aye, me too. and well, sometimes life happens and we need to sit out - maybe delivery arrived, dog vomited, baby needs a diaper change or simply a careless neighbor came by to talk about useless gossip.
what annoys me most are limitless add-ons. if there is only one at the end of late reg, you can count with it. some sites even have specific games where double rebuy gives you more than 2x starting stack - if double rebuy is intended, why don't you simply make the buy-in more expensive instead?

Hello Poker Fans,

I often play the $1.00 Mystery Bounty, PKO's and KOs whenever there are no freerolls and I have some time.

I am very annoyed when a big stack calls with any two cards because there is a bounty involved and the villain gets lucky!

A beat like that is a tough pill to swallow, especially if you have been playing a solid game, waiting patiently for your spot. It is even worse when the late registration period is over. Most certainly a scream at the computer moment!

Nothing like a "big-stack sick joke" to get my blood boiling :D

It's annoying when you don't have any money today, but there's a good tournament scheduled that you could participate in.I think for many it's that the money has been spent, but they still have to wait about a week until the next money day.

It's part of the game, because if there were no losers, there would be no winners.

It's frustrating when I've had high hopes and invested time and money, but poker doesn't deliver results.

The very long late registration , more than two hours really suck . What goes on in ACR is crazy , hard to deal with . Lose do many hours in playing before the bubble . The extreme LR extends the total gameplay duration a lot .

Slow player without a doubt. Waiting for the timer to run down then they fold.

Slow players running their timer down when it HAND FOR HAND play, what a waste

Multiple buy ins and addons I don't think they contribute with anything to the quality of the game. It just helps people to play recklessly for few money. Also I don't see the point to register on time for a tournament when you have 1 h 30 min to register, you basically ignore the effort put by the others and you have an advantage as being more fresh and rested.

But it makes the site more money.

It's very annoying when a player plays all in in 5-10 hands in a row with any cards, and he's really lucky enough to run over the top pair by collecting a straight out of 6 2

Maybe they know something about the site.

What irritates me the most are players who keep using emojis throughout the match, and players who take too long to perform their actions.

Definitely those players who go all-in every other hand — it’s like they’re playing bingo instead of poker 😂. Also hate when someone slowrolls or tanks forever on every street. But hey, it’s all part of the game — gotta stay cool and adjust.

nah... most sites have very safe RNG systems, so it's rather a shot in the dark or their crystal ball started to glow green...

What bothers me the most — but I’ve come to understand it’s part of the game — is variance. I guess I just have to learn to live with it.

O que realmente me irrita no pôquer é o registro tardio — uma ou até duas horas, é a única coisa que me incomoda.

I totally agree it doesn't need more than half an hour

What bothers me the most in a poker game is when I'm losing a lot of hands and I'm out of luck.

What annoys me the most is when players play badly and then have so much luck with ridiculous cards, and instead of quietly enjoying it, they go on to say things like 'I'm so good' or throw a projectile at your head.

What annoys me the most is not my own mistake, but the unpredictable or frankly illogical play of my opponents, which violates my own calculations and strategy.
