What irks me most is when people "think" they are poker gods and spout off odds or say they did the correct play when they are totally wrong.
For example, a cheap nlhe $3+rebuy tourney to get entry to the $615 WSOP qual. tourney on Pokerstars. I had a bad night and nothing is better to fix a tilt than playing a cheapo tourney.
Blinds 200/400 with 25 ante. SB has 16k. I have 23k in the middle. Everyone folds to me. I have 8h9h. I limp. Everyone folds to the SB who limps, BB checks.
Flop is 6h, Td, Jh. 1400 in pot. Both check to me. I bet 1500. SB raises to 3000. I quickly go allin and he calls. I get a heart on the river to bust him out.
Afterwards he goes "I knew you didn't have anything...I was a 2-1 favorite."
Usually I don't respond at all, but this got to me (I had a bad night remember?) and straightfowardly tell him I was a slight favorite (4.5%). He doesn't believe me and still spouts off his "I was a 2-1 favorite" I don't say anything else and he leaves.
A little knowledge hurts you more than being ignorant at times, and makes you look foolish.
