In live poker, I hate cheaters who angle-shoot
for chips, manipulate seemingly clumsy moves to extract information, or try to put in less than the required bet amount. Online, it’s the players who keep annoying everyone with excessive use of throwables and emojis—though, thankfully, there’s a feature to turn them off.

I play online at GG. I must say I do not like the emotes, I just find them silly. Slightly iritating in general. More iritating - when people use "hurry up" emote, when someone uses his clock, whatever reason. IMO this is the clock for - everyone can use it as they like - for thinking or strategic reasons.

Normally, as poker players, we should aspire to not let anything get under our skin.
But I admit that there's one player who has already succeeded in getting me so annoyed and disgusted even though I have never sat at a table with him.
And if I ever have to, I'll probably leave. It's this William BS guy:

Time wasting from crappy players that run the shot clock down EVERY hand, I can put up with it from good players.

Go all in with useless hands and still end up winning

That seems to happen with regularity in the Cards Chat freerolls on Replay !

I don't mind slow players online 'cause their time is fixed , and I may be multi tabling anyway so I can concentrate elsewhere . When it's a live table those that are intentionally taking their time or not paying attention sometimes get to me .

When a player uses emotes too much.

And keep throwing stuff at others.

And keep writing in chat (when available) to annoy others.

I don't care much about what other people do. Keeping focused on my game is what really matters.

It's extra annoying when they do it in turbo games, it pisses me off when I watch my BB's shrink in one orbit while players on other tables are seeing twice as many hands.

They have no clue.

Perhaps you should try to control yourself and not give in to provocations; sometimes it’s difficult, but it’s your path to success in poker.

Are you telling the moderate who is tasked with coming up with topics to check themselves? Lmao

I tend to get deeply annoyed by other forms of unsportsmanlike behavior: insulting, swearing, or blaming the online format for an elimination or a "bad beat" is deplorable behavior.

Online: GGPoker throwables. The cigarette smoke and egg craking in the middle of the screen blurring the dealt cards, and especially when it's excessive.

Players in PokerStars hardly use them, or maybe I didn't notice as much as I have with GGPoker.

Live: A staked player on a low buy-in tournament going all-in with any 2 cards and keeps on rebuying until rebuy option is closed.

Albeit annoying, I can only sit and mind my own hand.

It appears we're bound to have Williams and/or Martins (Khabrel) almost every year. Annoying, yes; yet it also add color to the game.

For me, the most annoying behavior is when cash game players take too long to make simple decisions, which makes the game feel very repetitive. This is why I personally prefer tournaments over cash games. Tournaments have a clear structure, a beginning and an end, and you can win a big prize with a small, fixed buy-in.

I find the behavior of an aggressive maniac unacceptable; as a result of such play, the entire bankroll is completely lost.

For me, it’s definitely when players constantly spam emojis in the chat. 😅 A little bit of fun is fine, but when someone keeps throwing emojis after every hand, it quickly becomes distracting and annoying. I’d rather keep the chat minimal and focus on the game.

What annoys me the most are players who start “crying” after they lose. Honestly, I'm probably more confused by people like that than actually annoyed.

Lol, honestly, that's not the kind of color poker needs in my opinion, but I know that a lot of people disagree with me.

For me, the most frustrating behavior is poor table etiquette—especially excessive stalling, slow rolling, and disrespect toward other players. Poker is a competitive game, but professionalism and respect should always come first.

rei signo · Friday at 12:45 PM

Going all-in on the turn with nothing, just to scare the other player off—nobody deserves that 🤕

Sitter limping is the most annoying.

In a world with free AI, sitter limping shouldnt even exist.

Its the worst play in all of poker and people wouldnt do it if they bothered with a simple google search.

So true

mattiebumpo · Friday at 8:30 PM

The poker habit that most annoys me right now is the unnecessary stalling. People see the pros do it and try to mimic that behavior. It drives me crazy! Sometimes you actually need some time to make a decision, but not on every hand in every position.

Nameless14 · Friday at 9:29 PM

For me, it's slow rolling. 😂 Nothing annoys me more than someone clearly knowing that they have the winning hand but taking forever to make the call. While it's annoying online, it's even more so at the poker table because you're sitting there watching them savor every second. Just make the call and let's play the next hand! 😅♠️

The most annoying poker behavior is slow rolling. If you have the winning hand, just show it and keep the game moving. Good poker is about skill, strategy, and respect for other players. Constant tanking without reason, excessive trash talk, and distracting the table also make the game less enjoyable for everyone.
