Cant stand it when people go on about how the site 'is rigged' just because they didnt win a hand, or how if you go all in with the chip leader, the chip leader will always win!!
I hate when you fold your junk small blind to the big blind and they insist on showing you what they had...I DON'T CARE...I WAS FOLDING ANYWAY!!!! ...also people who give lectures to others on the table on how to play 'properly' and the odd's on their hands....again I DON'T CARE!!! Posted by BananaDog
this is the one that caught my attention. Couldn't agree more. If I choose to fold, it is because I don't want to play my cards. The fact that the BB then shows his 9/4 off is irrelevant.
And lectures................. please don't get me started on that either! I pays my money, I play my way.
In the later stages of a tournament, when the binds are big and I dont want anyone to attack me, if the table folds round and I have Aces, I always show it, same with any decent hand.
If I show them Ace 2 for example, not only am I putting doubts in their head about stealing next time, Im basically saying to them "if you shoved I would have called"
This gives them an idea of my calling range - thus will make them re-assess their shoving range, and hopefully buy myself abit more respect on the BB - as they know they are gonna get called/re-popped wide! - (I know this isnt the case, but it's in the back of their head)
Going the other way and showing 7-2 is suicide, its just taunting them to steal next time. As there are 3 million more bad hands in poker, than good ones, using the taunt show to induce a shove blind, is a krazzyyyyy move
I hate raising hitting 2 pair with my AK on the flop pushing all in to stop anyone on a draw and them calling and hitting a runner runner. When i do it i never hit whats that all about!!!!!!!!!! But worst of all i hate people that laugh at you when you get sucked out on and knocked out of the game then say 'bye' ooooohhhhhhhhh it makes my blood boil. Have the decensy to be happy that you took my chips and not rub it in my face as if your better than me cos you made a donk call and got lucky. Posted by Dazler
The amount of times my language has turned sour in a chat box because of this. Im a nice guy but i hate arrogance.
Players who join a cash table and don't click the 'wait for Big Blind' button and are then away from the table. All the table then has to wait hand after hand for their timer to run down until they eventually get to their turn in the BB.

couldn't agree with you more, as a relatively tight player anyway (and undoubtedly known for that style), i will always show my hands if i raise and get no callers to show what i have raised on so that they know but none the less, the 9/4 off bb show merchants are not making any changes to my game or approach to their play. just because they had 9/4 off that hand doesn't make me think that is what they have on the next!
flush draws, people who put there whole tourny on a b l o o d y flush draw. not even the nut flush draw!!! whats wrong with playing with made hands!!!! it makes me mad i tell ya , very very mad
people that say "ouch"---or chuckles--- or thunderous appause!!! Posted by oynutter
This is because people are playing via their tv's and not computer so full chat is not available however they have 5 or 6 'standard' responses such as 'thunderous applause' and 'chuckles'...when they eventually play on the computer they usually pop up on the forum at some point
don't care!--I'll fluppin kill the flopwits!!--- It takes aproximately 6000 people to create thunderous applause, how can you get it on a six handed fluppin table where no-one else can see your floppin cards?---flopwit dingdongs I tell you!!!

Had to add this one....when you have pushed all in with a good hand like AA or KK and someone calls you with junk, they hit the miracle cards to win (that's not the part) ....and someone says "NICE HAND!" and they reply "TY" ....It was NOT a nice hand..it was a **** lucky flop you donk!!!! when people tell them its a nice hand they are then basically being told "yes, that was a great call!" and continue to call with junk! sigh!

I'm with you here. Had AA - all in post flop (Jack high - 2 suited). get called, great I think. Then he procedes to get a flush (9 high!) using the thurn and river! says "lol". "lucky" i say. and he replies "no". No!!!!!!
Keeps happening to me with aces - so I hate them also!

Yeah thats when i pop it on mini view so I don't get myself a chat ban! hahaha
Hi logdon, I don't show my hands - keep them guessing i say! lol I have actually shown a couple but to a couple of mates when I seem to get killer cards only on their blinds so they can see I'm not just being mean I don't think there is anythng wrong with showing hands after a raise and a re-raise...it was more when you fold your small blind to the big blind and they keep showing you what junk cards they have because either way I was gonna fold anyway - It doesnt normally bother me cos I just get on with the game but every now and then when I'm not in the right mood I wanna shout " I DON'T CARE WHAT CARDS YOU HAD!!!!" (but I dont lol)

Does my head in!!!!!!

Or deal too slowly.
Or are too scored to apply the house rules and rely on the regulars to do it for them instead.
Edit: sorry I've been on my soap box tonight!
2. people that say nothing for the whole game and people that say too much
3. regular players that constantly say how bad everyone is in a live game cos they are losing
4. The waiter service at casino's and how long it takes to get a pint when in a torny
5. Dealers and players that look at you to give a tip every time you win a hand in cash games (its my money sod off)
6. when a player comes in doubles up then leaves after you have taken 2 hours to build up your chips
7. When you have just raised and someone goes all in for 500quid and a player who isnt in the hand askes for a clock
8. When a dealer flips over a card and its re dealt when you were holding Pocket As
9. People talking in a different language in the chat box about you
10. People that touch my chipstack at a live game
