Limping/calling all the time.

I'd do that too if I were on a flush draw.

Last night at a monthly tournament. Utg shoves a little less than 2 BB. I call in sb with j6 and bb (the nittiest player I know) folds. Later on in the night he is down to 4 BB and limps Utg and folds to a shove. Talk about bad.

Old nits who donk like 1/7th pot into 4 people on the flop. I'm just going to go ahead and take your "find out where I'm at bet" as a check and bet a decent percentage of the pot to get value from worse in the hand. After doing this twice in the span of like five hands, young wannabe pro kid remarks "that's the second time he's raised the flop. I'm going to pick him off."

lol

Horrible players tell you their hand a lot of times right before they fold. I love that.

Not pay attention to how many chips their opponent has.

Heavyset business man has been potting the flop all night when checked to him, and to his credit taking down several pots. I decide to wait til I have somethin to trap him. Get dealt Aces on the button, limps to me I pop it to 12, 4 callers. Flop is 567 with 2 clubs. I check, businessman raises to 80, which is approximately the size of my one stack on the right of my 100 dollar stack. I call, he lays his 89 off on the table. I say " hey buddy, I've still got chips. Turn is a club, I check he checks. River is a rag club, giving me the nut flush. I stack chips while he looks about as sad as anyone I've seen at a poker table.

Don't know the difference between a bet and a raise.

I don't think the rules stipulate that you can chose only 1.

I have made my selection.

I amend my post. Heavyset bets 30 on the flop, I reraised to 80 by sliding out my smaller stack, still had 100 behind. He called and flipped nut straight. Don't see how I'm terrible.

I'm Ron Burgundy?

In many low-stakes live full-ring games, there are certain players that have such a narrow 3-bet range that it's always wrong to call with--say--QQ, and stack off when you don't flop a set. These guys will usually flat with KK ("because when I re-raise an ace always comes on the flop!").

The other night I was playing 1-2. Straddled pot. Spewy middle-aged Asian guy is first to act and bumps it up to $14. Fold, fold. Nit Kid 3-bets to $35 with such palpable confidence I'm immediately putting him on bullets. Everyone folds back to the Asian guy who deliberates for roughly 10 seconds before making the call. His eyes dart towards Nit Kid as the dealer spreads the community cards across the felt. J 3 7, rainbow. About as dry as you can get. He checks. Nit kid bets like 2/3 pot. Asian dude calls. Turn is a brick. Check, Nit Kid bets pot and is all-in. I can see his heart beating through his hockey jersey (lol live tells). Asian guy thinks for like 20 seconds before making the call. Nit Kid smacks his two red aces onto the felt and announces "pocket aces" in a French-Canadian accent. Asian guy looks stunned momentarily before tossing his two cards into the muck.

After the hand, he says to the guy sitting next to him "I had 10-10s, I had to call there. What are you gonna do, right?" Get me on this guy's left, please.

Stated below are both pet peves and things horrible players do. However, they seem to only happen at the 1/2 nlh cash games. When you move up in stakes, it becomes way less frequent.

1. A player's first buy-in is at the table! This annoys me to no end. Rebuys are one thing, but your first buy in should always be at the cage. The cage is maybe five feet away and they still insist on the dealer taking chips out of the tray. They do this even when theres a list! They just sit and wait by the board. You arent doing anything!! go buy your chips!! It slows the game down considerably and it forces the floor to make fill more frequently. Its gotten to the point that i will tip a dealer a dollar if they ask a new player to go buy chips at the cage.

Side note: Stated above may be a "foxwoods only problem." Ive only been to a few other casinos on the east coast and i found that other casinos ask their players to make the first buy in at the cage.

2. When calling a bet or posting a blind that forces the dealer to make unnecessary change. Example: 1/2 nlh cash game. The big blind posts one red chip ($5) for his bb and has a whole stack of whites ($1) in front of him! Put up your whites. Put two whites in and stop wasting everyones time! I understanding saving a white to tip the waitress or w/e, but if you have 3 or more, post it.

3. They buy in or rebuy in strange/random incraments. Or use non one-hundred dollar bills. Using 20s, 10s, etc... says to me you havent given this much strategic thought or planning. Or they buy in for the minium. Buying in for less then 100bb just screams "I have no confience in my dicision making abilities and plan on losing"

This is a whole lot different in Florida at BestBet. For example, when a new table is started, the chip runners park themselves at the table and get chips for the players as they show up. It's actually a rarity to go to the cage to get your buy-in. Interesting that it's so different at Foxwoods. Atlantic City, I remember, was insistent on you getting chips from the cage.

That's neat, I've never seen chip runners before. Does everybody tip them? If so, that's sucks I would rather go to the cage myself.

I went to AC a few times this summer and was very pleased about how is insistent they were you go to the cage. The Borgota is a great place.

Players that cut out chips in stacks of 2
Like a $100 bet would be 10 stacks.

They're all over the place in LA. And no, not everyone tips them. Certaintly not for a buy in, but they do get tipped more frequently for a color up, or if the do something for the dealer like bring a new set-up or make a fill.

Even so (without tipping) I still prefer to get my own chips. To easy to keep re-buying if you don't "put in the work".

I don't blame you. Unique form of discipline there.
