Go all in with useless hands and still end up winning
I totally agree this is my answer too . You hit the nail on the head with this answer I was going to say the same thing.

For me the most annoying thing is when poker clients crush and I have an important hand

A very specific one. When a short stack is all in, I and another player call their all in.

But instead of going check check check straight to showdown, the idiot "bluffs" and shows air, so the short stack triples up.

I try not to react to provocations at the poker table. People usually send me negative emojis because I’m a regular player. I use these provocations as a psychological tool. Players think I’m getting upset, so I pretend to be on tilt. :)

Attitudes like those of players such as William Kassouf bother me; they are players who talk constantly and don't respect others.

In live games tossing the chips on a messy random pile instead of piling them clearly all separately.

The most annoying thing for me is slowroll.
Also, lately it's been annoying when players waste time in Bubble Hand for Hand. Why?

As others have already said, it's the subhumans who just shove in at the beginning, first few blind levels of a tournament. Or really any time with more than 25 or so blinds. It's just such a stupid play I always wonder if it is the first time they have played poker. I don't see it much in cash games, but every once in awhile someone open-shoves : the "win the least, lose the most strategy"....

For me it's the people who start complaining about every hand they lose. One bad beat is fine, but when the whole table has to hear about it every hand, it gets exhausting. 😂

When people go on tilt for whatever reason, some people like it because it's easier to find a good spot for your money but I find it uncomfortable.

the most annoying poker behavior is when the Indian casinos in my area rake the game so heavily that the small stakes ring games are almost unbeatable ! they drop 4, 5 even 6 bucks out of a 20 dollar pot ! how i long for the good old days of tiny local card rooms that took 'time ', a reasonable fee every half hour of play .sadly, competition has ended and the monopolies are greedily getting too big a cut of the poker economy .

People are impatient by nature. They can't wait to become winning players.Facial expressions and gestures are a meaningful language that, fortunately or unfortunately, is rarely controlled by players. Only top-class pros use it for practical purposes: they carefully study their opponent's behavior at the table.Remember that emotions are contagious, especially anger. Due to stress during the game, anger outweighs all other emotions. Avoid arguing; the brain gets tired and overwhelmed during the game, and this leads to emotions driving decision-making.So, when you're at the poker table, imagine your opponent is simply telling a story, putting on a performance. But to determine the veracity of their facts, you need to look not at what they do during the performance, but at what happened before it.

How do I play online... For me it's the use of excessive emojis, in addition to an absurd delay to make the move!

Actually, nothing other players do bothers me; I focus solely on my own game. What irritates me are bad beats.

For me, the most annoying thing is when someone deliberately slows the game down for no real reason, especially when they’re clearly trying to annoy other players or get a reaction. Online, excessive timebanking or constantly sitting out drives me crazy, while live I hate unnecessary tanking when the decision is pretty straightforward. Slow play itself isn’t always bad, because some decisions genuinely require time, but doing it on every hand just to create drama is different. I also dislike people who complain about every bad beat or constantly blame the dealer. It changes the atmosphere and usually makes the table less enjoyable for everyone. I can handle aggressive play or trash talk much easier than pointless behavior that kills the pace of the game.

Slowroll with a winning hand and an ironic phrase at the end, I would say that it would be the worst at least personally

I hate it when online players are on their phones and can't see the action well, or are otherwise unaware . Sometimes they limp call from the small blind when the BB is sitting out . Then they check it down and lose !

slow rolling or taking forever on simple decisions. like bro, you've got two cards pre flop, you don't need to tank for a full minute just to fold 7-2 offsuit. it kills the pace of the whole table.

When a player makes bad pushes and overtakes you with 72o it is very frustrating

Racist and sexual behavior have not place in poker. Once a Swedish player in PS called us, from east Europe "subhumans". What was that? I answered with very unpleasant words.
