Defo dealers/players abuse.

Sure it"s disappointing losing a hand/getting knocked out in a bad beat/bad play, but if you want to berate dealers/players, go elsewhere.

I voted slowrolls......

Would have voted for dealer/player abuse, but fortunately I"ve never really come across it on my travels to date, and hope it stays that way! Slowrolls on the other hand seem to happen everywhere I play, I"m obviously not playing against the right people!

Still don"t care about live poker and don"t play it (APAT's don"t count :-)) so most annoying thing to me is chatbox abuse, even if it is sort of funny sometimes

None of the options above bother me.
The abusive players are obviously in the wrong and there are rules in place to deal with them. They don"t affect me personally, even if a player is abusive towards me. They are the ones that are tilting and I like my opponents to be not thinking straight. I hope that makes sense.

Dark glasses wearers have an advantage over players that don"t wear them because they/I find it easier to spot live tells.

Slowrollers typically don"t do it deliberately they are just inexperienced. The players that slowroll on purpose lack table etiquette which will work against them in the long term.

I wouldn"t want to get rid of chat box abuse because this is a tell. I often enter player notes for players who have typed certain comments which often reveals which level of thinking they are at.


If I could remove one thing from the poker world it would be B O .   #bathorshower&antiperspirantftw

How does wearing sunglasses INSIDE, where there is no real light anyway, make it easier to spot tells?

[Zozzy]

You can observe any opponent without them knowing you are looking at them, because they can"t see your eyes.

I used to think professional players had shades on to prevent others spotting their own tells but this is not the case.

[Zozzy]

If I had to pick one from the list it would be being rude and offensive, especially towards dealers who are just doing a job.

A lot of things annoy me about live poker. My biggest pet hate is people taking too long on every decision, and i also hate it when there is an all in and call, but neither player wants to be the first to turn their cards over, so they both just wait.
