Biggest B&M Pet Peeves
 

Air your grievances here

My biggest pet peeve by far is when someone bets on the river, I call, and they delay showing their hand and say something like, "Can you beat an ace?" You bet, I call, you show. It's not very difficult. A variant of this that is just as bad is when they only show one card.

My second bigest pet peeve are the jackasses who think they are Johnny Chan and look up into the air during decisions like Chan did against Seidel in the WSOP hand from Rounders. A couple of months ago at the Borgata I was playing a 2-5 NL game against a young Asian guy who was pulling this routine (I mention the fact that he is Asian because Borg regulars may know him because I have seen him there several times). Anyway, the kid was a good player, but he was taking forever and staring people down on even the most trivial decisions. He also had the annoying habit of announcing his opponents hand every time he laid down a hand (Your kings are good, etc.) So after this went on for a while I decided to intentionally get in a heads up pot against him with total junk and show it down when he announced my hand. So after a while he opened for $20 from early position, I minraised to $40 with 47o and it was folded around to him. After staring me down and saying "Why such a small raise?" he called and we saw a flop. T-8-3. He led into the pot with $50, and again I minraised to $100 (I knew this would piss him off) and he stared me down again, then looked up into the air while thinking, and finally said "Your Aces are good" and folded. I showed my 47o and the look on his face was worth much more than the $100 I just won.

as you were showing the 47o you should have said "Nice read...good fold"

Did this Asian kid have sunglasses and raise PF about 80% of the time by any chance?

This is my clear #1 as well. Really, any sort of angle-shooting, codgy old man kind of things like this are my pet peeves, including the fuckers who hide their cards under their hand(s) and then blow a gasket when you ask that they make their cards visible.

This doesn't happen a lot, but my biggest pet peeve is when after you cash in your chips, some dickhead sees how much money you cashed and asks if he can have a "few dollars". One time, a guy even had the nerve to tell me he was diabetic and may go into a coma if I didn't give him money to buy lunch.

I hate the hand hiders too. I always end up acting out of turn when the guy on my right is hiding his hand, and then they are usually pissed you acted. Well I'm sorry, don't hide your friggin cards and I'll wait for you to act.

You've got to love the table expert "Yep AK, I knew it!, that's exactly what I put you on, AK." Usually said by a regular but awful player while nodding his head and grinning, looking around for recognition from the other idiots.
I always just ignore them but just once I'd like to say "Motherf****r, you've never put anyone on anything in your entire life."

Played against one guy at Borg last week who still had his chips way out in front of his cards after being told three or four times....

I hate it when people say 'I'll let you have it' as they fold like they are doing you a favor. You aren't letting me have it.. you know that I DO have it, so you are running away.
