How do you feel about players talking trash while playing poker?

I have a military history.

There's no amount of trash you can talk that'll get me off my game. I could probably spit stuff right back at you and really hurt you in the feels, but probably wouldn't during a professional tournament.

This is not new in the game and I think it adds to the social aspect of the game as well. Don't get me wrong, I don't support personal attacks or bullying.

It's funny in freerolls when players get mad, because I'm playing like a donkey. For the most part, I try to avoid talking smack unless it's players I know. Joking around is fun.

Indeed it is, as it adds more liveliness to games. But like you said, I usually do it when I'm with people I'm familiar with and I know it won't escalate.

I suppose if it is all in fun and everyone agrees, then it's okay.

However, if it's causing drama, it can only result in a toxic game. That could cause arguments and even physical altercations. Then you'll get security involved, maybe gaming commission agents and someone could get trespassed, cited, or arrested.

That's all a sore eye on the casino!
