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

Yes, but I can understand the questions ...
Sometimes, some people ask you that without waiting really you do so ...

"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.

WTF are they talking about? ( Look at this donkey in the 3 seat. I`ll be spending his cash tonight! ha ha ha)

Actually, they are saying "Boy, this guy is cleaning us out... but at least this game doesn't hurt my head like the one with the little tiles, and everyone huddled around and screaming in languages we understand"

You mean like when you raise your pocket A's from the button and some moron calls you from middle position with 35o and pulls a str8. And then some idiot always has to say "Nice Hand". I do hate that!

:eek: rut rho.... guilty as charged.... what I mean by it is this: "Nice call. The next time I have a big hand and flop a killer, I really, really hope you made an equally poor play... those chips you took from the good player will help me send him to the rail once I take them from you.... so just remeber: 72 sooooooooooooooooooted rocks! You keep right on calling with it no matter how much I bet PF, ok?"


First the donk that pulled the move and then the idiot who says "nice hand". Especially back in my younger days when I would respond with the "Are you nuts?!?!? That was the worst play in history of poker because..........." and they don't have a clue what you're talking about. I stopped doing the response thing quite some time ago. Waste of time and raises my blood pressure.
All you'd get back was: "Shhhh... please don't tap the tank"

In a casino, any time a player asks the dealer for a certain card, or thanks the dealer for something.

I hate that.

One I never hope to hear. I had to call, I'm Cheating

and one I'd like to hear: "Forgive me for calling your Honor. I'm fat" the best excuse ever, as paraphrased from Mystery Alaska.

lol back in the days when I was still really bad, I used to say "I know this is a bad idea, but..." and call an all in. Luckily, I've stopped that stupid habit.

Saying it, doing it or both?:D

The one that really really grates me is in live games.

You raise the pot and sure enough somebody around the table will ask the dealer "who raised"...

JESUS H CHRIST.. Look at the bloody chips on the table you fool..

The other one that realy really gets my back up is when they call with crap and win. They look at you with that gormless smile and say "sorry"..

NO NO NO NO.. You are not sorry in the slightest. You are in fact laughing your head off thinking you just made the call of the century and based on that call alone you are planning your sojourn at the 2011 wsop final table...

I called because I had a good feeling about it.

I won, so it was the right play.

Big Jamaican guy at Ballys in AC one day was being a bully cause he had a killer chip stack. Kept raising a 1/3 NL game with $30 raises all the time, re-raising and putting you all-in after the flop and then sucking out whith his mid pairs or suited connectors when he got called. Everytime he pulled in a pot he scream, "I`m a steeeeeaammmmship mon! I`m turnin up the steeeeaammmmm! Ha ha ha!" I heard this for over two and a half hours until we finally got some big pairs and took the steam outta his ship. Not something you hear all the time but its fun stick it to the bully once in a while. By the time I left anyone who won a pot was doing the "steeeeeaaammmship" yell.

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 :p
funny story about that gambler song.. played at a table with a guy few months back, he was first off, drunker than drunk, or so it seemed. everytime he either had a big hand, or felt lucky he would start singing the gambler.. quietly and then louder and louder......and then of course the victory dance after he won. uncalled for imo:p

Another thing I hate a the tables is when people start talking about their folded cards during a hand.

- Oh my god I would have flopped a fullhouse with my 7-2!

On full tilt about 10 minutes ago:
"i like ACTION LETS DOIT ALL IN WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
(he had pocket 22) and two people were already all in.

Bad play aside things shouldn't make the WHOOOOO noise unless they are trains, little children who think they are trains, or teapots.
