Which live player do you least like?

grilldoggy · Aug 17, 2008

I know I'm not being specific, maybe I will be later, but my least favorite players are those that try to push morals on the game of poker. Who are your least favorite players, for any reason?

I hate the :joyman: players who take my chips. If they are live, so much the worse...

take advantage of a 'callbox'

I hear ya, I get pissed when a 'callbox' donks my chips off. Such is Texas Holdem. But you can take advantage of it too.
I hate players that disrupt my flow when I'm in a groove. For instance, when I have control of a table, and a new player rotates in who is instantly throwing the table off balance. Like a guy who goes all in with a considerable stack repeatedly, just to see how the table reacts, causing you to throw away good cards in mid position. He might suddenly take control, and get you on tilt. Tilt - that four letter word.

I hate those old fogie type cardroomj players that get pissed when a girl sits down at their table, and say things "well look here boys, she looks so young she must be just outta pampers" (true story)

It's a love/hate relationship because the comments keep coming until you when a big pot or two and then they stop.

When i take their chips I love them, I also love the inferior table image they give me.

I HATE their comments and having to fight them getting under my skin for the first few hands.

I thought when I read this that u meant Pros. It may not be what u meant but I heard Jamie Gold got together with his friends to come up with the $ to get into the big tournament he won and when he won he decided to not share the profits with his friends. I heard they are sueing him. If he really did that I hope they get everything they can from him. He really does come off a the kind of jerk that would do that.

Least favorite players by far are people who like to call everything, no matter what they have. Just frustrating when someone constantly calls you.

Not necessarily, In my opinion callingstations are by far the people to trick and set traps to.
Remaining on the topic, I don't think there is a player that I hate most live, simply cause I haven't watched live poker that much, but as a general "theory" I don't like people who start screaming for having won a hand and such and such...

Cheers!

Once I have info on a certain player it doesnt matter how he plays.

Everyone plays diff. Although it is frustrating when your up against someone who constantly calls you or someone constantly slow playing. This is good info and you should just change your game up accordingly. If you can't do this then you my friend are the moron at the table.
Good Luck All

Oh and if you meant live player as in live poker pro then
Mike Matasow is deff my least fav.

Next time say "well your so old your probally back in pampers so we are even"

LOL, I should!. but instead my cheeks get all hot (and prolly noticeably red) so I just sit down and play until the the feeling goes away (usually when I win a pot)

BTW this is at card rooms in Florida so they are either at the Greyhound track, or on a Indian reservation. So I'm sure you can imagine the type of player I am referring to.

Actually that exact day I was playing 7 card stud and hit 3 full houses withn 20 minutes. Was up $80 within the first hour. Then I just stood up and said thank you for the great game and went to another table. That alone was priceless.

I actually like Gavin. Did you see him on Poker after Dark? He was drinking like a fish, cursing with the pros like they were his best buds, and made an improbable comeback to beat Phil Ivey.

When the tournament was over despite being a a slight arse alltourney, he was very gracious and said when they got heads up he just got better cards, and if the seats were reversed Phil woulda won. (which IMO is true)

Then I thought, thats an ordinary guy that sounds like fellows in my home games. So I kinda appreciate his laid back style, and I find his constant card cursing funny.
