Not a 'pro' antic, but this is epidemic where I play:

"Do you want action? Is it action you want? You want a call? I know you don't have anything. Is my two pair good? Want me to show you a card? Pick a card to show"

This crap goes on for fifteen minutes before the speaker inevitably folds.

I swear this happens at least twice an orbit. I am going to kill someone.

Word. I don't know why, but everytime somebody looks at me and says "Do you want action?", I feel like the biggest pit game degenerate of all time. "Do you want action" sounds so ghey and TJ to me.

People who say when they are about to fold,"If you are bluffing, that is the greatest bluff ever." And then they'll show like 1pair or some other whack hand. just STFU. What it really means is,"I'm afraid of getting embarrassed by a bluff at the table and I'll just show off how much (little) I know about poker by acknowledging how great of a play it was." It just seems like they're trying to hide the fact that they folded a decent hand. They desperately want to send the message of "I can not be ran over and I will not be laying down this hand everytime. I understand how to read my opponents." Face it, you suck.

Unless the guy is asking me to join him in prayer or doing it in an obnoxious way, why should I give a damn?

I guess I could be projecting my jealousy of his success if I made an issue out of it, but then I'd be the douche, no?

I actually think Hilm prob. gets a lot out of his crazy stares, I don't mind that. I love Khan, I don't care what anyone says, the only part that bugs me is you see him looking for the camera a lot which makes it slightly more obvious than it already was that he's mugging it up, but I don't care, I still think he's really funny.

When players do that "Do you want action" almost every hand, the moment they are in a hand with someone else and say it, i just yell "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" at them, and then call the clock.

Every time they say it from then on, no matter who's hand (mine or someone elses), i call the clock on them from then on. They quit saying it. It may seem rude, but it's even ruder when they hold the game up every hand because they have no idea what the hell they are doing.

Kenny Tran talking trash when he wasn't involved in hands...I know he is a great player, but it was classless! I was happy to see him bust.

I like your style. People who don't put up with BS at the table and are generally quiet otherwise are a rare breed.
