Things I Hate About Live Poker


Recommended Posts

outside of the smelly degens and the not washing hands thing, that is all kinda why i like live poker more than online. people being retarded and overly serious about shit they're terrible at is just ****ing adorable, imo. it's why babies learning to walk, crawl, whatever, the first time is so cute. same goes for 22 yr olds in sunglasses and WSOP hats. i'm pretty sure i saw one spit up on his WSOP jacket walking out broke once, too.

Excellent Listadd chip trick performers to #7 please though
Hey! I like playing with my chips, and it has nothing to do with trying to impress my opponents. It has everything to do with needing to fiddle with something, so it might as well be my chips.I used to build chip palaces/towers too... until an opponent built a spiral chip tower out of the chips he won from me in a $1,000 pot. I suddenly realized that it could be annoying to your opponents.But I will never give up playing with my chips. Even though it is giving me carpal tunnel syndrome.

He said success. Pretty sure Mike Matusow acknowledging you online does not count as moderate success.Thank you, try again.
ER's sharkscope is actually decent, and the poster said "little" online success, not "moderate." I would quantify this as little and then thinking he's the shit.1,444 $2 $10 14% $2,505 So I guess this is where I say: Thank you, try again. And make you look like a fool.I never thought I'd be using Ryland's positive sharkscope as a way of proving a point. Oh how I have fallen.

473. People who say they hate sucking out on nice people,.....after they just sucked out on you.642. People who forget to post their blind and/or ante. Get with the program, *******. (I don't mean like once in awhile, I'm talking about the guy who forgets EVERY orbit.)287. Players who way overvalue their hand in a tournament. "$500." Meanwhile the other player is dumbfounded why this guy just bet 500 into a $100 pot.89. People who shuffle their two cards over each other 20,000 times before finally looking at them.3475. Players who gripe about never winning a hand.Edit: 435. Players who say they're going to get something to eat and are gone for an hour or more with a possible empty seat that can't be filled. GR!Etc. etc.

I'd like to add to this one... This extends to any poker hat or T-shirt. Also to dudes that wear sunglasses at like 3/6 and 5/10 LHE.
Didn't you make some Doyle Brunson t-shirts awhile back and you had it as your avatar for the longest time?

$15 raises at 1/2
Sadly, you pretty much have to raise it this high to get people off of bad hands. They simply don't realize that a raise to $7 PF is 3.5x the BB and they should probably fold their marginal hand.

LOL at the seemingly unanimous concensus that most live players stink and never wash their hands.There are pros and cons to both online and live, obv.I think it would do some of the more anti social online only types some good to crawl out and re discover the real world once in a while.

Players that ask constantly for deck changes. I was sitting in 3/6 one day and some asian guy, in a span of 30 minutes, asked for 3 deck changes. I wanted to pull his chair over to the empty table behind us.
This is definitely one of my pet peeves, all the decks have the same cards in them buddy.

But the person asking for the deck change obv doesn't suck, so it must be the cards that suck.

Something has to change these cards I havent won a hand in ten minutes.We have this old guy that plays at our game that is a habitual blamer of decks/dealer not shuffling good and/or using that "damn vegas shuffle" for his losing ways.

People with sunglasses at 1/2NL. I can stand people wearing their hoods but sunglasses at 1/2 is just atrocious.
I wear a hood at the table, but I dont do a phil laak. It is down all the time.Great list man, although you really should have added hat and sunglasses to it.edit:and speaking of $15 raises, if you play at Star Shitty in Sydney, you will get $22 preflop raises at 1/2It is just a gamble game there.

Yes...what's amazing is nothing annoying ever happens when playing online. Ever.At least these people get OUT into the world, compared to the unwashed, fat, stench-ridden loads sitting in their underwear with one hand on the mouse and the other Doritos-stained hand in their underwear while porn is running and their social-skills continue to go undeveloped and retard even further.

But we don't have to see these people so it is ok.
