What annoys you most when playing online poker?

[machinm19]

As cliche as it is to say I just can’t stand anybody who slow rolls. Online, live, home game it’s all the same to me, it’s really really poor form.

Players who time bank every hands when they have no decisions or people who limp every hands take the cake for me.

why don't you just start loading more tables? The slow players will become invisible

I don’t mean slow players mate I mean players who slow roll you when they have the nuts.

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.

Tank calling or tank checking is alright, they prevent people from getting timing reads. Tank folding all the time on the other hand should be criminalized, especially if we are talking about that annoying shortstack on the bubble who ruins the game for other shortstacks by reducing the number of hands seen on a lower big blind level.

What bothers me the most is my eyesight after a few hours in front of the computer.

If it's close to the bubble, I don't mind when this happens. I do the same thing sometimes...lol
But if you're playing only one table and this happens, it's not nice, specially because I don't have much patience.

Try playing a few tables, you'll have something to do while others are thinking.

The delay is very irritating when there is no connection, no good card, or when there is a drop in connection, and my internet is 100% excellent. The delay hurts the game a lot

Annoy me ?? Nothing . Cause it doesn't worth it . If it's rigged in many ways , no reason to take it seriously , het angry or whatever . Play freerolls or don't play at all . If you decide to play for sth , play very little money , treat or as firewood on the fireplace . Cause that's what it is .

Players who insist on showing the winning hand that they folded pre-flop. The last word in futility...

I, who just said that I do it hahahahaha, it's usually like a strategy to disguise my strong hands and also my weak hands, it's like having the same time to always think, even so I'm already aware that if the other player bets on my foldeo ajsjajsja, it really extends the game, but it's my way of playing bluffs and strong hands together, I feel like it avoids being bluffed more than usual, a quick check can mean disinterest in my hand, so I prefer to dedicate all the time allowed to it except the time bank
To answer your question, what I hate the most is when I have a good hand, I delay paying as if it were a difficult decision and my connection drops and I automatically lose my hand, besides losing chips that makes me very sad

 

[MAFNL16061986]

most anyoing i think is the sit out players and come back when they got good hands and after that sit out again

 

[TheFO0L]

getting sit out with a premium cause i took too long to piss between two hands

 

[anasslaaleg]

For me, it's clearly the players who call everything with anything... and who hit!
You spend three hours playing properly, getting the sizing right, managing your stack well...
And then, a guy with 720 calls you out of position and finds the backdoor straight.

 

[hardongear]

Not much but connection issues/drops or site going down in the middle a an MTT or big cash hand. Which doesn't happen much at Pokerstars like it does at other sites. I see a lot of you in this thread need to work on mental toughness and tilt control......likely more then actually poker strategy.

Cheers!!!

I can understand playing for time when coming up to the bubble, but what is the point when in hand for hand mode as the bubble boy will be the loser with the smallest stack not the first out.

 

[fernandovr]

What annoys me the most is when players take too long to act without any reason — it kills the flow of the game.

 

[dzsire]

Slow players and maniacs who go all-in on every round.
Also, constant chatter can be annoying, especially when it's not about poker. The latter can of course be remedied by muting the chat.

 

[ch1r4q]

The most annoying for me are definitely those maniacs that just came to gamble and then jam pre flop every round. The worse it gets when they get lucky, had this guy the other day survive on the table for about half an hour with 86% of hands played.

I think taking too long to make your moves and letting time run out and also using emojis all the time when a player makes their move is annoying.

I constantly see posts like this here - that someone is annoys by something in poker. Why do something that annoys you and then write about it? Are you not interested in anything else in poker? Maybe then you just shouldn't play poker and not waste your nerves?

When losing poker players give advice.

Only the internet going down, everything else i can handle

 

[Navin Sarabjeet]
