He would make this huge scene about counting all his outs and letting everyone know after every hand he lost/folded why he called or folded.
Ditto on a guy at a local game I played for the first time Friday. Running on 3 hours of sleep, my tolerance for his 30 minute monologues, hand guessing, analysis, and storytime was pretty low. He loved making "Hero" calls and explaining them when the board bailed him out. He's mid 40ish and saying "Ship it" after winning a hand. AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGG! Me being the new guy, he was kind enough to invite me to the PLO game in that "hey fish, come play" manner.
Anyhoo, 2/5 NL I'm at ~200 (down from 300 buy in) when 4 limp including bigshot and I check my BB w/Td8d. Flop is Tx5h3h. I lead for 15, 2 calls, bigshot makes a speech and emphatically makes it 75, button folds. I tank and decide he is FOS or drawing and shove for about 108 more. 2 folds and he says to his friend "Heeeeelllllll yeah I'm calling". He shows Tc2c...yes! Board pairs, J on the river, chop it....[censored] me to hell! He says "nice bet,it just wasn't enough ya know?" LOL
Overall the game was good. Nice set-up, a couple of weak spots, the host was super nice (Asian with a southern accent=awesome). Ended up +$165...chopped an $800 pot when I shoved AK on AA9 flop got called by KK and AT. 9 ball on the turn...
