Re: Pet Peeves during live MTTs
I find a lot of these pet peeves entertaining during an otherwise boring live tournament.
During a Borgata tournament a few weekends ago, a woman had this consistent mannerism of checking her cards, putting in her chips, and then putting on her sunglasses. One time, she was so involved thinking about her PF raise amount that some old guy on the button called the clock on her PF and she forgot to put her glasses on once she finally made her min raise. Right before I folded in the BB, I jokingly whispered to the SB, "look, she didn't put her glasses on, do you think it's a tell?" The SB triumphantly announces to the table, verbatim: "This woman has a tell, when she doesn't put her glasses on, she's extremely strong."
Punchline: as the woman is gathering the pot, she quietly whispers a line (or close enough) from the movie Rounders, "the rule is, if you spot a man's tell, you don't say a freaking word."
How many popular pet peeves were in this story?
(1) sunglasses
(2) quoting rounders
(3) annoying poker-pro announcer in sb?
(4) hollywood'ng preflop, opening the action
(5) min raise
