Default Re: Things that annoy you about live poker.

Been over the "wait to look or look right away" pet peeve before in other threads. I *HATE* people who wait to look and then take 10 seconds EVERY hand to decide what to do with 2 cards (mostly I hate this in tournaments, but if enough people do this in a cash game it'll drive me out--I *CANNOT* tolerate getting 15 hands/hour out).

I also happen to think it's REALLY dumb to wait exactly because ALL eyes are on you when it's your turn to act. Yeah, you're looking around the table trying to watch 9 people simultaneously look at their cards--good luck with that--and then 9 people are ALL staring at you when it's your turn. Who do you think is getting more info? I myself look neither right away, nor do I wait. I try to pick a spot in between when nobody is watching me.
