| Things said at the poker table that should be banned: These ones come from my home game just wondering if you have any things that people say that you hate??? I called because they were suited, I called because I had money in the pot, I called because it’s my favourite hand, Hold up just one time, I know I’m behind but I call. The Muppetteer |

| Personally, I'd ban just two things: 1. Singing The Gambler at the table. Especially if the only words you know are "You've gotta know when to hold 'em". And especially especially if you can't sing. 2. Saying "What's the minimum bet". /dealertilt |

| 1. Well i didn`t put you on that. (obviously) 2. i`m sorry, is it my turn? (pay attention!) 3. I knew you had it. (then why`d you call silly!) 4. Any chat between Asian guys in between hands in a foreign language. I always hear this in AC. WTF are they talking about? ( Look at this donkey in the 3 seat. I`ll be spending his cash tonight! ha ha ha) |

| My home game..."John! It's your turn!!!" John responds "Huh?" Guys that see him during the week swear that he's coherent at other times. Then, come Friday night, he's like a zombie! It wouldn't be so bad if he also wasn't the luckiest human being on the planet. |

| 'ALL IN, ALL IN !' or 'COME ONE' or other incitations like that ! Or even those that are discussing of the hands of other players at the table (mostly when I'm one of the other players that go on playing the hand) ... Another one - just for online games : "Would you let me see your cards if I fold now ? I'm sure you do a bluff !" (Why don't you follow me in that case ? ). Last I've seen : "With so many chips in his bankroll on this tourneys, this guy can't be a donk !" => That after only 4/5 turns and the discussed guy has 6000 for a start stack of 1500 =====> Why can't he be a donk ?! Or the contrary "Oh, this guys has only 500 remaining chips, so he his a donk that was beat by a good player !" => Illogic deduction based on a short experience Others ? I'm sure yes, but I've not anymore in mind currently What a funny subject ! Excellent idea : "muppetteer" Cheeers, Stef |

| re: Things said at the poker table that should be banned: How much is the bet?How many people in the hand? and evenHow much you got left? after every hand they play in drive me nuts on top of all the ones that have been mentioned above.Not paying attention really aggravates me. I have a small tolerance for stupidity. LOL |

| "I'm gonna call — because I'm drunk." --This actually happened to me at a charity card room. Needless to say, I lost the hand. Good thing I was freerolling. This may surprise some people, but I would also ban people from saying "Nice hand" when they clearly don't mean it. I understand etiquette and all that, but I would rather people not say anything than force themselves to call someone's big suck-out a "nice hand." Say something like "That's poker" or "it happens" instead. |

| re: Things said at the poker table that should be banned: Why would you want to discourage any of these things? Basically they all boil down to the same meaning; "I'm a bad player and over the long run you'll win all my money." BTW my absolute favorite thing to hear is "I played [whatever trash I just beat you with] because 3s / 6s / hearts / whatever are HOT tonight". The proper response to this stupidity is of course, "Yeah, I've noticed that too." |

| Im plain sick of hearing the word donkey used as poker terminology. Everyone seems to use the term which makes it meaningless. I guess everyone who plays poker is a donkey. Used to only hear it online, but the term is now used in all the live games i play as well. |

| Yes, you're right ... When the result is not "logic" with the cards of 2 opponents and then someone says NH ! I think it's ridiculous ... I seen someone with 2 clouds Flop : 1 cloud between A/J/10=> All in Followed by someone else that has QK Turn : One cloud River : One cloud And then everyone say : NH !! It is not a nice hand, and hearing that (mostly if I'm the one with straight) make me feel nervous/hangry ! You're right, I've forgotten that in terms I would like not to hear (or read) on a tourney Cheers Stef |

| "Who cares,it's only a freeroll." or "Who cares,it's only $x (1,2,3 or5)." It's like poker doesn't matter unless you have big money in it.Some people forget that not all of us are in this to get rich or to quit our jobs.Some of us are playing because of the game and enjoy poker. If we wanted to crapshoot a few dollars away, I think the lottery pays better on a couple dollar tickets. |

| I LOVE hearign those phrases, mostley because they are said to justify a bad call as I am stacking thier chips. I just smile at them and say "Oh I understand, I might have done the same thing if it were me". I try to never discourage bad play at the tables, Thats what this forum is for. |
