Chatting Smack Sometimes Works
I have noticed that sometimes accepting a dare or thinking you're going to fix the smartasses ass that's chatting smack, will get a player to donk out.
Just the other night a player kept texting nasty chat to a female player. She finally got insulted and mad enough that she went all in. The first time everyone folded. The second time she got two calls and lost out of the tourney.
After she was gone the same player started in on another player. Calling the other player twinky and making other ugly remarks. He caused that player to make several bad calls, and lose completely out too.
At the end of the tourney I was on the final table. Guess what? There was the rude chatting player, and he was still chatting smack on the final table. I went out 5th and he was still in and going at it.
Maybe being ugly and nasty is a good strategy online. Seems you shouldn't be able to do that without your chat being moderated and you wind up disqualified and/or banned.
Not Enough Points and You Won't Play
If you're sitting around thinking about playing a tourney through PokerOwned, you have to have enough points to register for you tourney in a timely fashion. Don't count on doing a survey and obtaining 90-150 points an hour or two before it's time for the tourney to start. You better get busy doing those surveys about 5 or 6 hours ahead of time or you're gonna wind up short, and therefore can't register and play. Unless of course you want to buy some points or make a loan. Just sayin'.
