FileError404 0 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I can't believe nobody mentioned this one already... 4 words..."How much is it"?IT'S $5 MOFO! FOR 3 HOURS IT's BEEN $5!! WAKE UP!! YOU'RE UNDER THE GUN! Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 0 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Ok my biggest pet peeve is at a home game when your all in showdown and on the river the dealer takes a peek at the card and then prolongs showing it. Im not very supersticious but whenever the fcuk that happens i always loose to a suckout. Also when people say check under the gun and then put out a bet. Link to post Share on other sites
ShieldWolf 0 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 [fryer98"]When at the showdown, showing 1 card...and then thinking they only have to show 1 to win the pot. That one used to really get to me, and I mean REALLY get to me. Now I just don't let people get away with it. At a casino, if the dealer doesn't immediately say something, I ask the dealer to flip over over the other card. At home games, I flip it over myself, or wait till someone elese does before I show or muck my hand. There are two reasons people like to do that... 1. They want to hide information. If the board is 2345Q and they show you just a six and not the other card, they don't want you knowing if they raised or called preflop with a 67 suited, A6, 66, or 63 off. Same goes for any flush, top pair etc... 2. They are trying to show off. "Ha! I am so good, I only need one hole card to beat you!" They think everyone will view them as a stronger player because of it. While it can be good for someone to have that false sense of security, I will always request the other card be turned over for the immediate information. Plus, whatever their reason may be, the player didn't turn over the other card because he/she didn't want it to be seen. And when it IS seen it tends to upset the player.

Guest XXEddie Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 When a AA5 comes on the board, and some dude or chic says man I hate it when I fold my pockets A's pre-flop.What is worse is when this a hole does it every hand.flop 568donk; %@ I folded 79....even though there was a raise, an re-raise and an allin Link to post Share on other sites
Guest XXEddie Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 when people need to be taught how to bet like this"ok..if you want to call, but it one white and one blue, if you want to raise you need to at least put if 4 reds" Link to post Share on other sites
Herr Baader 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Had to resurrect this thread to bring up something I've see A LOT of late, and it annoys me almost as much as the min-raise:I raise preflop, get any number of callers. More often than not one of the first to act puts out a min-bet (e.g. $20/$30 into a pot of $150-$300 (tournament)). What's this supposed to accomplish? This usually happend in a multi-pot more than HU, and I'm trying to understand the "thinking" behind this.This happens some in cash games as well, but not quite as much as in tourneys. Has anyone else noticed this? Link to post Share on other sites

commoncents 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 i hate when you are playing with $5 chips and someone calls or makes it $100 but counts out 10, $10 stacks. Then recounts to make sure there are 10 little stacks infront of them. even better when the fumble and drop some chips as they attempt to count them out. Link to post Share on other sites
AZWildcat 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 As far as tipping is concerned... The fact that hotel/casinos don't pay their dealers flat salaries allows them to keep costs on other services relatively low... For example, in Vegas you get free drinks galore, free/discounted food, room comps, show comps, etc... If they paid every dealer/valet/bellhop say a flat $20/hr (which is probably average), they would have to jack up prices on all other services (rooms, food, entertainment, paying for all drinks, etc). Besides, usually when you drag in a sizeable pot, you're tipping the dealer with other peoples' money anyways... I mean, would you rather have a $15 steak and leave the waitress (i.e. the dealer) $5 - making her happy, or pay the restaurant $30, not knowing how that money is getting divided? Also, casinos make millions because people gamble it away to them for the chance to take the CASINO'S money... Casinos aren't obligated to take pity on you because you lost...

MenTheMasterOwns 0 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I didn't read the whole thread, so someone may have already posted this ...When you're all in pre-flop with KK and get called by your opponent with AA. Your opponent's hand holds up and you have to ship him all your chips. Then he has the nerve to look at you like he made some kind of great play. That ticks me off. Link to post Share on other sites
dinocourt 0 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 They've all been said but here's the top five. 1. Slowrolling, I have actually stood up and berated an entire table of people for this shit. Hand after hand, they'd be pump faking waiting for the other guy to show their hand down. I've also told people that I'll ask the dealer to expose their hand whenever they muck afterward. See below. Nothing more aggravating. 2. People who ask the dealer to expose your hand when you've mucked a loser. This just seems to be in poor taste to me. 3. Guys who beat your aces with 64 sooooooted when it was three bets pre-flop, and then go on at length about how they knew you had a big hand, but they were already committed to the pot from the small blind. 4. I played with one guy who would do a Yosemite Sam style point his fingers in the air like a gun, and go pow pow, pow pow. 5. DEalers' who think they're ****ing pros, and say things like I have a 20/40 game at my place every thursday you guys are all invited to. I'm sure there's a zillion more.

People who ask the dealer to expose your hand when you've mucked a loser. This just seems to be in poor taste to me. a couple of months ago, i was playing at a casino near my house. went all in pre-flop with KK, got called by some 30 year old woman. I flip my hand, she says "shit", flop, turn and river all unders with no pairs. she says "shit" again, and about 10 seconds later flips over AA.I rebuy, and later on muck a loosing hand after calling a bet on the river, the same chick asks the dealer to show the table my cards.i've never hated anyone more than that bitch.

VegasScribs 0 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Someone mentioned they didnt like Straddles or Baseball caps. Why not? Hey man Im half black and half white and if youve ever seen our hair before you HAVE to understand that sometimes weve got to cover that loose curled fro up with a ball cap! With the straddles I think theyre great in an uber tight game, might as well get some money in that pot somehow! Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Didn't want to bother reading through other posts to see if this had been mentioned yet, but...This weekend, I'm in a tourney, I'm short-stacked. It's me and the BB left in the hand, everybody else folding pre-flop after some betting. Flop comes all clubs, but I decide to make a stone cold all-in bluff at it. Azzhole BB takes the whole clock, types in "bye, bye" and shows AKc. OK, bad timing for me and I can live with the bluff not working, but does that ****** really have to granstand, slow call AND be a **** about it? The answer: No. Very poor sportsmanship. At least i had time to type "**** you" in the chat box. Link to post Share on other sites

randy 0 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 1. dealers who talk about the game.My mate was at a table of donkeys once i was just waiting to sit and saying hello. He just played tight and kept getting paid off so he saw no reason to change when he had about 3x his buy in after a few hours. He folded a hand and the dealer said to him "your quiet down the end there." I would have stabbed him in the eye.2. People who only show one card. I had this guy who did it about 6-7 times at the casino in one night and i KEPT asking him to show me the other card, even though i was not in the hand i felt i have a right to ask. He called me a number of names that were not nice to the point the pit boss had a word. Finally he did it against me in a pot where the river made a 4 card flush and just showed me the nut ace. Sadly for him he mucked the other card so i said "he mucked the other card, thats a fold" and dragged my pot. That learned the fu#$*r. He went on another rant and all i said was "im paying to see your cards, not if you won the pot, if you wish to claim a pot simply show both your cards and you wont have a problem."

Actuary 3 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 playing 6 Man SnG last night.One fella pushes all in on flop, semi bluffing the NFD.Other guy calls with TP and wins.He then goes on to berate the semi-bluffer to no end.Semi-bluffer comes back with ethnic slurrs.I have no idea why people get so mad at bluffers; but I'm guessing the AKc guy in Mercury's post was the type that relished the chance to belittle them.It must be all the times that the semi-bluffer ends up hitting that makes these Weak Tags so angry so that when their hand does hold up..it's time to go off.
