Most annoying thing in poker
I never ever critisize another player at the table for making a bad play against me and getting lucky. But the one time that I do find it really really hard not to have a pop is when something like this happens:

Nothing mor irritating than someone betting into an almost dry side pot with complete air. I know in bounties people like to bet into dry side pots with weak but made holdings (still irritates me but understandable) but just arrrgh! When they do it when certainly behind I just feel like bashing my head against the screen. Maybe they do it on purpose to tilt me!

Totally within their right to but at least give me a shot at getting it back hey??
I wish I could remember which one you were talking about. I know I cashed in 3 rebuys recently.
2nd and 3rd in the two different rebuys on the 4th October and 4th on the £11 one on 5th October. Knowing me I probably lost a big flip to go out....
The thing that annoys me the most is when in live games people berate inexperienced players for making what they think are bad plays or for not putting their chips in correctly etc and generally just making them feel intimidated and uncomfortable.
All this achieves is ensuring that they have a thoroughly miserable time and don't come back.
I've played in many a pub or club game where this happens and then the next week the regulars responsible can be heard complaining about the fact that the game dosn't attract more players.
These people just don't understand that if you are a decent player then the only way you're gonna make any money is by attracting players who are less experienced than you and that requires that you make them feel welcome. If you want them to keep coming back and giving you their money you at least have to make sure they enjoy their night out while they're doing it.
On the flip side I think this is one of the best live tells to look out for.
You can quickly identify those players than know all the Poker lingo but are obviously not as good as they think they are or they wouldnt't feel the need to mask their own insecurities by criticising other people.
The regulars who go out of their way to be as inviting and friendly to the less experienced players are usually the ones who have the best game.
"YES YES Who's the daddy now, on yr bike etc".
Just admit you were fishing fella!!!!! - jeeze
"Know it alls" and people who shout "justice"
Online - general chat box abuse from 'kids' who a) wouldn't dream of saying such things to your face, b) LIKE TO USE CAPITALS, c) rarely spell two words in a row correctly, and d) are never very good anyway...
i had a hand today in a sat for the main event, i had a pair and their was me and another villain who ganged up on the shorty so after the check on the flop he decides to make a bet on the turn and strangely enough that card which came on the turn was just what the short stack had to make a pair luckily for the aggressor he was behind the shortie already otherwise i would have raised questions on weather he was multi accounting.
so i just made a comment in the chat box after saying to the guy do you want the villain out or not.
the hand itself is in the BBV.
as for myself it did leave me tilted and even worse later in a Omaha DYM some guy didn't have to sense to check the board like the rest so he helped the short stack again win a hand which would have been beat.
