What Bothers You the Most When Playing?

[crusinnn]

For online it's when ppl just can't fold, don't get me wrong they are good players using different tactics but it just irritates me. For tables it's when a players say "what you got"? I would have showed you if I wanted to lol.

i hate donk players checking raise with 73 or some other no hands and then get some nuts on flop like 2pairs or three kinds or flush

Some good answers there... I think the most annoying thing is when a terrible player calls a substantial raise with complete garbage(J5 offsuit, 92 off), catches a hand, cracks a real hand, and talks smack like they're the greatest gift to poker. You could criticize the poor pre-flop call, but they'll justify to everyone saying, " I won didn't I"!

Internet players at a live table.

Ummm bad beats. I just got 3 outed on the river basically on the bubble in a tourney. Yaa that sucks.

 

[veronica]

I agree with the bad connection Internet that leaves me with those hands away just one expects much.

 

[jcsplus4]

I hate the 55 minutes of no smoking. lol

 

[benspocket]

well i know players hate me becouse i take to much time to react but i dont do it on purpose i have some issues that prevent me to act fast, and i`m sorry for that but what i hate most when playing sng or touneys is when a player does all in with garbage and u call with a good hand and they always seem to go from rags to richers, but like always you always try to look over those donks but its not easy

Given I am a micro buyin player (most times) the allin every hand players bother me most. And bothers me even more if the game is a mtt with unlimited buyins/rebuys.

Amen brother! you should timeout!

I know its not Poker, but my Children make it hard to play, so I tend not too while they are home.

At the Tables. I really dislike Early All-In players or players that just shove anything.

 

[Cooking]

Bad connection when I really want to play poker it's the worst thing.

 

[JCuervo]

Someone saying they're "sorry" after winning when you know they really aren't or going all in multiple time only to eventually lose and then say they had to go anyway.

 

[Farseer]

People calling for some irrelevant reasons. Especially if they don't understand that I don't want to chat with them about something that has no significance while playing for money.

Also hate it when software glitches / network connection (nowadays a great one) or some other reason makes me lose money.

 

[alexis8888]

Unbelievable poker stars bad beats annoy me most of all.

Just a couple threads below https://www.cardschat.com/forum/general-poker-13/what-bothers-you-most-when-playing-258802/ and you didnt see it? Nice thread btw!

 

[mjp33]

most annoying thing? finishing in 11th when top 10 get paid...

 

[theRaven68]

i dont like long blinds, lot of time for thinking, slow reacts, when the same player go allin over and over again, bad connection, software crashes and bad beat

 

[jigglypuff99]

it seems like those poker players that were interviewed are fairly average. that said, the higher than average conscientiousness definitely makes sense.

 

[Wickedestjr]

I dislike when players do not fold to pre-flop raises. It's probably beneficial for me in the long run, but I just wish that I could scare more players out of a pot. There's nothing more frustrating then raising with pocket tens and getting four callers.

 

[ringworm]

I get annoyed when someone loses a pot to a bad player and then tells the bad player what a bad player they are and why their play was so bad. In order to be a winning player, you need other players to make mistakes. If I get my money in as the favorite and my opponent sucks out on me, I congratulate them and pray that they keep making those bad plays against me.

 

[lukeellul92]

the personality of a succesful poker player is someone who remains themselves, even after winning all that money...
Be yourself, it's the best way to be , regardless of occupation or what have you.
I'm a firm believer that you can't box people into certain categories based on surveys like the one listed. Everyones different, you can't weigh it up to averages and say "heres the formula for a succesful yada yada yada"

 

[PLAYINBIG]

Things I do not like
1. Bad Beats
2. Disconnects during a hand
3.Down Swings (when no matter what you do you can not take a hand down)
4.Losing
5.Tilting
6.Being on the bubble after 3 hours of playing a tourney

 

[CSYA14]

Slow players period. Like it takes the full amount of time to fold 72.

 

[Adubzz]

People who tank the entire timebank preflop just to fold.

 

[SerbGangsta7]

Bad beats are the worst they make me make bad judgement calls to regain my stack. Also, feeling sleepy.
