Things you hate at the poker table

[portisfreak]

I dunno about hating these things at the table, but some are annoying:

1)People who berate fish for making bad calls/plays then later make the same bad plays themselves

Eh, fish in denial. + EV.

2)People who justify why the played the way they did

Sort of annoying, though I'm guilty of this often.

3)People who use their mouth to try to get under other player's skin

[censored] hate this.

4)Slow players who dont follow the action

A little annoying, but if they're too busy having fun, it's +EV.

5)Fake out players, who try to pretend they dont understand whats going on

I'm guilty of this also, though the PokerStars shirt I wear occasionally tips them off that I'm full of [censored].

6)Foul language, the mis-use of the word "buddy" as a non-offensive substitute for xxxxx.

I tend to be a bit more sensitive about this, though getting that person worked up shows how much they're going to tilt later. +EV.

7)People who cry when they lose

Seen it once. At a [censored] 1-3 spread table. More amusing than annoying.

8)People who think they are good players but arent

+EV. +EV. +EV.

9)People who throw cards at the dealer or across the table when they lose

That's [censored] rude. That and slamming a pile of chips over to the winning player after losing an All-in.

10)People who act like the game owes them something

Eh, I think most of us are guilty of this.

11)People who think everyone else sucks at the game but them

The ones who are actually the ones better than everyone else tend to shut up.

12)Anyone who brings thuggishness to the table and makes implications that this has any relevance

But the second they break this facade, you know you have them. +EV.

13)People who dont shower/stink/fart

They're drunk, desperate and probably on tilt that's lasted more than a day. +EV.
