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

So the pet peeve is guys who never stop talking whether there are hands in play or not.

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.

everytime i play live donkaments..theres always a villain that sits there when you guys are HU and thinks he has you beat..shows his cards to his side of the table while they just roll there eyes, flips a coin, takes off his glasses, turns his ipod off, try to pull a helmuth bitch

then i get ulta tilted when i find out he was doing it when he had J7 on an AK7 board

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....."

i see this move all the time in cash games. it's hard to ever say anything because the old nit just lot a big pot every time it happens. old nit insta calls river. you table top pair. he looks at his cards, looks at the board, looks at the cards, thinks about mucking, looks at the cards again, finally mucks.
