When I say nice hand I just very loosely mean good job. Doesn't matter if it's a bluff or quads its just like "whatever" but instead of whatever I say "nice hand".

Also I hate the tapping the table after winning a pot, I thought that was supposed to mean nice hand, like saying you win.

Always mini tilts me, especially when they do it before/during showing the hand so I'm still figuring out if I'm beat and .. Kind of feels like a slowroll sometimes.

ahhh, okay. That makes sense.

Yeah, the table tapping after winning a pot is so weird. I hate it when people do that. But I've never seen people do it BEFORE showdown. Are you sure they're not just checking? Or you mean that they tap the table when they're facing a bet from you?

Another thing that (doesn't tilt me, just) I find funny, is when people are first to act after the flop and they announce, "I raise." And I'm like, ".....you're not raising anything, you're just betting." >_< It's amazing how many people say 'raise' when they're the first ones to bet. I see it all the time.

I hate when a reg who will cheer when he hits his 2-outer acts like you killed his dog when you suck out on him on a 70/30 or closer.

That always tilts the **** out of me

People who berate the fish.
People who teach the fish.
People who point out the fish's bad play. (How can you call with that pre-flop?)

Just let the bad players play bad.


Also, dealers who throw things at me and dump over my chip stacks.

It is a raise though, they're raising the blinds. That's why if they get raised it's called a 3-bet.

^^^ wot?

Reading comprehension skills ftw.

Preflop this is correct. They mean Post

He was referring to post-flop blinds

<Insert 4th explain why Boney526 was wrong here>...

Three times just wasn't enough.

Fish aren't people.

Hahahha I did this the other night at the Borgata. Never again.

My mate uses that same line to shut people down, but you gotta know your crowd. He did it at last years main event and the bloke proceeded to pull his recently published book out of his bag, signed it and gave it to him.

Honestly, the things in casinos that tilt me are mostly off the table.

Idiots that can't drive in the parking garage and creep along looking for a spot, then take 5 minutes to massage their car into it. Oblivious pedestrians that step out into the isles without even looking. A group of 4 fat ****s waddling at a snails pace towards the elevators blocking 12 feet worth of walkway after I've had a losing night. The idiot that spends 5 minutes waiting in line for food, but then when he makes it to the counter *still* doesn't know what he want's to order. Etc.

I play with this one reg who swears he knows everyone's hand, and calls out annoying **** like "KJ was good" even when he's not in the hand. It's like, yeah it's 2/5, half the people play their hands face up, you're not ****ing Phil Ivy. ****ing jackass. I would tell him off but he's old and I hate being mean to old people.

i used to play live poker and this old chinese lady would always be at my table, looking at her cards while holding it up in her face (where the guy next to her can easily see them) with this sour expression and every time she gets bad cards or loses, she would throw a big loud tantrum in chinese berating the dealer. she often moves from table to table out of superstition lulz, making it impossible to avoid her by moving tables myself.

then theres this archetypical gambler who i always see when im at the poker room. hes this big slightly overweight guy who always wore a wife beater shirt, has greasy curly hair, constantly talks about the hundreds and thousands of dollars he lost the week before, and when he stares at the cards on the board his eyes would get so facking big and wide (like john juanda x 10) and with this stupid rape face, its hilarious to look at when not at the poker table, but very tilting when in a pot against him.

this was all in 2005, now i play only online poker with the chat off and listening to my trance/dance music. its almost a meditative experience now

Blackjack dealers who flip the cards really slowly/look at the cards and make facial expressions before I can see them.

I've never seen this before lol this would tilt the **** out of me

Worse is when they're lightning fast and you can't even get a sweat.

same.. so much nicer and mellow.. any music suggestions

Got two outted with 20 people left in a pretty big MTT the other day on the river and I was in the 7 seat and the dealer burned and turned so slowly that the other side of the table and the dealer saw the river before I could and it just added to the tilt.

When you see a 5/10 regular sitting at the 1/2 and you ask him what's up, 1/2? And he be like "I'm practicing patience". Lol no you're not, you're broke.

You are easily tilted.

Any pot this one dude wasn't in he would take the chips from other people's bets and help move them into the middle of the table...

First few times I was like whatever but by like the 5th time I asked him if he wants to shuffle and deal as well and he kinda just gave me a blank stare. Of course he stacked me set over set like an hour later. FML
