there are a cpl of lag's that i see at my normal cardroom that drive me nuts. it is mainly because the seem to out flip me on a regular basis lol.

Slow, shortstacking nits.

Not because they are hard to play against. They are just taking up space and most of their money is going to the house anyways.

The ones that 3-bet 4-bet 5-bet 6-bet all the time, i mean all the-time, and they think they are good. I think to myself "go play rock scissors paper for money".

"Damn I hate those who pick rock all the time, i mean all the-time, and they think they are good"

There's something for you to exploit in both strategies

Man, that's twice.
People really hate me!

Players who gamble with money that isn't theirs. Ie this Indian bloke the other day who told the whole table that it was his parents money after his third rebuy after 20 minutes. For my stack they're great. But not when they raise 60 on 1/2 preflop 90% of the time.

Players who take ages for every decision.
Fiddling there chips and constantly looking back at there cards.
Just Fold your fkn hand you donkey!
And stop slowing the game down!

@ 4klove2pokerher. Yeah lol

My list isn't about style of play.

My list is about behavior while playing.

Last time I played in a casino, there was a woman I am pretty sure could be diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Her social skills were nil. She actually gave raspberries to someone at the table (she's older than I am), reacted dramatically on a flop after she folded, and then called the nice young man who (after the hand) gently reminded her not to a "whipernsaper", she over-celebrated wins, and did a funky-odd version of the "it's your birthday" dance.

I dislike a constant stream of sex jokes or vulgar language.

I dislike "percentage droppers." After a hand, when they say "You were like 48.756325 to win that."

I dislike name droppers. I played with a woman at a circuit event who went out of her way to interact with floor staff/Tournament Director just so she could tell them who she knew in the poker world. If they weren't around, the dealer would "do". The same woman had a staples "easy button" and pressed it every time she won a hand. Fortunately, it wasn't often. She busted early, and joined the Senior event. Her most common line (at both tournaments) was "I can't believe you put your tournament life on the line with __________"

Edited to add another: The player (typically male) who takes up more than their share of table real-estate. They do this with their elbows, legs, shoulders, or chips.


I used to dislike the players that immediately targeted women by using poker aggression. But then I observed that it was an +ev skill and it was time to change my game.

Almost every type of player complained about in this thread contains the keys to beating that player within the description, except the ones that say "people who are good at poker"

Does that include the people who take up too much room with their chips?

Of course. Are those chips impinging on your space? Whoops, they just became part of your stack.

You're joking right? Give me one of these on every table I sit at and my life would be so much simpler. And more lucrative - obviously.

The guys that abuse the donators - sometimes I want to poke their eyes out with a stick.

Happened the other night. A really nice older gentleman sat at my table and I started chatting with him. He is well known to the live regs and is 2 things - 1. a really nice guy, and 2. a total donator. The first hand he gets he raises 10x the BB. Young guy two to his left immediately starts abusing him for overbetting, "not playing poker", and called him a f***ing idiot.

I immediately told him he was out of line and asked the dealer to call the floor. Both the dealer and then the floor told him he was completely out of order. Didn't stop the older guy immediately stacking his chips and leaving.

Usually this kind of stuff happens after a suckout but this was straight out of the blue for no reason. What made it worse was that 2 hands later a short stack shoved for 30BBs and the same d*ckhead snap called with AQ and busted the guy's JJ. He got a fair amount of abuse for being such hypocrite/douche.
