pointless poll: do you block PokerStars avatars

[tubalkain]

I block children, goatse, sports stuff, tubgirl, random pictures, and other things. If it's not a hot woman, odds are it's not sticking around long.

[POKhER]

Always block every picture, same with absolute.

i find they make me play different i.e. If i think they are female...

Hmm its wierd!!!!

[gisb0rne]

I've only blocked one image and it was something wierd that I found distracting, and the guy kept sucking out so it made me mad.

I block them all, except for pictures of Bill Fillmaff.

I don't see what the avatars have to do with seeing your chip count.

When you have avatars off, your cards are dealt over top of your chip count, so you have to fold to see how many chips you have...

And you can't tell by looking in the upper left hand corner where it says "Your Chips:"

Ummm, well, uh...

I could if I'd ever noticed it before...

For some reason people with their kids as avatars winds me up the wrong way.

Yeah.

There is a sports message board I read and one of the most emotional, angry posters who is always flaming someone or trashing the coach or players has a picture of a cute little girl for his avatar. Freaks me out.

P.S. I originally registered for 2+2 so that I could block avatars (and change display settings generally). I never intended to make stupid polls...

Never. I want every scrap on information I can get on my opponents.
