People who call huge bets on the flop and turn with just a gutshot straight draw, then say "I had outs" as they drag in the pot after cracking Aces. Keep doing that and you'll be a champ. :club:

the obvious ones that have been mentioned; slow rolling, eating at the tableill add:- people who are "poker gear" elitists and complain that you dont have super expensive chips or an "actual" poker table when youre playing for pennies in a home game. - people who decide to go to the bathroom and then ***** at you for folding their hand before they got back....like we all want to sit around for 5 minutes and wait.- newbies who hit a miracle flop with garbage after raises/reraises and then talk about how "easy" this game is.- people who decide that since its poker night it means they can get wasted to the point of being an annoyance/nuisance.

yeah, when theyre just wasted enough to give you their money its all good....but when they have have a few more drinks and get to the point where they arent even playing anymore, theyre just drinking your beer, spilling their drinks, stumbling around and throwing up. thats when i start hating them.

-when people ask you for advice and when you say you shouldnt of called a raise with J5 therye like 'but it was sooted, so...'-when people steal the blinds preflop and show 97 and says 'you woulda won' and i reply 'no, I had 92' and he says 'yeah, but if a 2 came up you woulda'-when people go allin for 15 times the pot size with the board i like AKQJT rainbow-when someone goes allin with the worst hand, gets lucky on the flop and screams 'YES!' then curses and bitches when their opponent re-drawnsout on the river-when people tell bad beat stories when they are allin preflop with like 55 v. AT, I dont care if he hit it on the river, you were only 53% to win-when people turned over 2 clubs at showdown with 2 on board and say ;i almost had a flush' even if one of the clubs came on the river'-when people refer to JJ UTG as a monster-when people who bet like 15 have to slow count out 15 $1 chips one by one instead of putting in 3 $5 chips-people who continue to stack chips from a previous pot when its their turn to act-people who think just because 72o is the 'worst hand in hodem' means its an underdog to everything even 32o-people who tell me bad beat stories that begin with "well, I had aces'-people who think looking at your cards as soon as you get them is dumb....because as we all know you should look at them when it your turn to act, and EVERYONE is watching you...(sw)-people who think the more chips they have means the better they are-people who say 'youre bluffing' as they fold even if you only bet 50 into a 75 pot and you each have like 1500 behind-people who say 'nh' after getting outdrawn on the river, we all know you didnt mean it.-when people not in the hand say stuff like 'fold' or 'he's bluffing'-when people call people like Matusow and Hellmuth donks because they whine a lot
O very nice ones there.

This in itself doesn't bother me - we will get his money soon enuff - but what is annoying is when the whole table then chimes in with NH.

1. People who toss their chips across the line in a "contemptuous" manner, as if the money means nothing and they're trying to intimidate the others still in the hand.2. Threads by Alf where he says he wants to kill someone. It's more intimidating that #1 ;-)3. People who think that because you've snagged some of their chips, you are now best buddies (at casino, not home games).4. Bubbling a qualifier

- People who smell/have bad breath- People who sit to close to me/not in their proper spot- 'Tapping the aquarium'- People who try to draw me into conversations that I don't want to have - usually about poor play by others. This goes double if their breath is bad.- Everything else listed so far is just nit-picking... Someone didn't move the button? Someone doesn't know how much to bet? Get a helmet whiners.

The incontinent player who was sitting in my seat immediately before I arrived. :think:
:club: Classic!My biggest peaves are:1) The guy (who plays every hand) who always uses the excuse "Well, I guess I'm pot committed." when a pre-flop bet is made that gets at least 1 caller, purely to justify his horrible hand if he wins the pot with it.2) The hyperactive guy who either asks you what you had after every hand (even the ones he's not involved in) or feels the need to tell everyone what he folded even though it wouldn't have made a hand with the board.3) Guys who can't put their bet over the line on the table. The dealer tells them again and again to place their bet further out from their stack, yet they just can't do it.

Here are my 2 favorites:1. EP (short stack) pushes, MP calls, BB calls. EP instantly shows his hand. 2. People that can't wait for their turn: Player 1 bets, Player 2 thinks for about 2 seconds and player 3 shoves in a raise. Player 2 says "WTF?" and player 3 says "I'm sorry I thought you folded..."

I was at a home game where this dude took off his shoes and was giving his big gross foot a massage with the same hand he used to toss chips in.People were folding to him just so they wouldn't have to drag a pot with his crusty chips. Sick stuff.

I don't care if people are wearing ipods at the table. What sucks is when they start singing along to whatever tune is playing. Doubly bad if they're singing any John Meyer song..... :club:

Those, in the Live game that have to wait til everyone flips his/her cards til he/she flips over there cards!Lots of Slow-Rolling happening in live games.Thats my #1 Pet-Peeve! :club:

I have a guy who does that at my game tooI wanna choke him to death every time.He also says "double it" when he's betting first to act after the flop.And when he's trying to read people's hands, he winds up saying half the deck "you either have suited connectors, or overcards, big/small pair, flush draw, straight draw"And then says "I told you he had that" after the hand is over.
LMAO :D:D
