And ironically enough, he busted me the same way.
Ya this guy does not shut up and constant name dropper, so ****ing annoying.. i think i even seen online on time and he would even stop there blowing up the chat box.....

The guy who constanly has to be reminded to put his blind/ante in. I mean how hard can it be to remember that your on the sb/bb or that we have been playing with antes for the last 2 hours but still fail to put it in every sodding time.

The guy who gets annoyed by everything everyone else at the table does because he is a prick that has no social skills due to the fact that he plays internet poker and reads 2+2 for 16 hours a day and has, for some reason, decided to torture himself and grace everyone else with his presence (and negative attitude because he is an emo POS) at the local b&m casino.

The poker police.

The guy who says, I'm not going to call, but that was a string bet. (It was, but does it matter if you're folding to any amount?) Asking for a ruling when you're not in the hand. Doing the dealers job in any way, especially when it has absolutely no impact on them. It's live 1/2, it's full of downies, it's just not going to run like HSP.

I think you guys are forgetting someone very important. The A-Holes who call for a setup every opportunity they get. There's an even bigger A-Hole who after listening to the explanation that the table just had a setup proceeds to purposefully damage a card. Or the A-Hole who calls for a setup so he can go to the bathroom/smoke a cigarette without missing a hand. I sat at a Commerce NL table once and saw 3 setups in less than two hours. Unreal. Do people go to the casino to play cards or to watch the dealers check and shuffle cards around?

the guy who tries way way way too hard to say something funny and ends up being like 5000000x less funny than the op.

The guys who said damn I had the [Insert nuts here] I wish I didn't fold. He calls out every time he folds a hand that would have hit the flop nicely. IE. He folds 23 and 233 hits the board. He may scream a little.

People who get offended about not chopping...

I was at an Indian casino in Oklahoma (clearly where the most stereotypical 'that guys' occur...) and I was heads up in a $25 tournament against Deb, some fat 40-something who recently got laid off from the cereal factory. The day after she got laid off, she started telling people that she was a professional poker player. After I refused to chop with her then lost heads up, she said "That's the difference between someone who plays to live and lives to play...he just wanted to play for longer, I needed the guaranteed paycheck."

It's impossible to hit a set w/ KQ. Just thought you should know

there is a guy at my home game who bitches about every single outdraw he gets. Ex. one guy limps, he limps with AA, guy from bb raises, original limper calls and he calls.

Flop comes 10 4 3 with 2 diamonds(my friend in the pot has 2 3 of diamonds.) Him obviously not caring about his horrible play with AA preflop is completely irate when my friend hits one of his 14 outs on the turn.

He will then bitch about these outdraws for the rest of the night, but as soon as he calls a pre flop raise with 94 of clubs and then calls a pot size bet heads up on an AJ7 rainbow board, turns the ten of clubs for gut shot and a flush draw and calls another pot size bet only to river his GD flush all he can say is, "how can i fold that turn, i had a ton of outs.

I don't like this guy at all, but I dont want him to leave my home game.

Summary: People that think "they played their hand perfectly" and win, but when they lose it has nothing to do with how they play, it has everything to do with how bad you are and why they should be millionaires.
