Default Pet Peeves during live MTTs

I absolutely cannot stand someone who sits down and begins telling someone he knows about a hand "at the 10k event last month" or that hand "at the Borgata $5k" etc....

There is one player in particular who does it all the time and Im so lucky it seems like I draw his table every time I take a shot in one of these damn things. HINT*Made Mirage 10k final table once and is now busto

when someone hollywood's it EVERY SINGLE HAND preflop - you raise and they stare you down for like 15 seconds every time. this guy was doing it at the main event this summer... after awhile i just start staring at him and we would just stare at each other for 10 seconds... eventually it had me laughing.

I had one guy at my table during some wsop event that acted like he was going to throw his cards away, then looked at them, then acted like they were going to get mucked again, then looked at them again, 4 times total every hand. It made me want to jump off a building.

And there's always the guy who gives the self interview-

"well I knew I was probably behind on the flop but I knew if I could catch on the turn I would bust em....."

[/ QUOTE ]I hate this too, I had a tournament where a guy was doing this and after about the 3rd hand in a row the dealer says "E-S-P-N! Hey buddy, they're not filming till the final table."
It was one of the nightly tournaments at the Mirage [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

when someone stares at me i just point my finger at them. it irritates them or makes them decide faster. not sure how it works but i guarantee it does.

when you are down to the final 3-4 players with the blinds really high and the floorpersons start acting alllike bungholes. their body language clearly states they want you to hurry up and chopso they can go home. it happens in LA all the time.
