i despise a sloppy drunk at my table. it's not worth the money he's giving to it.

i also detest limpy games because they also tend to be checky games and make it hard to win money games.

Going into a card room that you don't usually play at. All the regs soft play each other. IMO that is collusion. On the up side, they all think they are better players then you are just because they see each other play all the time.

Minimum buy-ins of less than $100 in a 1-2 nl game or $300 in a 2-5 nl game.

Bring some money or don't play.

The walk from the parking structure to the poker room always annoys me. Being next on the list for a game and seeing open seats in that game but not being able to sit until the call it

The guy who overlimps like 3/4 people then a raising war breaks out and it's back on them and they tank forever whether to call an all in bet with whatever they limped with. They never call. Just fold FFS.

Along these same lines, players who don't use the time someone else was tanking to figure out their action irritate me. If someone takes a minute or two to decide what they're going to do, you should be able to at least have some idea of what you're going to do rather than tank for as long as the other guy did.

Losing money on slots while I wait for my seat

The commute

Tony G wannabe

Getting carded

Sick people

people that cause a scene over nothing

everything else people said

People always asking the dealer, "How much is the bet?"

Sometimes the player is closer and it is really obvious what they bet.

Dealers who aren't fundamentally sound.

Players who talk about how poor they are/sob stories.

Note: I have nothing against people who aren't well off or who are going through tough times. Just don't make me feel bad for winning pots against you.

The showdown dance where everyone is determined to see all other hands before they show theirs, regardless of prior action. It even seems to have infected all-in situations in tournaments based on my recent experiences, which is absurd since all hands need to be shown anyway.

I'm so skilled at being the first person to show when my king-high is good in a five-way checked-down pot that I sometimes announce to the table my belief that I have the best hand.

This annoys me, so I avoid it by always showing first.

I see this all the time in limit games. Sigh

There is a guy in a private game I play in occasionally that does this every single time (how much). Every time theres a bet he asks the dealer how much. Sometimes he'll ask a few times while he's tanking. For some reason it really tilts me.

Yes, I have as well in limit tournaments and very often it is a NLHE guy.

It is just the default expression for disgust at facing a bet

I'm a hater of this as well. One thing I've seen a few times recently is the dance and then a player shows and a player with a losing hand, shows his cards

People with poor hygiene or being wedged between two fatties. A table of slowpokes is tilting too.

I hate these guys too, they are usually looking at sports on a tv screen or talking some game stats or something, but they deal cards fast so they act like youre the one slowing the game up if you take a second while they arent looking at the tv.
