You can control your environment to a much greater degree when playing online poker but when you're crammed shoulder-to-shoulder in a live game, sometimes there is no escape from other players who exhibit less-than-ideal behavior or contribute to a distracting environment.
Which of the following are most likely to throw you off of your game and put you on tilt?
1. Bad smells: the player next to you is obviously overdue for a shower and smells like they just finished shoveling out the drains in a hog barn, before smearing themselves with a mixture of pickled garlic and last week's uneaten cheeseburger.
2. The poker room looks like it's on fire because of the dirty veil of cigarette smoke floating near the ceiling. The problem is that you don't smoke and can't concentrate because you can't breathe, knowing that you're going to be dragging this stench home on your clothes.
3. You have a "9-high like a boss" player at the table that keeps tanking excessively and Just. Will. Not. Shut. Up.
4. One or more players are angle-shooting and nothing is being done about it.
5. One or more players are berating newer players aka "tapping the glass," or continually making racist/sexist comments.
You're welcome to share your "worst live poker experiences." Let's hear your "bad beat" live poker stories that had nothing to do with the river card!
