Things that annoy you at the poker table.........................

I lose almost my entire stack in the last hand before the break.

When both opponents go all-in on bluffs or very weak hands, and you fold the winning hand, and then watch as a huge pot of 3-4 stacks goes to some garbage hand ))

The poker table should be fun, and if such little things irritate you, then I think poker is definitely not your thing.

1 out, 2 outs , 3 outs and go on hahaha

The situation you described does not irritate me at all, because I can find myself in such a situation, when I do not have time to return to the gaming table on time, the reasons for this can be different. If a player systematically drags out time, then I do not like such behavior either. I do not like it when people are rude and disrespectful to their opponents at the poker table. I play poker to enjoy the game and, if I am lucky, to win money, and I do not like it when someone spoils my mood because he is badly brought up or because he had a bad day. You always need to be able to control your emotions, especially if these are negative emotions. This is one of the main points that I do not like in both online poker and live poker.

It bothers me to have to see players who make bad moves, and they think they are good just because the result favored them (example pre-flop push 2-3 and 222 comes out)

Players who are unfriendly and rude.

Let them make fun of winning a hand having played any hand and been lucky

I am annoyed by players who abuse emoticons or throw objects incessantly. I understand that sometimes you want to throw a tomato or an egg at someone, and I don't mind at all. But sometimes there are psychopaths who throw something literally every hand .............. I think this functionality should be limited to three or five throws per hour, and that would be quite adequate.

That one mega whale that always seem to hit his hands. 😂

Losing to runner runner after going all in pre-flop.

Lol love that the best reply is the first reply.

Honestly if I take a honest look I think the thing that annoys me the most in poker is not knowing what to do.

Not that I don't still tilt but if I look back at what used to tilt me most was when I made a decision that I had no idea what I was supposed to do and it cost me a stack.

Running QQ into KK or AA or losing a flip while it can be annoying is just a standard part of the game. Not knowing if I should call the pot sized river jam with two pair only to find out that villain had the obvious monster used to tilt me so much then I started studying and looking at what were supposed to do in a spot like this and became less frustrated when I ended up calling off and losing because I wasn't just guessing I kind of knew how the spot was supposed to be played or what a good strategy in that spot would look like.


But if I had to sum it up in one word... "Losing" lol

Completely feel you on the frustration of not knowing what to do in tough spots. The 'not knowing' tilt definitely hits harder than just losing to standard variance, like coolers or flips. Studying and learning those situations is such a game-changer, though—it turns frustration into curiosity because even when you lose, you're building that knowledge bank.

Live play when people take 3 minutes to fold their 7 high to a 400BB all in on the river and really any other time they just waste an excessive amount of time for no reason whatsoever other than being a turd.

Basically, I'm annoyed by everyone at my table, all those who potentially have my chips. My opponents want to get my chips, I want to get my opponents' chips, and therefore everyone at the table is an irritants for me

I agree with the others who don’t like players that take a long time to make a decision, and I also don’t like
1) sitters on my left when I raise and they suddenly wake up with a top hand
2) sittters who win pots (especially when going all-in)
3) anyone who is sitting out when the game is being dealt should not be given any cards.

What annoys me the most is when someone speaks who has thrown their cards out of their hand.

Just kidding 😊

There are several behaviors at the poker table that can annoy players. Here is a list of the most common ones:

1. Slow game
Taking too long to make a decision: this can slow the game down and frustrate other players. While poker requires thought, a player who takes too long to make every decision can be irritating.
2. Repeated bad beats
Bragging after a lucky hand: When a player wins with an improbable hand or great luck, they may annoy others by bragging too much about their victory.
Overreacting after a bad defeat: A player who reacts very negatively after losing a difficult hand or a big hand can make the atmosphere tense.
3. Slow rolling
Keep a strong hand for the last minute: when a player takes too long to reveal his hand when he knows he has won (to annoy his opponents), we talk about slow rolling. This behavior is often seen as disrespectful.
4. Useless discussions
Talking too much during the game: Talking loud or for no reason can distract other players who are focused on their game.
Ask personal questions: Some players ask questions that are intrusive or too personal, which can make the table uncomfortable.
5. Collusion or cheating
Cheating or attempting to manipulate other players: While cheating is rare, when suspicious behavior (such as collusion or the use of secret signals) is detected, it greatly annoys other players.
6. Too obvious “revealing” behavior
Show obvious signs of nervousness or control: some players intentionally or unintentionally give obvious clues about the strength of their hand. Other players find it boring if they think it's too easy to read their opponent.
7. Poor social behavior
Disrespecting other players: Insults, teasing, or other disrespect for other players, such as interrupting or openly criticizing others, create a bad atmosphere at the table.
Distract other players: For example, a player who is constantly talking about outside topics, looking at their phone, or doing anything distracting may irritate those who want to stay focused.
8. Irregular Paris
Irregular or non-standard bets: Players who bet irregularly or manage their chips incorrectly can cause confusion and annoy others. Likewise, “mini-raises” (very small increases in the bet amount) can be perceived as manipulation attempts.
9. Lack of respect for the rules
Not respecting the rules of the table: For example, a player who does not respect the order of actions (acting out of turn, handling the cards incorrectly, etc.) disrupts the flow of the game.
10. External distractions
Cell phone or other distractions: If a player is constantly on their phone or talking to other people instead of focusing on the game, it can irritate others at the table.

playing online poker .... cannot get a read or a tell on a player
playing live... players that take forever to fold

It bothers me when someone goes 2-7 olls and wins against A-A

Purposely running the clock down to then fold.

limps in deep stacks..
so stupid

People tanking in live poker.... thats definitely the most tilting for me
