I don't see anyone mention this guy.

3 way, short stack all in vs 2 large stacks, with no side pot yet, and one big stack makes a bet on the flop, second big stack fold, and then first big stack turns over a bluff then loses to the all in short stack.

HATE YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!!

I've seen this so often in SnG's recently that it just blows my mind. It keeps every ounce of my strength to stop myself from berating the player.

I especially hate it when a few hands later the small stack, who survived only because the other big stack pushed you out and is a moran, sucks out on you knocking you out on the bubble [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

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.

This absoulutely drives me banana's. Especially after I've been raised out of the pot to make it h/u between the two.

Yeah, this really sucks! Especially when the winner tries to throw the loser his last bet back, which is actually your last bet.

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.

I raise 5X BB with QQ. Get one caller. Flop comes T63. Caller pushes with 29o, I call. Turn 2, River 2.

A guy who slows the game down a ton: never knows when it is his turn to act and it takes the dealer a minute to get his attention every time, starts pointless disputes that force us to stop the game and call over the floor, etc. We all came to the casino because we want to play and this guy is ruining the fun for everybody.

If any of these things were to happen...

1) Disgrunlted old hag loses her grocery money on the slots, snaps and drives her car through the casnino, wounding my favorite drink girl.
2) Obnoxious table coach goes to the washroom, is followed by two Hells Angels enforcers, is found murdered and a really good game gets shut down while police investigate.
3) A guy dressed as Krusty the Clown runs into the cardroom and shoots me in the foot for no reason.
4) Someone slips acid into my beer and I spend five or six hours watching the dots crawl off my cards while folding big pairs and raising before the hands are dealt.

...I would be upset.

1. When someone is a Mr. Helpful. ("She wouldn't be a in preflop raised hand without something good, call her.")

2. When someone with a totally inferior hand draws out after an all-in and gets four of a kind.

3. When someone picks their nose then throws chips in a pot I know is mine. Ew.
