The Most Annoying Things About Poker

[Ranish625]

And it annoys me very slow game opponents, especially in games with small prizes

What annoys me the most about poker is knowing that most of the time what prevails is luck and not the wisdom and intelligence of the player.

The most annoying is knowing you made a mistake and you knew it before you did it but second guessed yourself and did the wrong thing

Also not following instinct and folding, only to have an out come on the next card

I feel annoyed when people are rude to others, just because they lost. Does not matter if that was someone else, not me who was badmouthed, I still feel it downgrades the atmosphere. Sadly, people still are not ready to face they have lost. Should be so easy in poker.

When people play anything and they get lucky and when but they don't know how to play that really pisses me off

 

[Rational Madman]

Nothing is more annoying than realizing everyone else on the table is good.

[marcelo benavidez]

I agree this is a good one we should be used to it by now right

I do not like it when people complain that they are moving all the time, even in three outs. Especially when it is done by the fish

 

[mikkex99]

On a preflop you have pretty good cards, but not good enough to follow somebodys All in, and then it turnes out this guy did all in with worst possible cards

 

[mikkex99]

those who slowplay

indeed.. when the afk time is 60s and you have 3 guys in one game like this

You don't like free coaching?

No

Well yes. But I try to show opposite from “good play”. Teachers seem to tilt easy.

I hate it when I get "Donkey Kicked".

You've played the hand perfectly and drawn your victim into depositing all of their chips or matching your stack, and the donkey hits that 5% card on the river.

That peeve comes just in front of losing 80% of the time at PS when I'm all-in and heads up against a bigger stack I have dominated. It happened today (which is NO surprise) where the big-stack villain flips A4 to my AJ, and a 4 is flopped. It's amazing how often it happens.

I don't like it when people tank on a freeroll. It makes absolutely no sense. On the site I play, ACR, they give way to much time for people to reconnect when they disconnect. It seems like an eternity. I've only seen someone reconnect a handful of times too.

 

[Steve Deeble]

I hate losing to lower pocket pairs and cannot stand slow play.

 

[playinggameswithu]

People who complain about other players playing bad by making forum thread about it.

More donks for me.

Though seriously I despise annoying river cards non-all in situations.

 

[johnwat2]

The call when you shove with 2 top pair or a set after tie flop,, get called by say an 8,9 off and lose to a straight.

what a marvellous thread and great answers... what bugs me.. most annoying about poker.. can i say two things?

1. stories of bad beats... we all have them and i sick of hearing about them .. its part of poker "suck it up"

2. rude and vulgar players.. who belittle, humiliate other players

 

[Paya_31]

To me what bothers me is that when you win projects or something other than premium hands some players revile you.

 

[rigor mortis]

PokerNuts01, How would you define "Skill"? Plese tell me three or four 'Sills' you say out perform luck. If you can't run to these numbers, how about two? It's a card game ffs.

 

[Kalipro]

What are your pet hates with poker. What really grinds your gears.

For me it's when during a tournament someone goes all-in on the first hand.

And what is worse is when they go all in with a crap hand and then win.

Love all the comments about hands played.... biggest pots are never won with AA or KK. Just saying. Hard to think of what I hate about the game...even bad players teach me something or at least pay me.... eventually. Probably the emotions I have attached to a bad beat....but always learning to control them.
