i wonder if hosts realize that i AVOID ALL TABLES WITH KIBITZERS WHO CAN CHAT because i have seen too much cheating and am unwilling to sit at their table. i don't think kibitzers should be able to CHAT AT ALL!! in the real bridge world, they cannot. anyway, my point is i won't sit at your table if you have a kibitzer who can chat.

Darn, we'll miss you.

Those hosts who allow chat and kibitzers probably prefer that you don't join their table either. If they're looking for a fun relaxed game the last thing they need is someone yelling in all caps about cheating.

Perhaps this self-assessed BBO expert can find no other explanation for averaging net negative IMPs in each of the last two months.

Perhaps you can do two things.

1) Host your own tables.

2) Learn that sentences start with the first letter capitalized.

Welcome to the forum. I fixed your first post because you should be way more paranoid! Hosts who disable kibitzer chat do it to make absolutely sure their opponents can't cheat. In the meantime they use skype in the background to cheat with their own partner... So you better avoid all tables.
