What annoys you the most at the poker table?

Long sit outs and lots of silly all ins. I don't remember seeing world professionals playing like this, so who's obviously playing the better game.....
 
I'm annoyed by players who always rely on their luck and unfortunately they always have it.
 
I hate people who, after losing a hand, tell you everything you did wrong.

Exactly, that’s the right attitude. Everyone has their own style and their own decisions, and in the end all that matters is playing your game your way. When someone tries to “coach” you at the table, it’s better to let them talk while you stay focused on what you’re doing.
 
I mostly play freerolls, and there are players there who go all-in over and over again. Sometimes they keep hitting cards and run you over with complete trash. There are also players who register and don’t really play, just trying to sit it out and make the money.
 
What annoys me most is when players constantly comment on others’ decisions or try to “teach” at the table. It’s not the behavior itself, but how easily it can break focus. When that happens, I just mute and get back to what matters: making good decisions.
 
What annoys me the most are those 0.01% bad beats — when they’ve got that one card that saves them and they hit it right at the end.
 
People who purposefully run out their timebanks on every single action in every single hand, supposedly to avoid giving off timing tells. Do you really need to take max time to fold 83o in EP?

The reason this really annoys me is that it smacks of other situations when people are playing petty power games with you, like going to a job interview and the company making you wait for an hour past the appointment time for no reason at all other than to see how much BS you are willing to put up with.

Every player has a different trigger: slowrolls, excessive talking, pointless tanking, bad etiquette, or players who think they’re Phil Ivey after winning two hands. I’m curious which situations throw you off the most and how you manage to stay calm when they happen.

I remain calm in any situation, regardless of how my opponents behave. But I must admit that overly talkative players irritate me. There are those who seem unable to shut up, and those for whom chatting is more important than the game itself.

I find annoying those players that waste time and time banks before folding when they have a hand that's a clear fold. That usually happens around bubbles, which is very boring for the other players. Everybody's waiting for the bubble to burst to play faster. I find it's around bubbles that we should should start timing the players, otherwise the game becomes unbearably long and boring.

Aren't they doing you a favour? You want to make it to the bubble right?

Going broke near the bubble bothers me , especially if my hand was the favorite . Play well and patiently , and then wind up losing . No fun !

I totally get you — nothing stings more than a suckout from someone playing absolute garbage. But that’s the chaotic side of poker: in the short run the “clowns” win too, but in the long run discipline and good decisions prevail. I try to focus on the process, not the outcome, even if sometimes it makes you want to slam the laptop shut

The problem is that sometimes these clowns take your entire bankroll for the session, so there is no "in the long run".

Lately, the most annoying thing is if the players take a long time to make decisions.

The most annoying things at the poker table are disrespect for other players, collusion and unfair play.Talking about cards that have already been discarded.

I am annoyed by players who insult others. I believe that any insults, even at online tables, are unacceptable and such behaviour should be severely punished.
 
time wasters and slow rollers. I was at a table once when the dealer stop slow rolling, He told the table they had 5 seconds to table their cards after he told them to or he ould declare the hand dead. Someone called the floor and the floor backed the dealer. It doesn't take even 2 seconds roll over your cards.
 
What annoys me most at the poker table is behavior that disrupts the flow of the game excessive tanking in routine spots, constant complaining about bad beats, and players who try to angle or gain attention instead of focusing on the cards. Loud phone use, disrespect toward dealers, and unnecessary slow rolls also take away from the enjoyment. Poker is competitive, but it works best when everyone respects the game, the people at the table, and the pace of play.
