So I sign up for Full Tilt with the screenname "Racist88"...

I was curious to see if I would get more action when people went out of their way to bust me. The name would have to offend the easily offendable without blatantly violating the terms of the site. I decided to implement my plan at Full Tilt because I heard that players there were extremely tight.

I think you are a moron for trying this. Its idiots like you that make online poker more frustrating than is already is. If you're goal was to offend people in a cheap way to make a few more dollars than you deserve everything you got. I have been an victim of online [censored] such as racism, [censored] talking, and players purposely playing slow in HU matches. You are probably not racist or even a bad person at heart, but i think this was an immature act and glad to hear the outcome of your story.

I'm not so sure. It looks bad for a site to have players on there with offensive names. I bet there is T&C clause that states they reserve the right to suspend transactions whilst they investigate such matters or until they are resolved.

Funny, but stupid idea.

nothing big. i was playing 20 or 30 HU matches on UB. and my screename is that of an asian player. So deragatory statements were made about my eyes being small and other statements that were made to put me on tilt. It actually worked, and he won match 1, but i stuck it out and beat him the second match and quit on him and told him its not worth my time playing with a racist. Ive also had a player in a HU match tell me he/she was gonna play slow and had all day, and took 15 seconds for every move. It got to a point i wanted to shove with ak or any hand just to end the match.

i blame all this on phil hellmuth being ub's poster boy

Edit: 20 or 30 matches as in $20 or $30

So you are actually not only justifying being racist and insulting people but you are also blaming people who got offended?

Bad behavior should neever be tollerated, online or live.

[Luisgallo]

that has nothing to do with racism!
I am italian, proud to be Italian.
I am white but not feeling particularly proud of being white!

I understand this isn’t the point of your thread. But, I think it would be interesting to see if they allow you to deposit money into your account.

FWIW, I played some hands against you on FTP and noticed your screenname. I thought it was rude, not really offensive, but I didn't feel like getting into a chat argument about it. I don't think I went out of my way to play hands against you over it. We did play some hands though and you weren't very happy with me. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

interesting request...

For a while I've been thinking about signing up for a poker site with a screenname designed to offend people.

For a few seconds I've been thinking of flaming a poster who asked not to be flamed. Just as an experiment to see if posters who ask not to be flamed are really thin skinned frightened smelly weasels who are terrified of unfriendly characters on the screen.

[ QUOTE ]
My experiment was a failure.

I guess I won't flame you since you've made me smile.
