table talk

[crzychick]

I would like to know what to do when at the table there is always a jerk. you know the one that goes all in all the time, and uses the worst laungage you have ever herd. when is enough enough. do you mute him, report him or just ignore it. i mean they are calling you every name in the book and telling you they wish cancer and harm to you family. what do you do

Simple....Mute. Also, add the person to your friends list (if possible) that way you can track them in the future and avoid playing with them.

Are you kidding? This person gets added to my friend list for me to hunt them down and make sure I play with them again. Keep them muted, of course, and ignore their behavior; but, you have to love these people. Anyone who tilts that easily and that badly is a gold-mine waiting to give you money for putting up with their abuse.

I don't avoid these people. I go out of my way to find them. If they're playing normal, I might even remind them of how badly I beat them some other time and try and get them tilted again.

As far as the attitude yes, I'd avoid them. As far as their play, that's another matter. The question did not refer to their play, only that their attitude was bad. So, I did not respond in accordance to their play.

A man (or woman) who has lost control of their tongue has lost control of their discipline. When their speech escalates in emotion so will their play. These things are related. I've yet to find a player who is spewing profanity and curses out of his mouth (or keyboard) and isn't spewing chips onto the table as well. Besides, the play itself was mentioned -- specifically of the nature of moving all-in all the time -- and is the sort of weak play that is bound to show a strong profit for a patient player.
