Re: Things you hate at the poker table
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. |

Slowrollers.
"Can I see that hand"ers People that take up too much space. Smokers (not really a factor anymore) Dealers that talk too much. Players watching football or horse races that have to be reminded all the time that it is their turn to act. Paul |

Re: Things you hate at the poker table
Most of the people on your hate list are the same ones I make my living from. Please send them my way.
My biggest pet peeve is the game grinding to a halt for an unneeded setup. Especially when I'm stuck. |

Re: Things you hate at the poker table
loud mouths who only play structured games. they talk so much trash and think they are so dangerous at the table, yet they would lose everything if they tried to play nl.

Re: Things you hate at the poker table
I have my pet peeves:
1) people who start acting like a pro after they win a hand however lucky it may have been. It's just one hand, the other guy was cold-decked, or you hit a three outer on the river and now they're acting like they are on the poker tour. 2) ppl who berate a fish for playing a hand terribly and sucking out on them. ok, we're sorry but why embarrass him for furture hands. 3) table with no personalities or conversation and tight weak play 4) and i posted about this one before but ppl who piss other's off with the: hey we're buddies and I totally got you beat, i'll show if you fold' on a table where ppl are chummy and cool with one another and this guy isn't really part of that but cashes in on it and then shows a bluff. but these are exceptions... mostly it's good times |

Re: Things you hate at the poker table
how about people who eat with their hands at the table - those chips are gross and then they get grosser from more food on them. i get disgusted every time. i would eat a snickers with a fork and knife at a live game.

Sitting in a great 20-40 game with someone maniacally blowing off $5600 on your direct left and getting none of it.

Sounds like you haven't made the second agreement.
