So I became extrememly annoyed last night in a $10+$1 one table SNG. After a fairly long tourney, I knock out the third player after he lets me stick around and get two pair on the turn. We start out even in chips and I fairly quickly build a 2:1 advantage. Then he types, "I've gotta get going." And moves all-in after I call at 100/200.

He then folds the next hand into my AK.

I type, "I thought you had to go."
He says, "Those cards were unplayable."
He then proceeds to either go all-in or fold. I keep folding to his all-ins.

He starts "telling" me what he's folding. "34" "Q 9" etc.
I type, "Don't tell me; show me."

I got really pissed about this. First he says he has to go, but no, it does;t seem so because he being selective with his hands. Second, he starts representing what his hands are, but who cares what he says? If I don;t call on the river, I'm always BSing what hand I had.

What do guy think? if some one says they have to go and need to hurry, I think they should be going all-in every hand, not selectively. I certainly think it poor form to call out your hand. Am I just steaming since he pulled off not 1, not 2 but 3 bad beats on me to stay alive and then cripple me?

In my experience there is NO online poker etiquette... There are exceptions to this rule but for the most part most are rude and beligerent (sp?). One of the things that I hate about playing online...

I've had this happen with about 6 players left and every time the person went all in they had top 20% to 25% hands and won. Then when he chipped up, he stuck around to get ITM.
Ditto to Aces Full - there is no on line etiquette.

Standard procedure in my experiences. People will say anything to get an advantage. Stating they have to go is simply a way to get you to think they are pushing AI just to end their game - most likely not the case. Block the person's chat - silence is golden

People being ruder online versus live, been that way since the 2nd email ever was sent.

Options:

1. Ignore him.
2. Do it back to him.
3. Turn chat off
4. Devise ingenious method to remotely electrocute people thru their keyboards. Let me know if you figure this one out.

Its called tension release, sometimes it can be fun to the extent you keep it relatively harmless. Plus, I don't think I've ever told the truth at poker table (live or online) regarding my cards, my play, etc.

Had to laugh because one guy in my home game does this. Wants to bust out because there are now enough people out for a cash game. Or he thought he'd have busted out by now and needs to go to Home Depot so he can get back before the start of the next tournament. Somebody inevitably calls him, and he flips over AA.

It's poker! People lie all the time.

Those are bush league tactics. Ignore him then crush him when you get a good hand.
