what annoys you the most about poker?

CourtJester · Nov 21, 2021

People who show up to a tournament and just all-in over and over until they eventually get eliminated.

eugenedav · Nov 21, 2021

I agree the people who goes all in with any two. Causes you to fold sometimes you'll notice you would of won big. That really annoys I get tilted after that. Another thing when you have a huge combo draw and it don't come in a major hand you out.

jason2626 · Nov 21, 2021

What annoys me most people on line waiting until last second to call or fold like if there on tv or something just slows the game down, I mean once in a while if it's a big decision I understand, and some people have slow connection u can't do anything about it it's just really the puttses:deal:

Bad beats, loosing with strong hands, the river, rigged sites, unlucky, tanking ages with no reason etc.

Honestly poker is just like life, ups and downs.

pirateglenn · Nov 22, 2021

I think the one thing that annoys me is the assumption that we can all easily make when we play a MTT at a higher level, you kinda expect players to be of a better level and yet when you get dumped out of a tourney when holding a premium with someone with junk - it can be frustrating.
I was playing a hot $27 PKO and had KK in small blind, it was just me and BB in pot and we were both evening matched in chips - he just covered me, i reraised to 4x and he shoves with 7 4 off (i obviously called) - he spikes a 4 on the flop and turns a 7 and the board doesnt pair out.

What annoys me the most about poker? It would have to be;
Building a chips stack thru hours of grinding, just to tighten up my hand selection, and have KK or QQ’s cracked....sit there waiting for hours just to be run over by two Broadway cards.

The most important thing that annoys me is having my pocket aces get cracked. I hate it when that happens as I get really happy seeing the aces in my hand. Having them get cracked does annoy me.

I am annoyed by my game when I lose. I do not know how to stop and I want to win back all the time. This is very bad

cindymagaly · Nov 22, 2021

What bothers me are several factors:
- In general I try to play safe and cheat a little only when I know I have the advantage and position, but it bothers me the people who constantly play all-in, especially in open tournaments, such as a tournament with buy-ins of $ 0.27 up to 2 $ there are several who bet everything and if they win well, if they lose they go back in and continue with the same way of playing they go all-in.
- Some small percentages that each card they throw you know is going in their favor and completes their small percentage in a 100% won
- That they give you a good hand to play and the big blind has many more blinds than you and has a better hand, all this before the bubble I think the software does it to speed up the elimination process and finish the game.

the thing that frustrates me are all the bingo players.people that bet on nothing just so they can steal the blinds.

1outs, 2outs, 3 outs, runner flushdraws lot things lol

ADRI7HO · Nov 22, 2021

I also don’t like it when I have read and notes about every player and then they sit down from the table.
Unfortunately, this often happens in tournaments.
How much better it would be if I always replaced only the knockout player on my desk, even though we’re almost there as if they were planted. :hmmmm:

oarroyo · Nov 22, 2021

What bothers me the most is when they bluff, you pay with a good hand but in the end they draw you

bugiardops · Nov 22, 2021

For me the most frustrating thing is sometimes playing for hours and not being rewarded for the effort.

Lucky_Shark · Nov 22, 2021

It infuriates when you have 90% + to win in the cash on the turn, you do not take "insurance" and the opponent wins.

HRVATSKIBOGMARS · Nov 22, 2021

What annoys me? Very interesting question. First, players who play so slow on the Internet. They dont know that is not play in live and they can not to "read" anything. Second, the players who dont respect the other players. And the third the players who play all in at the very beginning of the game. These is for me total ignorance of this game.

The 'Villains' who play with every cards in every round. They are the most annoying thing in poker because you try to focus on your game and comes such a guy and he eliminates you from the tourney with a 72 against your AA...

knowing how to adjust to your opponents for you to make the better decisions is part of the game. no game ever plays exactly the same or how you want it to, so adjusting and adapting is all part of the game.

In poker, I am most annoyed by the so-called lucky players who go all-in on 92 off-suit and similar cards, well, in general, in 90% of cases they are lucky !!! And most of all, it pisses me off that there are a lot of them at micro-stakes, where I play now ... ((

they're not successful 90% of the time.

go look at any bad player's sharkscope graph and they're going to be in the red. sometimes deep in the red. you can't be 'successful' in poker and be down -17k in $1-$5 mtts. it just doesn't work that way. do they win with really bad hands sometimes, sure. any hand can win at some point or another. but winning a pot with 92o isn't a sign of success either.

When people limp to players that are sitting out.

when you think someone is sitting out when it's folded to you, you open, and suddenly they're back.

i never understood that.

Variance annoys me, but i'm trying to get rid of it to play as perfect as possible

you can't get rid of variance. it's impossible. however making better decisions and getting in your money more +ev spots will help variance to work out more in your favor.

lets look at quick variance example. lets say you're given an option of rolling a dice or flipping a coin for $1 per game against an opponent. if you choose to roll the dice, 1-4 = you win and 5-6 = you lose. or you can flip the coin, you win if lands on heads and lose if it lands on tails? what game would you pick?

well, hopefully you pick the dice roll because you have a 67% chance to win vs a 50% chance to win. this doesn't mean you're not going to lose as a 67% favorite, but you will lose a lot less. the same goes with poker. you can't stop from losing because of variance (and opponent's equity) but playing hands and situations where you're a favorite means you win more often in the long term.

I, honestly, fail to see the issue here. is the issue that you have to fold majority of your hands against this player...?

well, that's how stealing works. if they had a good hand, they're betting for value.
