Hey guys. Been here a while and have done a lot in the rigged thread. But this goal is going to be different than the goal most people have set. It's not going to be a goal about how many hands I want to play, about how much money I want to make, or about how many hours I want to play. This goal is going to be strictly about me not berating bad players online when they suck out with bad hands. How exactly this is going to go, I'm not sure. But I want to post some updates each day, because I played pretty much every day with the goal of not berating any bad players. Any suggestions would definitely help as I have had issues with this over the years. The weird part is when I play live I never do it because I can see the actual human space and I have some type of empathy for them when I look at them, I say look at this guy he's fumbling for his glasses, he misreads his cards, how can you get mad at a guy like that? But when you're online you can't see anybody so it's just easier for me to go well this guy just made an idiot play and got lucky. So the goal is to not do that. I understand one method would be to completely shut the chat off. But the goal here is to keep the chat on and not to rate them. So I would have to think up some type of penalty for myself if I do the rate one of the bad players, so if any of you's have any thoughts let me know

in life when I want to berate somebody for being stupid I just will think about how dumb they are....instead of typing comment in chat box maybe just visualize it ...penalty could be writing "I will not berate bad poker play" 100 times in a notebook and posting a pic for the goal


Honestly for me this feels super simple and also super standard.

Ask yourself this question

1) Do you like making money playing online poker regardless of the format? Of course the answer will be yes...

Once you answer yes to this question, why on earth would you actually want to berate and insult the exact competition which makes online poker profitable?

Poker is a game of %, of course every now and then a bad play will get there, a recreational player will take a big pot etc... However, the last thing you want to do is chat rage them and risk them never playing again.
