No one likes losing and those people who say "Its not the winning, its the tacking part" have no real joy in their lives. In my oppinion unless my heart is trying to beat itself out of my chest and my hands are all sweaty and my mouth is dry when I push all in then this is not the game for me. Maybe those otheres should play something less competative, such as snap or happy families.

In my early poker days, as I imagine many of you would do, I played any ace like it was unbeatable and would go all in on the turn with a flush draw, having any pair was fantastic and hitting trips made me so excited Im sure I gave away teels through the mouse.

On the occasion that that one of these miricle hands hit I would often get beratted "you fish" or "How can you call with that crap" and the occasional "I hope you die shit head", although this is a little strong the abuse can sometimes be worse and more provokative. On one occasion when hitting an inside straight draw after calling an all in my oppo wished me well by hopping I would die from cancer, I was playing in a $1.25 game on FTP. I have had some excellnt arguments, which, on the whole I now find laughable, but back then it would stick me on tilt, lose my concerntration, miss hands because I was typing and genearaly end up out of the tourney.

Just the other day I was heads up on the final table and was dealt KQs and my oppo had pushed all in for about 112K, I had him covered by about 90K and thught, lets have a race, He showed TKo, I thought OK, I have a shout. I spiked a queen and won the pot knocking him out. I gg'd him as he had played well untill I was put on his table and took his chips (I had 11K when I sat next to him) and his passing comments where "F*@KING RETARD", nice.

So, how do we deal with these people who are as aggressive with their words as they are with their cards?

What is the best practice?

Should we report these numpties for their abuse?

Our should we just sit knowing we bested the idiot?

How do you deal with these types of player? Are you the type of player who rants when you have bad beats? Do you hit tilt like a falling log ont a sidewalk?

Thanks
