Early in a Point Builder, I am Big Blind

Your hole cards are 2 5
The flop is Q 8 Q
The turn is 5
The river is J
emilysmom has 2 5 and two pair, queens and fives

Game starts, Hold 'em, hand #28161124
Your hole cards are K 3
pokermoe: who the hel-l plays 52
pokermoe: donk
mad1skillz2: the computer
emilysmom: lol
pokermoe, it's your turn
emilysmom: everyone checked
pokermoe: so
The flop is J 8 7
pokermoe: you were the big blind so
emilysmom: so?
The river is J
pokermoe: so you caNT FOLD TRASH
emilysmom: everyone checked it down the whole hand
emilysmom: ???

Now tell me WHY ARE PEOPLE SO RUDE....and why do they make comments before they know what they are talking about? I could not decide if this person was just rude, or they realized how dumb it looked so they had to continue berating me. Which, by the way, they continued to do. So I thought I would post this blog so he and everyone else could reflect on his etiquette.....

sat next to pokermoe for some of the latter stages of last week's 5k and he kept throwing out insults, fu, bs, donk, etc to much of the table. He was way out of line. Like there are that many bad players in the final 150 or so in a 5K. Not sure why SC can't do anything to censor that type of stuff or warn people. So you are not alone..don't sweat it.

My grandmother used to say,"children are little savages that must be tamed to live in civilization." Some kids don't make the cut.

I am in full agreement and can only add that it is verbal abuse...
plain and simple. I have coined it "Chat Abuse". If they were sitting live with all of the people on line at the table, I don't believe
it would happen at all...not out loud anyway.
STOP CHAT ABUSE PLEASE!! It's not nice. ''- Kakes

Em, I agree about the rude thing. When some people get beat it just comes out. I have let it slip a couple times but i usually try to apologize.

I hear ya all. I just had someone going on and on with the "misspelled" swearing. I just kept typing "lol" or putting up the big smile face. It just got him going more...and it kept me laughing out loud for real. It was hilarious.
Cheers,

I had someone ragging on me last night for playing rags in the BB but instead of spouting off at him, I told him I was really Gus Hansen so it was okay..... LOL! He laughed and we started chatting so it was all good. I either ignore them or try to get them to laugh depending on my mood.

People seem to forget this is a game. The hatred shown by some people is a microcosim of their own life. they are not happy people. Let it go.
BTW...those rags win the big pots! GL
