Commenting on someone's hand, play, or possibilities while they're all in waiting for other players to call or fold loud enough for someone still in the hand to potentially hear it.
Other night I'm just under half a stack at table cash game, my K10 hits a 10 on flop, and K on turn with flush and straight draws out there. Two fishy players (one who isn't folding much and chasing everything and hitting everything) and one nitty fish whose played like 3 hands the past 4 hours are all left to act after me. And hell I've been folding for hours so I'm making a move here it's obvious I've got something worth shoving and this table has been full of loose chasing horrible odds.
I shove rest of my stack in which is a little more than the pot size. Never fold big stack fish thinks for about 3 min then folds. Other fishy guy tanks for a min or two then folds. Cue last guy to act, nitty fishy who sits there for about 5 more minutes debating. I've been staring at the felt for least 8-9min in silence....nice guy and thinking player two seats over looks at me and goes "oh wow and you still have one more player to get through..."
Nitty fish looks up, looks at the guy who comment, looks at me, looks at stack, tanks for another minute or so then calls and shows KQo for a pair. River is a J giving him gut shot straight. Nice guy immediately goes "wow that was bad, sorry I shouldn't have said anything."
I mean I don't know if the comment gave the nitty fish the courage to call with a pair and a gut shot out or if he was going to call anyways but still don't talk about the hand when you're not in the hand and someone is all in waiting. I mean nice guy apologized but still...don't do that. Even if it doesn't change the outcome, if you're not in the hand your table talk should not be to the players in the hand or commenting on the hand.
Watching an obnoxious ultra NIT get paid off by a drooler has to be one of the most difficult things to watch.
Board will be something like AKTxA and three of a suit on the board. The NIT will have bet the whole way, check-raised the turn and overbet the river. The drooler goes into the tank with a hand like K9 until time is called, until finally calling. No flush draw at any point in the hand either. That one time I gave him **** like, wtf are you doing calling? "I paid for the king" and I told him there was absolutely zero hands he was beating but I don't think that went to his head.
We're talking about a true LIFE NIT here. Someone who goes south, someone who limp/calls AK, JJ and raises 8x with KK+.
? I see it all the time. Sometimes they switch tables and put money in pockets, sometimes they leave and come back after 20 minutes. Often those that outright put chips in their pockets are newbies and when you call them out you have the table pounce on you not to make the "newbie" mad because he's a bad player and bound to dump it back.
Old hags in daily turbos that come to kill time (and not to win money), limping every. ****ing. hand. 4 BB's left facing 2 limpers with pocket Kings? LIMP. It's so satisfying to see them get cracked by the BB who wheeled up with 5-3 off suit.
Speaking of, you haven't seen someone go south outside of a casino in probably ten years amirite?

newsflash, he's talking about getting your dick sucked, not taking chips off the table. if it had happened in the last ten years you'd probably have gotten the joke.
AlwaysFolding: Good point. Let's include the anti-tilting things in here. As long as the poster disclaims at the beginning (non-tilt). I am sure most things that are tilting have been mentioned here already.
Players being f kn nits and still getting paid.
Banging hands/chips on the table after losing a hand / generally being stroppy like a toddler.
People being in awe of someone just because they won a massive pot which was a cooler.
Anyone's opinion on a hand in a 1/2 game.
Rude floorpeople.
Limp/reraising.
Minraising.
Ratty regs.
(Can you tell I've played a lot of live poker lately?)
The main cashier at almost any casino... specifically the Borgata.
The degens taking their cash advances and getting their thumbprint taken, the old people with myriads of slot tickets, the rail birds hoping for a handout, and the crackheads jumping line to line hoping to get their chips cashed in faster. I'm convinced the casinos place some of the people here to delay me from cashing out and I usually just find my way back to a table to cash out 'when its less crowded' and it never ends well.
Pro Borgata tip : Go to the poker room cage. You're right, their main cage is the nut low in all the casinos I've ever been too.
BB: "play or chop?"
SB: "play"
Player across the table: "You can chop, means you take your money back and we move on to the next hand"
Another player: "what do you want to do? chop chop?"
SB: "I want to play"
SB limps.
Flop, turn and river gets checked down. SB tables KQ high, and scoops the $8 pot ($1 rake, $1 BBJ).
