What gets under your skin when playing a poker game?
 

No matter how cool one may claim I think we all have a certain thing that really gets to us.

For me its the maniac (with 73s) reraising me just because (with his 3 outer) and then hitting his card on the end. That drives me nuts.

When people, that are friends, play at the same live game are in a hand with only one another and decide that they'd like to check it through, face up after preflop.

The guy who smells, the donk woman who is hostile to the loudmouthed lag table coach and the guy who wants to brag about picking up another player's tells at the table.

Being outplayed by a LAG.

Honestly, when I have a hand dominated and he pairs his kicker while I don't.

Outplayed or he out dumbs you. FOR EXAMPLE.

BOARD (AK2 3)

(AKo) TAG: "Ok he likes to reraise pfeflop with Axs and I hit 2 pair on the flop and its rainbow, I got this bastard on the turn and I know he will call even if I raise and cap, hes done this the last 4 times." TAG raises the turn.


(57o) LAG: "he raised? hes bluffing!!!! I reraise..."

gets capped and LAG calls

river is a 4.... end of story.

Where's the worst story ever guy when you need him?

I hate people who sit next to me and are truly annoying: laugh or can't STFU and play, or show me their cards every time I'm not in the hand. People who think I give a [censored] about them & should rather STFU and die.

When someone call/raises without any reason for it or logic for it. Grrrrrrr.

Re: What gets under your skin when playing a poker game?
 

The opponent who rationalizes that they hung around with 88 and JJQ on the board and a raise because they "put you on AK" and were "trapping you".

Of course they didn't put you on AK because they never raised until the 8 hit the river to beat your trip Tens.

Just admit you made a fishy suckout! Don't blow smoke up my butt about it.
