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:

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 .
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
