Time. When you think just a few more hands cause it's 1130pm. Then you remember just a couple more hands cause it's 3am.
 
I think the worst thing is the game time mostly in MTT and SNG some
 
no complaints

according to me there is no complaints.....i love poker)🙂
 
My opinion: The worst thing about poker is going on tilt and knowing you are making bad decisions, but still doing it.
 
play in a big tourney for a lot of hours and get kicked before the bubble
 
the worst/best is that it can take years to realize that you are a fish
 
I believe that the most stupid and wrong,is to go Allin with a weak kicker
 
I think same times, on same pokerrooms random nubeb generator is a shit!
 
Ι really hate all these mathematical formulas i have to learn to calculate and memorize , all the math theory related to poker generally that makes it hard to become an advanced poker player . Also all these hud programms , PT and hm,which can track players' activity and provide stats and info that I dont understand completely (I hope it's not off topic all these...😀 ) .
Every online poker room table should have and support keyboard hotkeys as pokerstars mainly and 888poker less have to facilitate the game of the players . in addition , they should improve in some cardrooms the random card generator programm to make the life of bingo donkeys harder:stupid: .

For me nothing special. Maybe late registration on tournaments. It is ok when late registration are aveilable during 1 hour but in many tournaments late registrations is availadbe three or four hours. In live poker tournaments this is ok, but in online tournament no. This is not fair to players who start tournament regularly, my opinion. Late registrations in online tournaments should be aveliable max 1 hour. Live poker different story.
 
no, but seriously, when you tilt and you notice you have tilted but can't stop playing again and again like a maniac and losing all your money because you just can't think straight anymore

that's the worst
 
Was playing in Atlantic City and I had beautiful hands and nothing was hitting. I finally decided to play with 2 & 5 off suit and hit runner runner flush draw. It was ridiculous, sometimes you just have crappy luck.
 
Getting called by 69 after rasing with QQ and being beaten by a 69 full house. Disgusting

Pokerstars dies by their number generator. I also sometimes wonder about it.
 
While maybe not the worst thing about playing poker, but certainly something that gets on my nerves is stat donkeys. You know the guy at the table quoting statistics and probabilities that he obviously doesn't fully understand, and don't apply to the situation, to justify his horrible play. For instance, someone utilizing stat table intended for use in heads up play in determining hand selection at a ten seat table. Or the guy quoting the probability of a pair of sevens to hold up against a "random hand" to justify calling with pocket sevens when three players are all-in in front of him. For one, you're up against three players, not one. Second, the three players that shoved, re-shoved, and called are not likely to have done it holding random hands. It's like this guy grabbed a copy of Poker 101 and immediately flipped to the charts in the back of the book without ever trying to grasp the basic poker strategy that might help them understand how to use them.

Generally I don't care how anyone plays. They've paid their entry fee. They're free to play the game however they choose. The problem I have with these stat donkeys is the half hour they spend filling up the chat box with a bunch of nonsense and insults. It's a good thing they never last that long.

The worst thing is these 5 hour late registrations on ACR. Those tournaments are definitely not for the recreational player who have other obligations so in essence you're basically funding the tournament for the few who have the time (and patience) to play that long, knowing you may have another 4 to 6 hours of play.
 
Worst poker an MTT to leave the game in 10th place with a second stack!!!!
 
The worst in my opinion in poker is when luck goes not very decent player at the moment ..
