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.

When I was in AC the dealers and players were complaining when there were only 9 or 8 people sitting. Meanwhile I was hoping there was a food poisoning outbreak at the buffet so I could play 6 handed.

"I put you on an overpair""How could you make that call?""Bad bet sir, you will only get raised by a hand that can beat you""I KNEW you had that hand!""Dude, Mike just made the sickest call ever in the tournament!""I shouldn't have called with the J4, but I had a feeling...see, I'm gonna fold this (J2dd) this time. (Flop 2 diamonds, turn blank, river blank). SEE! I KNEW IT!""I didn't suck out, I called with 12 outs and hit one""What was the action?" "Who raised pre?" "That guy reraised him" "No no, he bet 25, he raised to 75, then he re-raised to 175, and he moved all in" (DEALER discussion w/ other players not in hand all while the other player is thinking about calling the all in)."I'm gonna move over to this seat, this way I can more easily access the faces of the other players""I have an overpair" "Good call" (player on a 10 10 9 board to another player who just called his shove, proceeds to showdown K10 and scoop pot""I'm gonna leave soon...they may cancel this, no one will want to play me anymore soon" (Horrific player up a little over a buyin).I'll bring my IPOD next time FOR SURE

lol at the seat change hate... i could tell you story after story after story about not only "hot" seats but also seat changing to gain better position on good/bad players... you guys are seriously missing out on one of the most profitable things you can actually do

Live poker = easy money, but dealing with a super smelly guy next to me for 8 hours was tough a few days ago.Mark

I hate the local who stops in for 15-30 minutes before they have to go to work and berate people for playing too slow!!

[Jaimca 0]

I hate when people sitting beside me, sit with there legs and arms wide apart so I have no room, all squished up and annoyed.I also hate those people that have a comment for every hand they lose.

Heh, I've never encountered any of these things live. Maybe I was the stinky one!

1. The mid 50's guy who plays way to slow and constantly makes jokes about how his 3 ex-wives are taking all his winnings while sitting at the 2/4 LHE table.2. Dealers with the name "Bill" when they speak no english and definitely don't look like a "Bill".3. Players in limit Omaha 8/b games who every hand have to "help" the dealer distribute the pot.4. Dealers who riffle the cards at you when you rake a big pot and don't tip them. (I always tip the dealer if they are a good dealer when their down is over, but never just because I happen to win a pot. You didn't do anything special, don't expect a tip.)5. People whose pacemaker quits while at the table which causes the table to break to let the medics have enough room to help revive the guy. (I've had this happen not once, but twice.)6. People who have to helicopter in every bet and every fold of their cards.7. Floor personal at Foxwoods who have no power to review hands when obvioius mishaps occur because the cameras down there aren't recording on any of the tables except the high high limit games.8. Guys that buy into a 5/10 LHE game with 3 racks of $2 dollar chips.

1. Time charge. It's bad enough when the floor jacks around counting the box down on their own dime.
2. Stupidly small buy-ins in relation to the blinds.
3. Dealers and floor people who seem to invent a new rule every time there's an all-in.
4. Players who want to invent new opener rules every time a PLO game starts.
5. The Bellagio.
6. Players who go on about how bad they're running.
7. Robbery.

To be fair, casino food can give some pretty bad diarrhea. Be more sensitive.

My fav line from this past Foxwoods tripPlaying 20/40 LHELimp UTG, 2 more limps, and blinds come along. flops 972 all 3 limpers go 3 bets total. Turn J. They go 3 bets again. River 9. utg bets, guy raises, 3rd guy folds, utg calls.2nd limper wins with 97. UTG has AA and curses his bad luck. Guy who folded for 2 bets on river, says you were in 3rd place. UTG asks "how? what could you have had?" he says" i had jack deuce" looks at the guy who won the pot and says"I don't know how you call a 97"

People who at showdown are shown the winning hand but hold on to their cards for at least 30 secs...looking at the board, looking back at the hand they are now holding just above their chips (usually bending/curving significantly)...sighing and making facial expressions at least a couple times...all before finally mucking. This is usually after check/tank calling on every street.

People with sunglasses at 1/2NL. I can stand people wearing their hoods but sunglasses at 1/2 is just atrocious.

that's funny cause i think the hood is worse then the glasses. unless its cold perhaps. or sunny for that matter.

el oh el. I was up there from Sunday to Wednesday and met up with Mark. It would have been nice to meet you. Sounds like a great game, btw.

I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure there was 100-200 and possibly something larger (150-3 ? 300-6 ?) running while I was there.Dan

I don't mind the hood. There are definitely times that it's freezing in a poker room. I've also personally found it to be incredibly helpful in hiding any physical tells when i'm in a tough spot. I'm not talking "Phil Laak" style, but if I have it on and i'm in a big hand or a tough spot, I find it's much easier to hide anything I might be giving off. I just sit there with my head slightly tilted down (staring at a spot on the table) and I don't really have to worry.Plus, if other players think i'm a donk for having my hood on, imo that's +EV.Glasses at 1/2 or even 2/5 = teh ghey.Dan

My first live tourney I played i brought a pair of Black Flys to wear.. I plunked my $330 down at the cage, sat down in my seat, glasses on and rarin' to go .. First hand i'm dealt I look down.. can't see shit.. take off my glasses and have AA..Glasses remained in shirt pocket for the next 4 hours.(ed note: I got unlucky on that first hand to have 3 hearts on the board plus 4 cards on a straight, so while I got some value on flop and turn (i had Ahearts) i ended up having to check down river and lost a little value with 4 cards to a straight on board).(ed second note: nothing better to pass the time in a live tourney than cleavage.. I can't state this enough: god bless cleavage.)

The Woods usually have a 150-300 game, but it's usually short for the most part. They run a 100-200 game that stays pretty full, they also run a 40-80 game that usually has a list and a 30-60 game that also usually has a list.The best however is on the weekends when there is always an attempt to start the 2/4 4/8 or 5/10 HORSE game, which always is a day long blasty!
