People talking trash at the poker table is so much fun! Yesterday I was playing those $5 triple up SnG's, and there were a few regulars who played one after the other, like me. So I'm playing heads up against this guy at a certain point, we both got around 10BB, he min-raises me, I push with AJs, he calls with AK and I hit the jack. I can imagine his frustration at the moment itself, but he actually kept typing insults in the chat until the window automatically closed. As far as I remember, here's the approximate conversation, lasting 30 seconds.
villain: OMFG f*cking lucker!
villain: u dont deserve the win
hero: standard variance
villain: u just got lucky don't act like you're good
hero: if you can't handle bad beats you probably should quit poker
villain: oh, a smartass
villain: i bet u can only win by suckouts
hero: learn how to spell, noob
villain: motherf*cker
Something else followed, but I didn't bother to read. So I giggle a little and move on to the next SnG. And what do you know, when the game started I noticed villain was at the table again. So the conversation continued:
villain: you again?
hero: hi
hero: missed me?
villain: i wont lose this one
villain: get ready to get your *ss kicked
hero: lol, the same way you did last time?
villain: omg, u stupid lucker
villain: u sucked out and now u think you got skill?
hero: yeah, and you loved it
At this point he raised me, I re-raise, he and the other guy both fold, and I flip over 72o. Mission successful, he tilts. A few hands later I call his re-raise with QQ. He had AT and missed the ace, so I knocked him out. Conversation follows:
villain: for f*ck sake
villain: f*cking idiot
hero: lol, gotcha
villain: STFU MOTHERF*CKER
hero: omg, I can't stop laughing
hero: I bet you loved that, didn't you?
villain: u sad lucker
villain: if i ever see u in rl ill beat ur ass to death
Considering the fact that I spent 8 years of my life practicing martial arts, this threat didn't sound all too convincing.
hero: lol? lucker?
hero: you called with AT
villain: f*ck ur mom
hero: stop, you're hurting my feelings lol
In the meanwhile I found another table where he was playing, and decided to take my chance while he was still on tilt. This guy brought me a total of 4 victories, $15 each.
The moral of the story is: apart from being funny as hell, such players obviously can't handle bad beats and go on tilt fairly quickly. They keep steaming for quite a while, and they clearly indicate it by the endless tirade in the chat window. These people fail to control their emotions at the poker table and therefore make excellent fish. This is why I love talking back to them, trying to get them more and more angry so that they go on tilt.
