What annoys you most when playing online poker?

[roberto51]

Personally, I find it annoying when an opponent thinks about a move for a long time, using up all the time he is allowed to do so. And when he does it regularly. It definitely prolongs the game when there are, for example, 9 players at the table and 5-7 players do just that.

Лично меня раздражает, когда противник долго думает над ходом, используя все время, которое ему на это дано. И когда он делает это регулярно. Это определенно затягивает игру, когда за столом, например, 9 игроков, а 5-7 игроков делают именно это.

I would say that stalling for time is a strategy! But it hurts me too! Most of all, I'm annoyed by players who go to EVERYTHING almost every hand!!!

I'm also annoyed when opponents deliberately delay the time and at the same time, deliberately use emoticons. Such people should be punished for their abuse.

I can understand playing for time in a situation where the fate of entering the prize pool is at stake. Generally, the time limit for making a decision should be between 10-15 seconds and often even a minute. One hand can last up to 8-10 minutes in such a situation.

 

[Sparta77]

Yeah, the weather really freaks me out. Maybe it's part of the tactic to get them out of the game.

 

[wushibala]

I only stall when I have a short stack and we’re close to the money.
In that situation, I think it makes sense to wait a bit and try to survive a few more spots.

If this bothers you, then the strategy of your opponents works. Your concentration is disturbed. Using the time clock as long as possible is a legal part of the game. The more donkeys or fishes are thrown to me, the better is it for my game, my opponent is busy with other things. I Try to ignore
this behavior on the tables...

 

[BetterThanAvgButNotByMuch]

all the aids, software, cheating and everything that helps players make decisions that you can't use while playing live.

just the idea of having a hud is sickening as ppl can fine tune those to pick on things that would take alot longer for someone to pick up on and thats knowledge ppl shouldnt have.

or playing someone like 6 months ago and you have no clue what they are, but wait a minute, wait a minute. . . i have the hud to tell me, lol.

those chips shouldnt be going to mr/mrs hud or at the very least it should take them a lot longer to pick up on.

let them pick it up on their own, if they can at all.

get rid of the huds and tracking software and the training aids.

a lot of online players have trouble grinding live, i wonder why. lol

srry if the post is a little negative.

as for the time thing, ive never understood the getting upset about the time thing because i think the time banks are something like 10 secs?

guess it depends on the format and the site but if someone is taking a few seconds then they might be looking at position or trying to do some poker math so i could care less because its such a short time.

especially in tourn that have like 2-6 hours of late reg, lol.

i would be trying to figure out what theyre actually doing then worrying about the time itself lol.

and they might not be "playing" around either lol but you would have to look at it on an indivual basis i suppose.

or they could be really old and slow. could be a lot reasons why they use the clock.

ever play $1-5 or 5/10 stud with a bunch of 65/70+ year olds? you'd get it then lol.

I would agree with people who take the max amount of time every single hand

...especially people who expect the whole table to wait on them every hand,

it's like watching paint dry, probably the most annoying thing online is the disconnects🙄👎

 

[GIRAUG73]

spending most of the time to make the move.

 

[fundiver199]

Software glitches are annoying. And of course losing. The solution to the latter is to take a break, if I lose several games in a row. If you find the action to slow, there is a very simple solution for that: Just add more tables to keep you occupied.

 

[dreamer13]

Inappropriate actions of other players, technical problems and failures during the game. These factors can spoil the gameplay and lead to negative emotions.

 

[oriole]

Slow players tilt me the most - just pick a move and go!

 

[Omar.Imrane]

I completely agree with you. Personally, I get really annoyed by players who use up all of their time on every action — especially when there are multiple players at the table doing the same thing.
Honestly, it sometimes throws off my rhythm and focus, and has even cost me some hands because I get distracted or make rushed decisions after all the waiting.

I usually try to stay calm and observe those kinds of players, but if it gets too much and the table becomes too slow, I prefer to leave and find a faster-paced one.

Poker should be fun and have a natural flow — not full of tension and endless wai
ting!

 

[Fosterbio]

Oh, you touched on a sore subject! I even thought about creating a topic about my answer. Monkeys who climb on any two cards in the distribution, even under huge isolators and manage to get into 2 pairs+ and kill your AA

 

[Fosterbio]

another hand killed me: the final table bubble, I'm the top 2 stack of the tournament, the top 1 limps and the shortstack, I has AA, I just push all-in to isolate the short, the top 1 calls with KD, and so you understand, our stacks individually claim the top 5 minimum, Thursday where it's 60 dollars for the first... as a result, the short has the same hand as the top 1, I was happy, because they block each other's outs, but no, the RNG gives them a straight and I'm out... the opponent does something stupid, and then you suffer, that's what irritates me the most

 

[flabilim]

Pessoalmente, acho irritante quando um oponente pensa em um jogo por muito tempo, consumindo todo o tempo que lhe é permitido. E quando ele faz isso regularmente. Definitivamente prolonga o jogo quando há, por exemplo, 9 jogadores na mesa e 5 a 7 jogadores fazem exatamente isso.

And believe me, sometimes it's part of the opponent's strategy, to destabilize, or simply to not be able to read the plays because it consumes time in every way,

 

[Tadi]

It bothers me when a player uses all the time for alleged thinking, so in that situation I reciprocate with the same measure.

 

[yuya]

I always get sucked out on the river, but I never hit my own draws.
That really annoys me.

 

[Gipsystripsy]

What annoys me the most is losing to total donks, the kind of players who have no clue what they're doing but end up taking my entire stack.
And worst of all, their ego grows because they think their bad play was actually good.
Nothing tilts me more than watching someone get rewarded for garbage decisions.

 

[Magallaneroy]

When I just call the BB and they move me to another table and have to call te BB again.

 

[Newzooozooo]

I am annoyed by provocateurs and inadequates who insult others. Every player has the right to play the way they like, every player can use their time as they see fit. But no one has the right to insult others.

 

[quick]

People who use time every hand .

Also sites where when two players are all in on turn the site slows down , pauses. Then slowly deals and reveals the river card. It’s annoying, in tournaments it wastes time, and does nothing to quell the “poker is rigged” stuff when the slow turn over reveals a one outer. ( I know it’s done for dramatic effect and not some scam but still, just deal the cards and move on).

 

[SPANKYSN]

Three times I have had pocket aces, made a fair size raise without going all in, only to get disconnected from the poker site and lose the hand...now that hurts and is really annoying.

 

[Dimidrol2]

The most annoying thing about playing online poker is the connection drops.
