What gets under your Skin at Poker

[Gaz787]

"Sharing" hands, people that feel the need to look at my cards when I've mucked em, losing a hand, losing a streak of hands, people who can listen to music through earbuds and play simultaneously (I can't for some reason. Playing online, I can listen to music, but in a live setting I just can't, and it irritates me), thin justifications for bad plays, "one time", arrogance, people that "need to go home" or are generally frustrated and feel the need to shove blind for extended periods, my own rampant stupidity.

That about covers it I reckon.

I may get carpfaced but I'm not THAT much of a pain. I do try my best not to slow the game down and, despite loving the beer, I'm still thinking about the cards. Afterall... how else am I supposed to prance around like a loon when I get dealt one of my two outs. On the river. <-- just for you Steve_G

just when i was getting over it u bring it back up mate

the TDs making u go to break when there is clearly still over a minute left on the clock

the TDs making u go to break when there is clearly still over a minute left on the clock

had to answer to this!!

Firstly the clock is for a TD's reference so if there is a minute showing and they declare break or blinds are up guess what blinds are up or its break. Now when every player can grab the cards shuffle and deal them in 30 seconds then every player make a decision in 5 seconds so that the whole hand can be over in a minute then i wont call break at 1 minute 10 seconds.

People who get uppity with me when I raise - if your hand is better than mine, call me, or even better, re-raise me Actually, I love it, but I do catch some grief for it at times.

People who insist on pointing out the straight/flush possibilities, when they are people left in the hand
People who point out I was in a blind so it is entirely possible I caught that [6h 6d Jh] flop hard, when they are people left in the hand
STFU - until I've finished taking/losing chips!

I don't really mind people who exclaim, 'I had [7h 5h]' when the board runs out [4h 6h 8d] so long as NO ONE is left in the hand - it doesn't matter how quiet you whisper, the very fact you are whispering tells everyone some 'outs' are gone.

People who think fumbling for change to pay for a drink at the table is a good excuse to hold everyone else up. If you don't wish to play poker, there is a bar just over there for that sort of thing. Sure, we're not playing for sheep stations, but we are playing poker. If you must, just leave the table immediately for the bar- we'll muck your cards in turn. Not perfect, but it will do.

I think that will do for the minute. I'm discovering a whole new bunch of things that sh!t me at online poker, but that is a whole other thread.

Last night I was within a poofteenth of upending a poker table.

And its as though the person involved has not been warned before.

Senario, I'm short stack and UTG I'm delt kh qh I push all in, all fold to the dealer, who calls SB folds BB flods, then SB extracts his card from the muck and shows them to the dealer, whilst this has no direct effect to the ultimate outcome of the hand, the dealer had pocket 6's and she is a calling station, I hit a king on the flop I'm in front and the turn is also no help to either of us but I get screwed over by the river, she hits a 6.

I dont mind loosing but when people muck rack and then show their card to an active player it make me see Red.

I agree - with the comments about nicknames, some people should totally get over themselves. Last night I witnessed three poker rapscallions that thought they were hilarious with their articles of stationary placarded as "card protectors" and attempted to fool the table into thinking they were good players - even though what I witnessed was an extreme lack of skill! haha

Seriously - stationary! Get over yourselves guys it's not like you're the best NPL players out there - or are you?

[Eraser]

I shall...Erase that comment from my memory lol

[Alwayze Play JJ]

i hope you do - you should be more inventive. I enjoyed some comedic moments from a fellow with that circular device - i think he was the best character out of the three of you - probably the best player too. He acts like he has won more tournaments that the other two of you combined...

[Eraser]

Maybe because he's also played in more than double the amount of tournaments than us combined! You seem to know this protractor quite well Why does he always wear a sydney shirt? lol

But is he in the state finals already? Eraser is ^.^
