I GET SO MAD AT SLOW TO ACT PEOPLE. ONCE IN AWHILE IS OK BUT EVERY HAND MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL. ITS TWO CARDS NOT A BOOK!!!
They could have slow internet.

Maybe they stepped away from the computer.

They might even be multi-tabling, which would slow them down a bit as well.

Ya this is annoying at live play as well. I mean just cause its a 10k buyin doesnt mean you should take 5 minutes to act on a post flop raise.

Unexpected guest the most bother me. I just started tournament, and they come... Then there is no sense to continue with the game.. It makes me crazy!

By the way, how do you solve such situations?

I usually keep playing my game (if they were unexpected). Had I known they were coming, I would not have played, but since they did not let me know they were coming, they can't expect me to stop what I am already doing.

Good thinking. I'll try something similar next time, but I'm not sure that it will work for me. It's so hard to explain to people that this "game" is really important to me..They simply perceive this differently.. For now, I mostly play at night. :)

I love to play all night to catch drunken bodies with a disco, in which the wind plays in your head, shoved any cards)

I was also annoyed and guests, and at a wrong time ringing phone, and my wife, who had not told before the tournament, that in 20 minutes will approach and ask, "Dear, could not take me to work, I'm late" (as an option to the store, to her mother, and so on). And refuse if it is late for work? Terribly annoying. At such moments and start All in with any two cards that would quickly finish the game.

I hate the people in chat who decide to brag about their accomplishments, then get a bad attitude when you make a comment. I had a guy bragging that he final tabled a certain tournament 3 times in one week and was calling people out after he made an awful play but won a pot to be chip leader. I said dude just stop and he lost his mind out of anger

What bothers me most is when I have the best hand all the time and suddenly in the last card that is the river, an inexplicable letter appears to end the hand where I had already invested enough money.

I likewise hate internet problems.. I don't like that I cant play at poker stars and party poker. I also don't like people who sandbag at the bubble.. slow players and not getting cards in the late MTT game

When playing poker, I'm afraid to make a mistake, play cautiously.

Interferes with the realization that gaming chips becomes smaller, good cards are not coming and they burn in my hands and it crushes my mind.

When a friend or family come unexpected for a visit while you are playing a tournament. I hate it because I don't like to see them go, and when they stay I can't concentrate myself.

Slow players who take all the allotted time just to fold over and over again.

I know what you mean. I feel ridiculous, when they look at my game

the only thing in modern online poker which irks me is,the endless late registration availability.at times the length of late reg is beyond a joke.

More recently, it is when the majority of people at a table take a really long time to play then no action ends up happening in the end. Does not matter if I am in the hand or not. In the past it was slow internet connections like other people mentioned.
