PET PEEVES
Picked this off another forum, and was interested to know what sort of response I would get here. If this has been covered in another thread in the past, I apologize. Just wondering what people's biggest pet peeves are poker wise, whether it be things others do, gripes about dealers, whatever.
My top five were as follows.
1. Slowrolling, without a doubt the single most annoying thing at the Casino. Nothing more aggravating than watching a retiree pumpfake eachother five times over who is going to turn their hand first. Once I got so mad I announced to the table that I would have every called hand exposed by the dealer if they didn't knock it off. Which relates directly to my number two pet peeve.
2. People asking that my hand be exposed when I've mucked a loser. I don't know why I find this so aggravating, I guess because at the low limits it seems so pointless. The same people who haven't seen me show down anything but strong hands for the last three hours, but who continue to cold call raises with K6 sooooted are hoping to learn something from this? I don't understand.
3. The guy who attempts to engage you in conversation about how bad the players are at low limits, because they will chase with any two cards. This is annoying because it usually occurs moments after he rocked your AA with a 52o because he was in the small blind, and already committed to the pot.
4. The guy who explains every play he makes like he invented it, especially when it's clear he did something stupid and got lucky.
5. In home games when people say things like "I call you all in".....
6. People who where sunglasses in the 2-5 game and take 40 seconds to make every decision, so they can be just like Jesus.
Anyway, I had an annoying day in Brantford, was unlucky a lot, saw alot of my hands end up losers by the river etc. etc. So I'm looking to vent a little.
Cheers

-Dudes with sunglasses and/or hoods on staring me down at a low limit game. I want to turn and laugh right in their face but I am scared they will misinterpret this as a tell and call me.
-Smelly players.
-Players who just before calling my all in bet say, "well I need to go home anyway".. You know these fkkers are hitting their sht..
-Dudes doing chip flourishes, wearing shades and a hoody, staring me down and then calling my all in while announcing that they have to go home anyway or their mom will be pissed..
2) in home games, players that have busted out wanting to see my hole cards every hand
3) people that say "I'm all.....out" and then fold their cards
