Default Re: Help me learn to stop berating fish

I've never had this problem, so I don't know how much this will help, but I often type 'nh' or 'g1' after taking a beat. I want to encourage this bad play and making some comment helps me stay in the game. If I'm a little hot I go with 'i suck at poker'. I don't know why but saying 'i suck at poker' after taking a horrendous beat just lightens my heart like you wouldn't believe.

You just have to love it when a guy calls with 5 outs getting 2 to 1, blah, blah, blah...

Good luck.

On almost every site there is a way to turn the chat on whenever you want, hence it's a useless solution.

Just mail the support and have them BLOCK your chat, that's what I did. Very plus Ev.

When your chat is blocked, you can still see others' comments, right?

If you choose too.

At first you might feel annoyed since you can't reply, but after a while, you adapt and accept it, and find peace.

Ok...you try chatting, playing a good game, and multi tabling at once.

I'd like to focus on my hourly rate when I play, not on small talk with various random people from all over the world.

And not beeing able to respond will keep you out of a lot of discussions that will piss you off even more (or just keep you less focused on the game), which WILL happen when you have the kind of problem that OP has, a fish berating problem.

I definetelity think OP should try.
