When daniel negreanu does that fake accent when talking to asian/foreign players. So condesending and cringy.

Or actually just anything daniel negreanu says or does.

People who wait for the 0,12€ change from the pizza man, rather than just telling him to keep it.

Negreanu can induce a lot of cringe.

Also, Polk when he pretends to be a lesbian.

after watching LAPC ft, players who do nothing but stare at you for 20-30+ seconds with 102o before folding preflop to a raise, over and over

Most cringe-worthy thing to me is when some nerd with the corniest smile in a tournament yells “one tiiiiime.” Somehow every guy who does this looks the exact same too. It wasn’t even remotely funny 10 years ago, yet there are still guys who you can’t even look at because you’re so embarrassed for them still doing this.

That German EPT guy who breaths heavily every single hand and tanks for minutes at a time.

A lot of things make me cringe, including the fact that a lot of things make me cringe

No problem, it's not original.

Edward G. Robinson used it in The Cincinnati Kid:

"How the hell did you know I didn't have the king or the ace?"

"I recollect a young man putting the same question to Eddie the Dude. 'Son, Eddie told him, all you paid was the looking price. Lessons are extra.'"

The tilt room on 2m2mm.

Every single punishment on 2m2mm. Except Dani's dress, that was pretty good.

People that put the arm on their shoulder. You're not Fedor Holz. Some guys do it at 1/2 cash games and it's just so tilting.

Anyone who unnecessarily slows down the action in live games. Among the worst are the guys who every ****ing time wait until it’s their action preflop to slowly read their cards. Put a chip on them. Tank 20 seconds. Sigh and fold.

People who sit down in low stakes games but won’t post until the BB gets to them and use that time to aggressively stare and everyone while crashing their chips together as loudly as possible. Lol jerk... is that what you came here to do? post your $3 and play

I don’t hate poker players at all, never said that. I hate people like you who play poker and have no shred of perception of fair play. Not the same thing at al

No. 1 on my personal cringe list: the sound of people chewing. Can't stand it. And not just at the poker table – I'll skip through scenes in TV and movies to avoid the sound. Speaking of movies, it's why I don't see them in the theater, too. I have various forms of misophonia when it comes to mouth-related sounds, but chewing tops the list.
