tanking forever in a small buyin donkfest , happened last night a guy who acted like a poker pro tanked in 3 different hands in an hour for 2-3 mins in marginal spots while talking the whole time trying to get "reads" from some old people who don't give a **** about the tournament and are just there to get away from home, then a spot comes where i shove ~9bb to his min raise later in tournament literally tanks 4 minutes while staring at me asking me what i have and if i want a call etc and finally folds.

i mean the levels are 20 mins buddy and in one more level we will all have 5bb, **** off

also idiots like me who don't call the clock when it's needed tilt me ldo

No you wouldn't.

I've said worse. This would be tame.

Lol. He actually used it correctly.

intersecting or lying at right angles

Actually yeah that is kind of annoying

In case anyone is still wondering, when someone stacks their chips in a row from the edge of the table up towards the betting line. So instead of stacking them left to right, they stack them front to back, making a great wall hiding their ****ing cards on one side or the other.

Why didnt you clock him?

When you're thinking about a big decision on what to bet/call and the dealer keeps tapping the felt in front of you 'to remind you its your turn to act'

+1 mirrion

i generally act very fast, but every time im in a legit tough spot (like once in hours) the idiot is like "its on you sir" in 20 second intervals till i fold/call... i mean what the ****

In this spot, I've looked the dealer in the eyes and said "One person to a hand sir. I'm thinking."

They do not like that.

If a dealer does that you should tell the houseman, bc they're definitely not allowed to do that. Once just to make sure you know it's your action of course, but after that they definitely aren't allowed to prod people in that manner.

The houseman would for sure give them **** for doing that.

I've seen it, but on the river, if I know I'm never raising, just deciding between a fold and call I verbally say, "I know, I'm thinking." Sometimes they're just making sure you know it's on you, they're not pestering you to act.

When the dealer just came from an action table and is pestering everyone about how boring this table is currently playing.

Old people that hog up corridors walking real slow.

Crowded buffets.

People that cram the elevator, pressing a whole bunch of floors between current floor and my destination, delaying my gambling time on the process.

do you play at a casino that's the size of a shoe box? or do you just like to walk through the slot machine aisles? Crowded buffets? gtfo or get VIP kid

and people cramming the elevator? pressing multiple floors? Take the stairs fatboy, you'll live longer.

If you were in a casino, YOU'D tilt me.

My mental picture sees MTT stuck behind geriatrics at Luby's before walking back to his high rise apartment and having to stop several times on the way up delaying his cheeseburger stake login procedure.

I could be wrong.

i picture MTT being a self-centered child

He does seem a bit high strung. You need to read "dont sweat the small stuff"

How dare these other people want to walk through the casino and use the elevator! It tilts me just thinking about it.

I imagine mtt must punt off stacks on the regular

For all of what? $5?

When on the weekend daytime, casinos are crowded with uneducated, low limit playing, slot playing peasants. Like, go to the ****ing mall or something.

make it stop

mtt has to enjoy going to a casino to find things that tilt him so he cant post itt more than enjoying anything else at he casino
