Re: B&M Cliches
My favorite: when a player uses the "check and raise" line but then actually check raises. Awesome.
Folks who think every name for a hand is genius (look, 95o, as awesome of a hand as it is, really doesn't need to be specifically pointed out as the "dolly parton"). Special demerits if they continue to sit there naming hands as they're shown down. Ducks! Canine! Columbia River! Honestly, enough. Notable exceptions:
-Presto (always acceptable)
-Ducks (only valid if you accompany your showdwon with quacking)
Calling on the flop/turn saying "one time" (ie "I am going to call you to showdown no matter what the next two cards are").
Calling for cards ("no diamond!"... thanks for telling us you're on the flush draw).
"What'd you have" "13 of blue moon."
The lines I'm most guilty of using: It's just money/They're only chips and (after I raise/bet) "Fold, I have <quads/straight/flush/any impossible hand>". Wow, I just realized how bad this looks. I'm going to say 150 Hail Mary's and proceed directly to Harvey's South Lake Tahoe.
