Things I Hate About Live Poker


Recommended Posts

Don't forget about the guy in the small blind who doesn't complete and then slams the table when the garbage flop comes. Same goes for trying to whisper to you every folded hand how he would've had bottom 2 pair or whatever. I use my headphones on either side to try and let these guys know I'm not into this every hand evaluation of what we would've had if we never folded! Good times! Continue...

in live poker, you can go a week THREE MONTHS of fulltime play without seeing AA.
FYPAnd 8 of the 12 times you get KK in live play, someone has AA. And the only time you flop your set, so does the AA. <----------- in late Dec/Jan/Feb 2007

I like being on a limit table and ipod guys asks, "what was the raise?"
I once played a 3/6 game at the MGM where some random frat kid sat down and put on his iPo, sunglasses, and hoodie up, and proceeded to totally uncover and unplug to ask what was going on every time the dealer pointed at him. I vaguely remember killing and dismembering him and dumping the body at equal intervals along some desert highway.

#1 The tight ass player who continually berates the maniac with all the money, where the maniac just gets up and leaves.
QFMFTThat one irks me to no end.

Oh, I almost forgot one...#324987 - People who CONSTANTLY complain about there being an open seat. Anytime a seat is open for 2.2 seconds at a 10 handed game, they are looking up towards the front desk with a whiny look on their face and reminding the dealer every 30 seconds "Do they know we have a seat?" Why are people obsessed with playing 10 handed?God that's true. Commerce special right there.

ppl talking about how the winner at the table " got the lucky seat " and thats why they are dragging pots.
Or the people who move to the seat after someone just went on a hot run and left.

Since becoming a supervisor, this is one of my biggest pet peeves. Especially when they are rude about it (which is most of the time in my casino).Last Friday, I came real close to losing my temper with a young player who was being an as$hole. When two seats opened at his table, I immediately made the call for the next players. Of course, I give them a couple of minutes to get to the poker room from wherever they are in the casino, but this young douche still felt the need to berate me.About an hour later, I was counting the poker bank (something I have to do around midnight on weekends). We had another supervisor running the games. Another seat had come open on this guy's table, and he felt the need to come up to the desk to complain about it. He came up looking like a complete idiot with a huge unlit cigar sticking out of his mouth (no offense, BG), and proceeded to give me hell. Of course the other supervisor was dealing with another idiot at the time, so we hadn't called anybody for the seat. I explained that I had to count the bank, and that the other supervisor would make the call as soon as he could.This didn't register with the jerk, so he cussed me some more and then went back to his seat, screaming (and I mean screaming) "SEAT OPEN" every thirty seconds. Finally, my fellow supervisor finished what he was doing and reached for the waiting list. I looked up from counting the bank and said, "Randy, if you call anybody for that seat right now, I'm walking out the door." He gave me an odd look, smiled, and walked off to find some other work to do.

I love those people. I immediately start drooling (especially if they're hot and/or my dinner has just arrived)...

Or the people who stare at you when you are the hot seat and drool like you're a big fat juicy steak waiting to be eaten.

Oops, sorry

which reminds me...#89374978234987 - People who act all buddy buddy with the floor people. They are calling them all by their name, when there's a shift change they'll go "HEY, what's up John!!!"or whatever their name is. The floor person smiles and is like "Hey" as they clearly have no clue who this guy is since they only deal with about 5000 people on a daily basis. Yet the guy will go on and on telling some retarded story while the floor guy looks for any opening to exit the conversation.
After my last post, it may be hard to believe, but I actually like people like this. We're a small casino, so on most nights, I know at least 50% of the players by name. Several of them are really good people, and I enjoy having conversations with them.

We have one regular who is the King of this. It's annoying to us, but pales in comparison to the fact that every time he is going to play, he calls at least four times as he is driving to the casino, just to update us on his progress on the highway.A typical conversation:<phone rings>Sandwedge: xxxxx poker room, Sandwedge speakingCrazy guy: Hey!, Have y'all still got games going? Am I still on the list? Where on the list am I? I'm at mile marker 178, I'm making pretty good time, ain't I?. How long do you think it will take me to get there from here?10 minutes later, we have the same conversation, only from mile marker 190.

You should report him for going 72 in a 60 zone... or at least give him a warning.

Lol, I was going to say mile marker 188, but figured someone would tell me to tell him to quit going 60mph, to speed up and get his ass here.

Last time I was at a casino, a guy changed his seat twice between dealers, while the guy next to him switched his seat once. I was dumbfounded at how ridiculous these two guys looked.

so wsop and wpt only? what about fulltilt hats? I see a lot of those guys. some of which are fulltime FCP internet playersprobably coming from someone who is jealous he cant do any.nothing wrong with chip tricksby 12 games, do u mean side bets and props or did you mix in internet poker and live poker issues.? Issue E sounds more like an online poker forum annoyance than a live poker playing oneMy biggest thing i hate with live poker are annoying people. rarely will you run into a smelly person. and its easy to stay entertained.i think the person who said, its boring and they cant lie in bed, is a introvert.
I have no idea who you are talking about.......
I wear mine all the time.
Oh the hypocrisy! I tittered reading this I tell you!
You annoy me. Go away. You're not funny.

If I may, I would like to offer a rebuttal: 1. Stinky people2. Players that constantly walk away from the table.3. Players that tank forever even when its their option to check in the bb4. Players that stare me down when I make a tiny bet into a tiny pot.5. Players that berate other players and try to tell them how they should have played the hand.6. Players that say " well, Im priced in I guess"7. People that wear WSOP hats.. If you are wearing a WSOP hat at my table you are instantly pegged as the worst player at the table.1. Who told you my nickname?2. I'm an old man...my prostate never lets up.3. I'm also a math genius..... I am calculating pot odds.4. I am trying to look into your soul, my eyesight isn't what it used to be.5. I'm also a cranky old man.6. See 3 above..... man you are stupid. How in the hell do you have any money to begin with?7. I wear it because I am bald and the chicks dig it.And if you are so bothered...... go back to that darn interweb thingie.
