No, thats only ur personal perception that is playing tricks on u. If they "always" get to the "final" over a big enough sample then they cant be that bad

What I hate most is the question of it legality. While its not legal to play where I live its not illegal as well. Just stupid politics killing the game.

I just might get tired of moving and in poker, you can play a lot of tournaments, but at an important moment you will be run over with a card or lose an important coin - and the time spent on the game goes into the abyss

Just Govt's being stupid, not progressive and behind the times in thinking. canada for example should have it's own poker site geo-locked only for Canadians with complete Govt regulations and oversight if they don't outright own it and run it. All profits after operating expenses are consider taxes. Keep the current tax laws for rec/hobby players. Which is profits are tax free. Regulated booze and weed are a license to print tax money poker can be as well quite easily.

For Govt regulation the players get security, integrity, safety and a real regulated site to play on where there's actually a place to take ones issues and get them sorted legally by actual law, courts and judges. Imagine online poker with no shady, scummy, trashy and douchebag sites. Oh too dream.

I'd certainly be playing higher stakes instantly on such a regulated site creating more rake/tax money.

EDIT: Imagine the extra hundreds a millions/billions in profits yearly put towards taxes and improving things.

Cheers!!!

I hate that people bring their egos to the table <3 and act like babies when they loose or win <3 It is a game...not something that represents who you are <3 so stupid. OR tell you what they would have done after the hand is played out....like we all do not know what was the right play after the cards are on the table :p Blargen.

<3 Besides that I LOVE THIS FREAKING GAME!! Yes, I am yelling and no I will not apologize :p

It's like everything else in life it all depends on you and how you approach it.
Personally, in poker I like to always be optimistic despite the failures; this is the thing that gives me energy lately.

Poor plays getting there when one has the percentage. Always difficult to get over those bad beats. Losing late in a freeroll and min cashing. Long time-banks are a big bugbear. Poor software. Sites going down. Freezing software. In general tournaments that drag on for hours and hours. In live play being seated with players who think they are playing final table of the wsop and take it too seriously. Unfriendliness at live tables. People at live tables that run good lording over other players.

Most of all, I do not like the time of additional registration, it is clear that this is a business, but three to four hours is too much for the players. Sometimes it seems that Rumma doesn't give a damn about the players.

One of the least favorite aspects of poker for many players is the variance and unpredictability inherent in the game. Despite making correct decisions based on skill and strategy, luck can still heavily influence outcomes in the short term. This variance can lead to frustrating losing streaks or unexpected wins that may not reflect one's true skill level. Additionally, facing opponents who play erratically or make irrational decisions can be challenging and frustrating to navigate. Another disliked aspect is the emotional toll that losing can take, leading to feelings of disappointment, anger, or self-doubt. Overall, while poker offers excitement and the opportunity for skillful play, the inherent variance and emotional ups and downs can make it a challenging endeavor.

What I don't like in poker? No, everything about poker is great, actually! But there is one thing. Just an example: pokerstars and ReplayPoker. In the first poker room wins big stacks with any cards (because the room gets profit when players make as many rebuys as possible), and in ReplayPoker - absolutely fair game, because for the room does not matter whether you win or lose. I just play in these two poker rooms every day and I feel a huge difference. So to answer the question "what I don't like about poker", it's the greed of a well-known poker room. :poop:

The wost thing about poker is people who get smug about winning, when they try and tell you they are a better player than you because they made a better hand than you.

Apart from the daily bad beats and inadequate players, I also don't like the fact that sometimes poker is very boring, especially in tournaments with long levels.

The only problem with playing poker is that we don't contribute to society, it might be worth donating some of our winnings to something like a donation. Every hour of our game can provide food for a whole week for a family or pay for a year of school for a girl. This seems like a worthy use of our brain resources.
