the most annoying thing about online poker...

is damn players with stone aged internet.

every now and then i play against someone who loses connection every few seconds or takes FOREVER to make every decision. of course i get to have all their blinds when they sit out but its just so annoying its not worth the reward of taking all the blinds.

its been happening so much recently im starting to think its some type of petty tactic to make me lose patience lol.

in fact one guy lost like half his chips to me from sitting out. he comes back and calls me a thief. i told him he shouldnt play online poker if hes using dialup from the 90s. its sorta like leaving your wallet on the street...

Happens to me from time to time when I play at work ,frustrating to be that guy as well put in a large bet with a premium hand or the nuts and suddenly the bandwidth on my wireless gets eaten up by a variety of other users by the time i'm back a raise is made and my hand folded. If i notice my internet speed lag a bit I just log off. As to it being intentional - on the rare occasion i'm that guy it is certainly not .

People who multitable 20 games at once and time out every hand !

@op definately gonna need some form of pill if you play live. You think connection time outs are bad.
I'd have to say one of my pet peeves are those "coaches". You know the type the player that berates another players bad plays. I was guilty of it before but now I'm pretty happy if someone calls my AA three bet with 7 2o even if they catch the suckout. I just say NH and wait for another oppurtunity to have them call down second pair to my board overpair or something. What was the saying " Don't tap the fish tank".

This is the most annoying thing you can find in online poker? Just be glad there is a time limit. I don't mind it online, but it happens often live, some idiot always takes forever to bet. And there is no time limit. Now THAT is annoying!

most annoying thing you can find in online poker?................It's a tie between people typing 'zzzzzzzz' or 8 and 9 year old potty mouths calling people names hiding behind their computers...........just my opinion.......

I don't really care if someone gets berated... I really get annoyed when they are running their mouth and have no idea what they're talking about. No understanding of advanced concepts in poker.

Another annoying aspect of online poker....Players who play cash at the micro stakes, and talk like their online pros. Obviously your choice of stakes is directly related to your bankroll, and your poker abilities lol.

i hear ya and you try so hard not to take the bait, but when they throw the donk stuff at you when you beat them ... it's hard to resist and probably they know you are not a donk, but they are trying to get you off your game and distract you

The number one annoying thing about internet poker - The federal government of the United States.

...is that there's barely any of it left. 2005-2006 was just stunning.

The most annoying thing about the government is the hypocrisy. Amnesty for illegals and wall street criminals but the full force of the DOJ is brought down on poker.

Those were the days!!!!!!!!!!! Neteller + poker sites = easy deposits and withdrawals.

Cant say that anything in online poker is really annoying to me.Its just a game. I play for the entertainment and relaxation that it provides

Maybe it's just me, but I think the most annoying thing about online poker is all the groupies.

I agree that ppl with awful connections shouldnt even play, as they hold the game up and therefore that table plays way less hands than other tables. Another awful and annoying thing about online poker, especially nowadays, in tournaments, are sites that don't have synchronized breaks. I'll be multi tabling like 5 or 6 tournys daily, and won't be able to leave my comp for like 7 hours. On FTP and UB and PS, at least they gave us a break every hour for 5 min, where we could quickly grab a bite to eat, or take a piss. Now I have to try to time it where my tables are all folds and I run to the bathroom real quick, but I always end up missing a few hands. #cantwait4legalregulatedUSpoker

People who play a whole bunch of games and always getting timed out. the other is players who call everything and get lucky every dman hand.

[quote=blikbleek;1782045]is damn players with stone aged internet.
naw dude lol bad internet connection isw my nightmare... soo many times my wifi lagged out on a huge poit.. its pretty depressing especially because carbon doesnt really have any protection, but i feel your pain its usually cool when the freerolls and someone is sitting out.

I hate when there is one guy trying to work clock so the blinds go up in there favor. I understand if you are the small blind or the blinds just past you and you let the clock run out, But some people will do this every hand . Its funny when there under the gun and they quick fold becuase the blinds go up shortly. I dont think this helps becuase by the time you get to the bubble everybody hates you and wants you eliminated.

Midy, I agree with you...

I don't think that there is something that really bothers me on online poker. But, I really don't like that on online poker some players talk trash on the chat after losing a hand. This usually don't happen on live poker.

What I find most annoying is sitting at a table, playing a tight game and when I raise i get like 4 or more callers..."WTF!....I have only played 11% of my hands up to this point and you have been here the whole time and you call me with that?"

I like these players - typically 1 or 2 tablers & often are impatient, looser donks playin' too many hands & willing to get it in bad. (the "zzzzzz" to me is them advertising this)

My biggest peeve -> poker networks that don't bother to find out what the players want &/or don't make more of an effort to keep up with the software of the Big3 (or the tourney structures, game selection, etc.). ie. ipoker

My other is > not being able to reach thru screen & grab people by the throat.

In satellite play, this ^ is often the right thing to do. (imo).

for me, it's the $100 1000(or more) entrant freerolls... so much for like $0.20 payout or w.e

players just play awful in them but I guess it's a freeroll so I shouldnt expect much....

That's my #1 too !!!



ROFL !!!

Playing the play money games to work on your skill in PLO, always get idiots who pot every turn.

No what gets me, is when some idiot, thats right idiot joins a table and wants to use vulgar language and call anyone and everyone a name my momma didnt give me, then when you try to use the proper channel to report this, you get the run around. Sportsbook wants you to do thier job and tell them what game number, what hand number and the sub hand number so they dont have to read the text, the way i feel if i had to endure it then you should too. They really should monitor the chat cause some of it is just plain childish and disgracefull. But heres what sportbooks does about it.

Hello, my name is Chester Thomas. I'll be assisting you today.
You: game 39622189, history 39664381 player name is omcpokersteelers
Chester Thomas: Hello Lisa.
You: this needs to be taken care of
You: this is annoying
Chester Thomas: Please give me a moment to look into this...
Chester Thomas: Can I have the Hand ID for this Lisa, cause this game have 10900 hands and it is almost impossible for me to review each hand.
You: it was throughout the entire game
You: from the time he sat down
You: til the time he was knocked out
You: i am in a game i dont have time to go search through the text to read this again, its still on my screen
You: you can see where he was typing i gave you his name, its not that hard
Chester Thomas: No Lisa it is not that easy, the system do not work like this, I need a game number and Hand Id for this, there is not an option for us to search what this player wrote only. As I said before this game had 10 900 hands.
You: i gave u the game number
You: You: game 39622189, history 39664381 player name is omcpokersteelers
Chester Thomas: Yes the game number but that game has 10 900 hands Lisa, we can not review what was written on each hand. And I can not do anything with the player name either. I need both the game number and hand Id.
You: look at 39664381 - 34
You: it was the entire beginning of the game
You: you guys need to improve this, u have a player who is abusive and you have the capability to read the text just like i do i gave you the game number and hand number, just start from the begfinning
You: i am losing my game, playing around with you
You: this is a waste of time to even talk to you guys
You: i will just tell my fellow players how useless it is to try to resolve these issues on this site
You: thanks for not helping as usually
Chester Thomas: I am sorry to hear you say that Lisa, but you did not gave me the Hand number before, just the game number. I will create a ticket for this to be reviewed by the department in charge.
You: if u look at the beginning of the text u will see i gave u all the info, just start at 1 and work you way through he was very rude the entire time
You: like i said thanks for nothing
This has ended up being a mute conversation and a waste of my time.

I don't get it??
You waited til' after a zillion hands, then report the player's chat after he's KO'd? Why not just mute them?

The most annoying thing about online poker is...
