Live poker pet peeves

Obv a lot of us are mainly online players and are currently playing a lot of live out here at the wsop. I think we all can agree that a lot of things about live poker can really piss you off. Mine are...

- Players who think their good but suck. actually this is probably a good thing but these people piss me off.
- Dealer errors. Been happening a lot especially in games other than holdem.
- Dealers not giving the BB the option to raise and just dealing the flop. Had KK in BB with 3 limpers and was counting out chips for a raise but oh too late the flop is out. (probably goes under dealer errors)
- Large rake.

People tanking pre flop at 50/100 raise to 275 from the bb wondering whether to call or fold with 6k behind . Crazy asians sigh. Thomas Keller is pretty tilting, reminded me so much of the iceman extremely nitty/uses the timebank to try to make himself last as long as possible, agonizes over every decision. Also wonder if he's on some serious drugs or something he never seemed to make any sense.

I play a lot of 2/5 NL live poker and go to Vegas a lot (8x this year so far). I swear if I had a nickel for everytime I heard someone ask the person who opened with a raise "How much you got behind?" then almost immediately fold, I would be a rich woman! It really drives me bananas. I find the practice annoying and rarely does this question seem to impact this person's decision to call, raise or fold -- as it seems they've already made their decision and just want to be annoying.

Bad breath- omfg 9grg98jhf3fg Wtf seriously grown ass men with horrible breath
People who eat with their greasy chicken at the table and get stains on it and the cards UGH

The fucktard who plays 2 hands and then walks around for an hour playing blackjack while theres people waiting for a seat

The guys that try too damn hard to sound cool by using every single poker term ever invented.

People who swear the dealer has something agasnt them and never deals them anything and if they ever do, they will lose anyways because that dealer is horrible

The fuckfaces who ask for a set up everytime its abvaialble and switch seats like thats going to do anything

k time go to play hehe

Was wondering this myself. Especially after you guys came back from the dinner break. Dude was seriously on Pluto or somethin.

A+ thread

j_farah: 
"Oh man, I folded J4! I would've flopped two pair!"

Even worse, while the hand is still going on - "Ooh, look at those diamonds. Scary board eh?" Double hatred if they're not even in the hand.


yeah lol thts so funny. flop is like 22A. guy is like SHIT i folded 25 then sighs rly loudly.


this.

friend at my home game folded on the flop, meanwhile my other buddy and I went to war where I shoved my set and got stacked by boat on teh turn, pretty stnd

my friend who had mucked early obv has no place to say anything here, but actually goes ballistic and starts cussing and ranting about how he would've won on the river or w/e! I thought this was way outta line, and consequently it ended the action for everyone that night.

i think these are new.....

When some clown calls the floor before he folds his hand cause he wants to be a prick about something insignificant.

Fat people sitting next to me who lean on the table and knock my chips over

People next to me who constantly burp silently and blow it in my ear ( usually a drunk guy who just ate a hotdog)

 people who take 30 seconds preflop each and every time before folding their 93o UTG.


came here to say this exact thing, sucks when they look around the table/stacks and slide their cards slowly to the dealer flafj;lf;falf;lfasfd


most frustrating thing ever!  that 30 seconds seems like 5 minutes!

plus I hate ppl that instead of just folding, announce "FOLD"

 1.  People who believe that the fact that they just won the last hand makes their play better than yours, and will now tell you why.

2.  People who reach into my little section of the table.  For a dropped chip, cause they think you took their card, whatever.  Stay away from my cards and chips.  I think this stems for the time I was thown out when I was 21 for grabbing the wrist of a guy, who wasn't in the pot, after he reached into the muck to flip over my cards after I lost a pot.

3.  Incompetent dealers.

4.  Obvious collusion in a foreign language that is not stopped even after I have called it out several times.

5.  People flipping out after they lose a flip.

- It's really irritating when people talk about the hand they had while the hand is still going on. 

- People complaining about folding rag rag in early position only to see their junk hand would have flopped two pair, set, straight, etc...

- It's also really annoying when people talk about the different possibilities of hands that someone may or may not have based on the board texture when they're not even in the hand, thus helping the person whose decision it is.

- Funny story about the girlfriend sitting behind the player....there was a guy who busted from my WSOP SNG satty yesterday...he gets up and walks away from the table while his girlfriend remained seated behind his empty chair until he yelled over to her to inform her that he was done......lol

 My # 1 live poker pet peeve...

when guy in the cut off or middle position look at thier cards before anyone has acted, gets all excited abt his 88, and stars counting out a raise before his turn to act...whole table sees him so everyone before him immediately muck

I'm a dealer so i'm going to list some things that players do that sickens me or pisses me off.
1. When I ask "Option?" they said retarded comments like "let them live" or "hurry before someone changes their minds" or "quick before someone realizes they have a good hand" LOLOLOL shut up you annoying tool.
2. When players, for some godforsaken reason, need to eat chicken wings at the poker table without washing their hands. I actually puke in my mouth when this happens.
3. When players like dwan check with 1 finger and look at you like you're some sort of retard for not seeing his finger scratch the table indicating a check.
4. When players take down monster 3,000 pots in 1/2 NLHE and tip 1.00, then cash out immediately
5. Players that tell me how to calculate a side pot, or ask how much the pot is in a NLHE game(not allowed, you can ask the pot to be spread out, but not what the pot amount is. if you want an estimate, look at the rake, if its 4.00, guess what? pots 80-90 bucks you moron.
6. after I ask an all in player to let the others reveal their hands first for the side pot, they immediately turn over their cards if they win and tell me to "ship it"
7. and last but not least, when im dealing Dealers choice, and someone picks a pineapple game, I announce "The game is crazy pineapple, or regular pineapple" and i get retard asking "OMG WHY DO I HAVE 3 CARDS MIDSDEAL", or "what game is this?" by 3 different players in one hand. Oh man you wouldn't even believe how many times this happens on any given day.

Two (or more) people at the same table (mine especially) speaking any language other than English to one another.
