aspects of poker you hate the most


Recommended Posts

I think this could get interesting.For me, the notion that at least some of my profit--which will be spent wholly on materialistic things like clothes, etc.--comes from gambling addicts. A sad but necessary reality that all players must realize at some point.

Don't feel bad. You're not taking their money because they're gambling addicts. You're taking it because they suck at poker.Addiction is a disease; poor poker playing is a choice.

really man, who gives a hoot. just like handing out lessons at the table, last night I was telling one guy basically to shut up and let the other call be a calling station on his fifth buyin !If somebody wants to part with the cash by playing poorly I'm there to help them out !

trying to vary an agressive style with a trap by checking intending to CRand having ewer opponent get the most excellent.......and free.....card which of course dominates my made hand and damn near puts me on tilt.that's live play, on the internet I get driven crazy with how worthless raises are. raise 3-5x BB, lots of callers and get sucked out on a high percentage with Qrag, Krag, ragrag etc for two pair or the flush. I know they don't always get there but lately(variance I guess?)they have and it's almost got me to stop playing online for awhile.

I dislike lying. Not bluffing - that's just part of the game - I mean the situation where I'm sitting at a very soft table full of people who think poker's just like any other casino game, where I have to lie any time they ask me why I did something. Well, I suppose I don't have to, but things go more smoothly that way... "why did you raise with JTs this time, and not when you had it earlier?" "Well, earlier I was in lousy position and didn't know if I'd have a bunch of callers. This time all you fish limped in ahead of me, and I had plenty of customers to make it worth playing it aggressively..." might be considered insulting, so a lie is better.

Having to actually play...I wish I could just sit at the table and let everyone know that I am the best and that they WILL give me their money over the long run so why not save us all the trouble and just hand it over to me now...

what i hate most about NLHE is the river.If there was no such thing as the river i'd have millions of dollars by now. I can honestly think of only a handful of times I got my money in with the worst hand when i wasnt shortstacked.Second thing i hate is tourists from certain states, i wont say which, that come to AC and act like they are awesome. And some of them are very good players but their attitude sucks, they constantly berate other players and constantly try to trap other players. Not that that's wrong to do but you just see right through it.If they lose their stack watch out because an avalanche is about to follow, followed by a rebuy and tilt. They will also appeal to the player next to them but hate the rest of the table.I should also mention these players fall into a certain age category and it aint young players, and it aint old players.The thing i hate most about poker is the crappy poker on tv like poker royale, celebrity poker and poker superstars. WPT is ok but nothing beats WSOP.

That's called selective memory

I don't think I HATE anything about the game. Things that make me laugh and shake my head are fish that brag about that fantastic flop play that cracked my set of hooks with their 3-7 suited and runner-runner the flush and quads against boats (you sank my battleship!!!).

Lax--ative, Try one. It will help. I hate betting top 2 pair hard, getting called by the flush draw, and the 3rd of that suit on the turn. Arrrrrgggg

I hope you don't actually believe that.

People who slow roll after you turn your hand over, they look at you, their cards, the board, then finally flip over their hand. :roll:
