I say this.....

but I don't say this. Agree this is irritating.

You realize that he is most likely looking at the other players looking at their cards to pick up on tells.

IMO the only irritating thing about people saying "big blind special" all the time is watching people fail to make the mental connection that if they PFRd or folded pre, it wouldn't happen. :/

Must... not... tap... glass...

This really shouldnt irritate you too much. It is just a habot for some pople to not look at their cards before it's their turn. It's smart also, since people do tend to give some kind of a tell if they have 93o and dont have any interest in the pot. I do think there is some pretty useful info to be had whether BB is interest or not. It doesnt slow too much as long as the person is quick with his decision and knows what to do with his TJs, or 68s etc.

I tilt really bad to people who look at their cards.. think and look around at people, look at his cards again.. looks at his chips, and then shoots his cards into the muck. And they do this EVERY TIME. It annoys the living jesus out of me.

Raise pot preflop, on the flop you have the nut flush draw, pfr mini-bets the flop, you call with great odds, donk on the BTN mini-raise, pfr shoves all-in, you fold, donk calls the all-in. pfr shows AA, donk shows TPTK, you would have hit your flush on the turn for a 600+bb pot.....wtf nice raise a-hole.

Any player that comments on his holding after the hand is over - especially if this player does it nearly every time. Oh I had a four when the flop comes A44, etc.

Example: I hit a set of nines. Play an interesting hand trying to maximize value against an intelligent preflop raiser. Hand gets to showdown and he can't wait to say...

"AND YOU HIT THE CASE NINE. I FOLDED A NINE!"

Who cares? Really? Who cares?

seen this several times.

the donks just call in position with the nuts

...

FYP.

"How do you not fold XX there?"

The guy next to me that tells me he folded a winner every hand. Cool story bro!

The guy that gets upset when he folds his mid pair to an all in and finds out he would have rivered a set.

Already mentioned but "Good luck all in". This tilts the **** out of me. What if the guy that's all in has the other guy crushed or drawing dead?

"I didn't raise cause he would have folded anyway." When they call behind with the nuts, or a monster hand.

Ooh I got one. People who use that excuse when they called your raise.

when weak regs berate the drunk fish so much that they almost want to leave

Oh and this

o_O

OK, I agree that would be tilting. I haven't seen it personally though. I guess I'm just lucky?

Maybe I don't find this tilting as I mostly play LHE and if the guy is all in he's already lost a rack or 2 and he's only got 1 or 2 big blinds left.

+1 to the guys acting like they're Phil Ivey at the lowest tables possible... Or wearing the shades and the hood in a 30$ buy in tournament... The fkn ****** smooth called my big 3b preflop with 66, I had AK flop came K63. He thought he was a genius for stacking me off there. Oh and he had earphones too, listening to some awesome rap obv.

Hearing this, I totally want to get a stop watch. I hear a bad beat story, I just casually start the timer.

Should I limit it to 7 seconds per story though, or 7 seconds per player? What to do with repeat offenders?

I was playing live a while back when it got to the river and this guy i'd never seen was playing (looked pretty new to the game). The board comes down something like A7856 and he goes into the tank when he's first to act on the river. After about 60-70 seconds, he says "I'm worried you've got the straight" then he insta shoves all his stack into the middle.

I couldn't help but laugh.

This may be nitty but the game in our house is 2-10 or 2-20 spread limit with overs occasionally.

Well the most common bet is $10.00 and I constantly see people bring out $9 to call and cut it in two then move the single chip on the 5 stack to the 4 high stack for some reason...thinking that will make the stacks even again. They tend to do this twice in rapid succession before going to their stack to get the extra $1.

Just amazing to see this happen so much.

That's pure genius. If I'm ever in a similar situation, holding the nut straight and working out my bet size after the river, I am definitely going to be using this line before shoving.

to #4... she knows ur gonna lose and wants to know how many chips ur gonna haveta ship out beforehand

I often say/do many of these tilt inducing things at the poker table to remind the table im a donk/fish/incompetent.

If I can get some 2p2'er to think I'm a n00b, yippieeeeee.

lol check out the guy in the background far left from 6-16 seconds

I love watching old ******s count out a $50 call by taking a stack of reds and laying out 10 one-chip stacks.

"5...10...15...20...25...30...35...40...45...5 0"

Deep in a tourney, blinds 1600/3200, utg makes it 10,000 to go and needs to put it out there in 5x 1000 and then 5 stacks of 100's rather than just toss out two ****ing blue chips. That was time consuming and future messy pile enough but then the BB needed to call him the same way.
There ought to be a fewest needed chips rule.
