hits a hand. Of course, a lot it is to do with the level, and is often quite profitable.

I like to say things like "Pleased to meet you, too."
You could try "Sorry for going in with the best hand, it's a failing of mine"
When someone is just plain nasty, I like to say things like "Pleased to meet you too" or "Which charm schoold did you go to, I'll contact them on your behalf to get you a refund"
etc
etc
Or just turn the chat off
Don't let it get to you. People are very tough when they're sitting behind a computer screen

i AM WITH YOU ON THIS ONE. I RECENTLY JOINED SKY AND HAVE BEEN PLAYING THE 2P/4P TABLES AND THE ODD FREEROLE. I HAVE COME UP ON SO MUCH ABUSE ON HERE. FOR INSTANCE I WAS JUST PLAYING THE 10.30PM FREEROLE AND I WAS SHORT ON CHIPS AS THE BLINDS WERE GOING UP ALL THE TIME. I WENT ALL IN TOO TRY TOO ADD TO MY CHIP STACK AND THIS HORRIBLE PLAYER [NO NAMES METIONED] CALLED ME SO MANY NAMES INCLUDING SWEAR WORDS WHICH I THOUGHT WAS TOTALY OUT OF ORDER. I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING. ITS BAD ENOUGH WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING FOR REAL CASH BUT YOU DON'T EXPECT IT IN A FREEROLE 'DO YOU'??? ITS ABOUT TIME SKY POKER PUT A STOP TOO THIS SORT OF THING. YOU SOME ON HERE FOR A GAME OF POKER AND A CHAT 'IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT' YOU DO NOT COME ON HERE FOR ABUSE TOO BE THROWN AT YOU!!! EVEN AS LITTLE AS THE 2P/4P TABLES YOU GET ABUSE. I MUST SAY I AM SHOCKED. WHAT IS IT WITH SOME PEOPLE. MAY BE THEIR MOM NEEDS TOO WASH THEIR MOUTHS OUT WITH SOAP AND TEACH THEM HOW TOO APEAK TOO OTHER PEOPLE LOL... SKY YOU NEED TOO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE IT GETS OUT OF HAND AS IT MAY DO......
