Imagine how much the floorstaff like her.

I still find the "that's what I put you on" guy to be one of my biggest peeves when playing.

New pet peeve. Young snot nosed punk kids who disrespect their mom at the table.

Playing 1/2, kid and his mom sit down it's the kids 18th birthday or something. Kid pretends like he knows what he is doing but he's terrible (i.e. plays home game for nickels thinks he knows the game). Mom truly has little idea but is having fun and seems like a really nice lady. She takes down a few pots and the whole time kid is berating his mom on every hand. He's being really ugly.

I kept looking around for Dad and resisting the urge to smack this punk upside his head. Kid busts out 3 times and mom rebuys for him. Mom leaves with about what she sat with after half an hour or so.

Maybe because my mom passed recently, but I've never been so ticked at a poker table.

Hey, dude, sorry to hear about your loss. Some people are just too rude and don't even realize what they have till it's gone. Take care, buddy.

I NEVER complain about that and it surprises me lots of ppl do, even though it happens A LOT to me, sick sick beats. I'd just hide away and smash some doors or something hahaha, never give the donkey a heads up.

Should have smacked him, then banged the mom.

When people ask me what I do for a living.

The walker is one of my biggest pet peeves. Comes back just in time to avoid being picked up, then walks away again after a few hands.

One time I was playing 2/5 at turning stone, where on weekdays there is typically one 2/5 game. A walker has a seat locked up, there are 4 or 5 on the list. The table starts talking about picking him up as he missed an entire down, and wasn't back when the new dealer stepped in. Of course he shows up right then.

1 or 2 hands later we are both in mid position (he is next to me on my left) someone raises in EP and the player to my right jams his short stack (about 150/175ish) if I remember correctly. I look at JJ and cap it and start thinking. Looking to my left and at the original raiser. After about 20 seconds the walker starts bitching about people tanking and folding and blah blah blah. I thought for about a minute and folded, figuring I was flipping and best dominated at worst.

Next hand or so he starts saying that the dealers do not deserve a tip every hand, and that they are dummies and anyone could do their job, blah blah blah. I can see the dealer is offended but remains professional and courteous.

I am a friendly player and it's rare that someone tilts me but this ******* tilted the **** out of me. Of course I couldn't bust him because he was walking again.

This is a 'peeve'? More like a 'want' to me......

What he said. These guys aggravate me - I guess there trying to make Comps ??

[QUOTE=gamboolman;51486841] I've noticed some dealers getting very quick at changing their status on the little Bravo pad they have...not so quick if it is the rare step away for a bathroom break but quite rapid when it is a known walker...

"Walker" lol. Next time shoot it in the head. Done.

Oh wow... it never occurred to me this is why this happens! nice call!

How do you all feel about first timers or ones that might not have all the lingo or etiquette down. For example not knowing the correct amount to call or folding out of turn or not knowing their position because it's all new to them? It's a peeve but I also want to help these people.

I played with one guy who totally faked the above too. Mainly to get people to call only to take it down.

He stacked his chips all crazy in only 10's and always asked if it was his turn to act, what the bet was. Guy took the table for about 300 and got up and left. Totally an act. Seen the guy in another casino and was solid totally different.

He knew exactly what he was doing.

Yeah, I hate ppl like that, pretenders. Just play your damn game and stop being slimy about it. Just like those bums that arrange their chips in shady ways, hiding their big chips on the bottom or behind a red stack. Total slime.

Deliberately misrepresenting your stack size is defintely a no-no...but are you guys saying you are annoyed at poker players who use false tells to misrepresent their level of thinking? Wouldn't that be....almost every player?

Of course not, everyone's game for that, I think we're talking about fools acting like the poker equivalent of Columbo hahaha.

Another pet peeve: inefficient poker rooms. Why does it take FOREVER for some places to admit players, open tables? It's so annoying when there's no real reason.

Always pretty quick where I'm at as long as you call ahead.

But I get your beef man if I see empty tables and people standing around to play I would question it too. It's probably a staffing issue for dealers.

If you watch the supposed neophytes and listen to them, they give away their true status. It doesn't take very long.

i.e. blonde woman trying to play the "confused new player act" -- while the guys were suckered into her "I forgot, is a flush better than a straight?" question to a dealer when the action was on her and the board had both possibilities (she waited for the answer, then bet), I had already noticed her deftly riffling stacks of chips. Hello, guys -- non poker players aren't born rifflers... haha.

another one:

Guy playing totally maniacal -- pretending he doesn't know that the action is on him, asking what his options are each time the action is on him, and making absurdly large bets. Meanwhile it's 95 degrees outside in the middle of a 10 month long hot and humid Florida summer and he has had the forethought to be wearing a woolen scarf to keep warm in what is a notoriously cold poker room.

Meanwhile, I have no issue helping out truly new players -- I want them to have a good time and to come back.

Imagine if you've got 8 dealers and enough people to fill up 10 tables. How many tables do you open up? If you say 7 or 8, you eventually lose all your good dealers and your room becomes crap. For the health of your room, you open 6 tables.

^ what? You will lose your good dealers by allowing more of them to deal and get tips than by making some of them sit and earn minimum wage while players are forced to wait??

The floor needs to know the room.

If you're suggesting that a floor always open up tables to max out dealers and thus create a non-rotate non-break situation then yes, that would be bad for the dealers.

If you're suggesting that if you max out tables with no regard for 'normal' player turnover, then I can give you some props since the last thing a player wants is to be put on a table and then it breaks shortly thereafter. Obviously if you have a must move policy then a reg should be used to moving anyway. GL

People on your left who ask how much you're playing multiple times / every single time you open, die.

I really dislike it when dealers complain how long it has been since their break. Usually the floor comes over, tells the dealer something, dealer is silent, then when floor walks away the dealer spends the next few minutes muttering about their break. My working assumption is that you'd rather be anywhere but at this table dealing to me, but don't confirm it for me, thanks.

One of mine is unwelcoming players who are inconsiderate. They take up more space than they need, both cup holders, legs all spread out and you have to wedge in between two guys like this at a corner seat. This guy also puts his empty drink in your spot before you get there and doesn't take it back if the server hasn't made a round yet..
