Poll: Using Chat to Tilt a player is Wrong
Backstory.
Today, I was playing the dregs of 10nl, and I got my money in good against an opponent (straight flush draw against an overpair) My shove was about the size of the pot on the flop and he called, so I was getting obvious overlay.
He goes ballistic, calling me a jerk, and an idiot, and telling me I would lose my money.
I flip out... Now seriously... I'm a nice guy, usually the only thing I ever post is "NH" or I'll chat a little about a really nice play if I see one... but I flat fuckin' flip out.
I made such comments as:
--Does it hurt to be retarded? Do all of your friends make fun of you when they see you in a helmet and a diaper with drool all over your face?
--(he makes a comment about bangin' my mom..) Really? Hey man, if 350lbs, chainsmoking, herpes stations are your thing, go for it... I know retards like you have a hard time gettin' laid.. Good for you man! I mean it.
--(He's taunting me into playing him.. calling me a baby, and a rock) Hey tardboy... if you aren't smart enough to lay a mediocre hand down, I have to let my cards do the talking.. I'll get your RE-BUY soon enough.. these are your chips sitting in front of me.
--Finally he starts to break, he's calling my raises lightly and folding, telling me that I'm retarded for bluffing all the time, and that I don't have the balls to play "real poker" So I shove. but before I shove, I say: You don't have the balls to call me. and I shove. The trick is that I had 99 on the button and flopped a set... he calls. insta call, and mucks 2 overs on a dry board.
-- More taunting ensues, and he's on crazy tilt, 3-betting me with any two cards and shoving the turn no matter what he has, I keep talking crap. He's calling me an idiot and telling me that shoving AI without a pair is terribad play... I stack him with a straight flush draw again, he called me with air...
I realize this is a small brag... but I can't help but feel like taunting was a mistake, or may come back to bite me.
Good? Bad? Indifferent? I lifted 5 buy ins off this guy.
