people who go all in with stupid hands, river helping stupid hands... well everything that makes a stupid hand win! xD

So, you would rather have players fold all their "stupid" hands and only call/shove with top hands?

That doesn't make sense, does it?

i'm playing freeroll tournaments, still learning poker, and people goes all in like crazy for first 15 mins. Thats what bother me now

Bothersome laggers

The thing that drives me nuts is the non stop laggers online. Theres always one or two of them.

What bothers me the most are donks, who dont know how lucky they are even when u tell them and show them, it happened recently, i played 9 hand SNG, i reraised and got to flat calls, flop came, i was on a flush draw, the donk has top pair with T, shoves the second guy folds, i call since i cover him and if i lose have 200 chips left, flush doesnt come, the donk gets away with top pair, got pissed and went on a killing spree, after i came from the dead, had a stack of 2.2K chips i got QQ, the donk has 3.8K and sits on the SB with pair of TT, the third guy in the hand sits on 4.8K sttack on the BB with pair of 88, the third guy opens i flat setting a trap, the donk reraises, third guy flats i reraise allin, long story short he gets lucky on me again and hits a T on the river, u just cant play against luck, and that pisses me off

I am only concerned about when playing,especially if you go raise all in on the flop

So, you call of almost all of your chips on a flush draw-probably not getting the proper odds to do so-against a villain that shoves top pair and you're upset they got "lucky"? Sounds like the villain made the correct play.

Then your trap backfires and you get coolered TT>QQ. Yet, villain is a "donk" because they played a decent hand and won?

Villain didn't exactly get lucky against you, it's just something that's going to happen mathematically from time-to-time. Your over pair isn't winning 100% of the time there. In fact QQ vs TT vs 88, you're only a ~65% favorite to win.

So, how is villain a donk?

most in the MTT disturbs me, whether I can maintain discipline as long as possible. very often I can play in the same breath, but then as if something turned over, and I'm starting to make themselves apparent to those errors(((my problem is the lack of patience

iugiug · Feb 21, 2016

1) definitely loss of internet, with x amount of sitngos open or having a monster hand in a cash game

2) Having an idiot that clearly doesn't know card odds or pot odds berate me for making the correct play. It's very hard to do sometimes, buts it's best to ignore them, however do take notes on them.

3) Being shown a bluff, initially it's tilting to me, but they are actually doing me a favor, again take a note. I find it will usually come back to haunt them.

When I'm on the button 3 betting with premium hand and i have callers in horrible position with 95 off.. j 5 off.. hands like that.. i guess it is cool if i know how that person plays, then i can expect it. otherwise i give their range way more credit and can tend to get bluffed a tad easier.

BentleyBoy · Feb 21, 2016

The one thing that bothers me most of all while playing poker is the lack of appreciation given by my family. It seems that what I am doing has to stop for everything that they want to do..... Even when I give fair warning or notice that I am playing poker, I still have to stop to do stuff that they want. This may sound selfish, but if I was at work, they wouldn't be able to make such demands. I need to do something about this.

When people go all-in constantly with trash hands and somehow manage to win every single damn time. And when I go all in with good hands I lose every single damn time.

annajanci · Feb 23, 2016

When I get good cards pre-flop, then the flop comes and it renders them worthless. Or when I fold two cards, and I notice I would have had a straight/flush/fullhouse/three of a kind... whatever winning combo, after the community cards are dealt.

JohnBoe · Feb 23, 2016

When I got two pair or better in the flop and then a straight shows up which urges me to fold. It just hurts

NicoSalazar7 · Feb 23, 2016

I was bothered a lot lately , about the time when the bubble in tournaments and I run out of chips , and does not leave any for decent cards , I quickly went into despair and stress gets me

Speedbruce · Feb 23, 2016

For me is when i see everyone hitting the flop with uggly cards, and when i try to hit something with garbage the flop comes AAK-AKK-AQK. It's sad!!!

ScottieDuncan · Feb 24, 2016

What bothers me the most is when a player sits there and burns his time knowing he is going to fold anyway.

What's sad is the fact that you tried playing weak hands in the first place and then got upset when it didn't hit.

The river

ph_il · Feb 24, 2016

It bothers me when I get my hand in bad, say AQ vs AK and I type "NH" in chart after an A high flop, only to catch a Q on the river and win.

I feel like a jerk afterwards.

Man, I was drowned by plays like that..

otinanai · Mar 1, 2016

Donks!

tbdbitl · Mar 1, 2016

Whining and bitching about how bad a player runs. Bad beat stories. Questioning players about their play. Lessons at the table. Loud tables.

So basically last Thursday at my local casino was my worse nightmare!
