And the one thing i carnt get my head around is the number of players who will give abuse to someone for playing bad !
It really does amaze me when you see them saying stuff like "what you doing calling with q 3 off from the small blind" etc etc etc
The strange thing is aswell that most of the players who i see saying stuff like this are players who i would say were winning players at the game and yet they constantly try to educate and ridicule the non regs saying stuff like " I carnt win against bad players like you" etc etc.
Would it make them happier to be sat at a table with Scotty77, TommyD, Lolufold etc etc all day long ? and if so why arnt they ?
Another good one i see time and again is when a player gets outfloped etc like on 2 occasions i can think of today on 50nl when 2 diferent regs raised up to £1.50 pre and got called only to hit top pair on both occasions verses floped 2 pair from their oponants, then in both hands getting it all in on flop to see the bad news at showdown and then calling their opos worse than !. !. !. !. for calling pre and not even giving any thought to the fact that in both instances they were the ones who played the hand bad because their opos only put £1.50 in the pot with the worst hand where as they put there entire stack in once they were behind
I am loving my first 6 weeks of sky poker but could never have guessed how crazy this game could send some people
Hopefully i wont be going down that same road at anytime lol

Though no matter how many people say don't tap the glass, in myexperience 98% of them don't leave anyway. It's ridiculous all the same as you say.
(I've had a very good coupl of months so I presume you're not talking about me Scotty!?
No mate
Played my first ever hand of poker on 30th march and a thousand badbeats and 6 weeks later still here
As for regs 'tilting' because that's what it is, then fine as you have an edge then but if its rude and/or abusive then SKY must make an example and impose a ban on their chat. Just report them Arazi. I do as i don't want it stopping my enjoyment. i won't allow it to tilt me as i won't give them an advantage but i will and do report it it if i feel its warranted. All the best Arazi. My cah play is poor so you won't be seeing me at your tables but one day, eh?
PS i've just seen that post about playing your first hand in march. Surely not? How have you learned as i need THAT book!!!
Im not saying its a good thing or a bad thing just that i can understand it sometimes. Think of it like road rage if someone cuts you up because of bad driving, some people get really agro and start shouting, some just keep it quiet and think you **** idiot. So its a keep it quiet in your head or blurt it out type of person that you are that this happens too. Phill hellmuth does it tony G does it maybe for the cameras but it does happen and it wont stop cos its an emotional game with money being lost. But fair play if you can hold it in
Anyway, I dont mind any kind of chat. I sometimes like to give people a little bit of a hard time, usually regulars...but mostly I just chat with more recreational players.
Any kind of chat is good for the tables I think. I often see an abusive player get the whole table chatting which is great. More casual players want some kind of table chat.
Its the multitabling nits who are the problem. They not only slow the table down to a crawl, but they also never use the chat box. I was on a table the other day and someoene said "Are you all robots?", I was the only one to reply.
Im constantly seeing people typing ZZZZZZZ in the chat box before they get so bored they leave.
Been on Scottys tables many times when someone says something to him and he never replies.
Prefer to see someone be abusive then never use the chat box. Always makes me laugh.
Feel like missed out a bit as when youre on a table, particularly well structured MTT, it can be good to have a bit of banter.
One of the benefits of online is you can make a play/Q'able call without ever having to look oppo in the eye. But with chat on you just know they are already clicking last hand and going to start spouting some nonsense.
Played my first game on PStars t'other day in about a year. Made a bit of a hero call 1st hand with A high on super polarised board and got nothing but verbal from oppo who had missed everything.
For every 1 pleasant table mate I think there are 100 unpleasant types on international sites tbh, just to tilting to listen to them jabber "Jajajaajajajajajajaj" sigh.
I know
Of course some friendly chat is best.
Just seems crazy to me when i see regs trying to educate players who they rely on for their bread and butter and losing it with them when they lose a pot that is their own fault for losing or also in alot of cases when i see players who have obvi played for years blaming sky for being set up when they lose a hand because why on earth would anyone continue playing here if they thought this was true lol
And in all honesty it wasnt even a dig at these players because anyone is entiled to say what they want aslong as they dont go overboard with the comments.
Just hope i never end up that way by playing a game of poker
