aspects of poker you hate the most

[DCWildcat 0]

You newbies need to watch worldwide poker champion bill fillmaff how to play or you'll always be fishies. You need to inform the dealer you won't accept any bad beats, esp. in a threatening voice. It's +EV

I used to think you were smart.

Should there be a SW in the bottom of that?I am smart. But I'm not very good at poker.

Along the line of bitter old people...Old people stuck in their ways. I had one go off on me for raising in the BB after there were 5 limpers (I had KK). He said it was rude and it slowed the game down. I explained that I was making my decisions based on expected value within accepted poker etiquette, not forgoing edges because of convenience. He immediately cashed out, and everyone else at the table looked at me like I was the biggest asshole ever.Others explain how they "just don't know how to play [insert trash hand here]", and that they call with anything suited.

Fsck old people. They censored me off because eventually the young hotshot maniacs will realize thier play sucks, but these geezers at casinos still haven't figured it out in the 20+ years they've been playing, that's why they're sitting 2/4 limit and giving everyone else dirty looks. They treat the dealers like crap, never tip, and calls the floor manager down every 5 minutes. THAT slows the game down.

Old people at the tables.....HAH!!!!!They rule!! Are you kidding me? Sometimes...these dottering old pine box waiting list idiots won't raise you with the nuts.....Before kicking the dirt on their graves...sit them at my game!!!!!!!!!Okay....I feel better now.

I don't like the fact that at times I've made insulting or brash comments, that though provoked, were not deserved. My second distaste for poker has to do with live play in casinos. I'm not a smoker, and have no problem with smokers, until I walk into a casino and get suffocated, not to mention smelling horrible if I go to a nice restaurant or movie later. I do like the fact that most of the poker rooms are becoming smokefree, but being twenty feet from the slot machines, there is no way to avoid the smoke. Of course, it is my choice to go in the casino, so I have no room to argue this.

People making horrible calls with bad hands that hit, then talking s*** about it like they are some kind of pro.Hard to complain, i know you want those calls. They get frustrating though.

When I put (sw) it unfunny's the joke. When I don't, people think I'm serious. This is getting ridiculous...

I'm glad our B&M poker room is non-smoking. They only have 10 tables crammed in an room so small, you have to step outside to the bingo hall to change your mind. lolThe bingo hall allows smoking, so the poker players go out there to power smoke, and then come back in, so you can smell it on their clothes, which is just as bad. :cry:

I absolutely hate the fact that I constantly take every bad beat on bodog, and then some goody goody glass half full type will tell me that bad beats are good and mean that you are winning in the long run. When you take about 20 in a row, then tell me if you are OK with it.

I hate when people come to a forum to bitch about their bad beats. Get a blog and do it - don't spread your crap here.

1. Too many jackals(players who always bet, always steal blinds,etc.) very annoying, but after a while, easy to beat.2. Underage players, playing with REAL money. Play with play money like the rest of us underagers.

Getting stuck at a table full of local AARP regular rocks who will never raise preflop even with AA, because they want to make sure they hit a flop. :roll: And they won't play at all unless they have a top 10 hand. It's hard to make money of those guys. :twisted: Although they do tend to chase alot, so I've won a few hands against them.

[custom36 4]

People that bet $2.13, $5.68, and $3.99 preflop.

some hands are only worth $3.99 preflopit actually makes a pretty significant psychological effect on a bad player, simply because a lot more chips are being visually represented on the screen when you bet like that. almost, but not completely uselesslive, though, betting $10 with $1 chips can have a marked effect that 2 $5's cannot achieve

I truly dislike watching fools win pots. Although I am quite aware that fools end up losing, and sending the money to more experienced players, I hate the stunned and slow-witted manner in which true calling stations stare at the river card, slowly peek back at their hole cards, and then slam out a few chips.If and when they are called, they slowly drop their hands to the table, still unsure whether or not they have truly won (many fools, after all, are not exactly clever when it comes to reading a board...they THINK they have a straight, but may not be 100% sure that it is true...this is especially common in limit Omaha...).Then, when the dealer or the other players finally confirm their victory, a slow, ignorant smile spreads across their face. For the moment, they have cheated the cold reality of expected value. In this moment, they think to themselves: "I was right all along...I DO know how to play poker...I DID make the right call with an underpair...I could FEEL that set coming!" It is THIS smile...this look of self-satisfied but ultimately ignorant contentment that I hate the most about poker.Paradoxically, it is this smile, and this sort of thinking, that makes any reasonable player money along the way. However, I find it terribly distressing to observe, especially when I am on the losing end of it.Blessings,Posoo

so many things i dont know where to begin:in holdem when someone flips over one of the same cards you've flipped.... and slowly..... flips over..... the other......card....... revealing a hand better than yours.old people. not just old people on the poker table, old people in general. they need their own island or something, i know florida is the place so far, but its getting cramped.in limit, capping on every round with AK suited and flopping two pair... then the other person flopping the set of 2's that he hit on the river.i'll think of more later, just talking about damn old people got me mad enough to... kick a cow in the udder. censored that would be funny.

Online - I really hate people who buy-in to tournaments but don't even have the decency to show up. Or people who make big stacks and then sitout (understandable but still a nuisance). Tonight I was playing in a tournament, playing at a full table of 10 with only four people connected. I mean, it makes for some easy larceny when the other 3 players are playing to the vest, but still annoying. I wanna actually see a flop this hour; let's play for crying out loud!Live - I hate people who think they're top dog because they're wearing sunglasses, and think they're eliminating tells, but create more because they can't stop fondling their glasses. If you can't keep your hands off them, leave them in the car. Oh well, makes it easier for me to take your money, and that's alright with me.

Man this pisses me off.Another thing that pisses me off, is at a home game when someone calls someone down, and then they exchange a few thousand "What do you have?" before someone pulls the one card flip over. I could kill these people.

[Guest]

Most of mine have already been said.The slow rollers are horrible. Especially when you're both all-in on the flop. You flip your cards, they stare at theirs, then stare at yours, then the board, an hour later they flip their cards.Ever play against someone who, when flipping over the next card, looks at it, and then places it down? When all-in against this guy I have to find out that I got rivered, not by the card (because I'm staring at the back of it), but by the look of, "Thank god," on his face.People that make stupid calls in tournament, and knock me out. I take little pleaser in knowing that I made the right play, I'm still leaving early.The phrase, "I can't let you buy it." Spoken by some idiot, first hand after rebuys are over, right before he calls my all-in pre flop, my AKs vs his 84os. All he had committed was his big blind.

people who wear sunglasses at low limit tables.people who talk about a hand when they aren't involved in it.people who tell you "what you should have done there was..." after the show down.People who splash the pot.Railbird losers.People who always make excuses for their own bad decisions. And many more.

Playing on-line for an hour in a 10 person sit and go and finishing in 4th place , when only the top 3 are in the money.

:lol:In a PL Omaha Hi game tonight, I did that and it was hilarious :lol:Board 5-7-K-9-3He flips over a nine, I flip over a nine... he flips over an ace, I flip over a jack... he starts to smile, until I say, "oh wait, and I have 6-8 for the straight too":lol:It's a friendly game though, and moves like this occur pretty often We just have a good time.

Finishing 4th in a S&G or finishing on the bubble of a MTT tournament resulting from a bad beat all in preflop.Probably the worst
