This is what i was about to say, in a sng with 25/50 blinds, he counts out 5 '10' denomination chips to 'get rid of them' ( has a stack of '50' chips)

The way some people will never instamuck when i catch them bluffing and have to talk for a while before giving you some bs story about folding second nuts/ having a tell on me

When someone is against in a short stack in a pot and dramatically says 'all in' while pushing in all his chips which takes ages to clear up again no matter the result of the hand

You can end the madness by turning over your cards ...

I hate it when someone says "raise","reraise"or "bet" and it's considered to be the wrong word and someone takes the time to hold up the action to explain the difference. It doesn't matter what they say you understand what their action represents just let it go stop wasting everyone's time the person will never understand it anyway.

1. People who constantly "whisper" to their neighbors about how people play when everyone can hear them.

2. People who are awkward with handling chips... ie. splashing pots, having to count the chips constantly instead of using the stacking method etc...

3. People who table talk and insist that they can say "whatever they want" after I inform them that they cant talk about a hand currently in play.

He said he called the person down so he doesn't have to show first. His second post is consistent with his first but your attempt at being witty has failed.

Staredowns are stupid no matter who the caller or bettor is... Slowing the whole game down to prove a point or "teach someone a lesson" (the whole "I called you" BS) is just as annoying as the bettor not turning his hand over immediately. I stand by my post.

I go with people take forever on a 20 dollar bet into a 50 dollar pot asking the people behind him if they're going to call and when the dealer tells him he can't talk to the other players he says I can say whatever I want lol.

Also players that go all in over my raise and when I call and lose ask why I'm not showing and talk crap about it.

He obviously is one of those people who doesn't like showing hands if he doesn't have to or isn't holding the nuts. There was nothing hypocritical in his post he was giving an example of it if anything.

At 1/2 NL...people who count by 5 or 10 with their red chips to call a $125 bet.

1) Slow rolling. Well, I'm used to it, but at the casino I go to like 90% of the players slow-roll. But they are the biggest idiots in the world, so sometimes I think they just don't know they have a hand.

2) Table captains. "You should have done this...." "I knew you had this...." "He obviously had that...." "When I was in Vegas...." "I have won x tournaments and I know how to play this kind of hand...." etc.

3) Hollywooding tooo much, when it is SO obvious that they will fold.

4) "Ship it!!!!!!" after every time they win a hand

5) People who brag about never tipping the dealers.

I concur. So I'll add:

When a horrible regular yells at another terrible player for not misplaying his hand the way the reg would have butchered it himself.

--> Anyone who harasses a live one.

This tilts me everytime. I run a 3 barrell bluff representing an obvious hand and the donk in the game calls the river bet with middle pair saying " I know I am beat but I gotta call...."

Well, if you know you are beat....Why are you calling, donk?

I always wondered if this upset people. When at a 1/2 game full of poor tippers, I will tip the dealer in the Dark before the hand is dealt b/c He/She is getting screwed by the nits. Although it usually makes me play the hand with Any Two cards, which brings the "How can you play those cards?" speech. Does tipping in the dark piss people off? I am no balla but hate seeing a guy win a huge pot then not tip.

1) Anyone wearing sunglasses in 1/2 NL game should be shot immedietely.

2) Take a shower before you come to the poker room.

3) People who have no concept how rare the BBJ is. These are the same people who dont realize both players will be all in anyway so dont worry about every $30 pot.

I think what tilts me the most is when the person to my immediate right takes a long time to look at his cards and act after its folded to him. Every time.

Also when someone starts talking **** to a donkey, and the donkey requests a table change.

Playing pai gow one night after 15 minutes of if this would have came, I would have......... I look at the girl and say "If I would have invested in microsoft 20 years ago, I wouldnt be sitting here listening to you!!!
