Here is a place we can have a good old rant about the things that wind you up the most people do when playing online poker.

This is not a conspiracy poker is rigged thread.

I’ll start:

A) PEOPLE WHO USE THEIR WHOLE TIME BANK EVERY SINGLE HAND IN A HYPER GAME OR FASTWORWARD CASH GAME!!!!!

(Fast forward is where you can fold and immediately go into another hand it’s a fast format intentionally)

Now I understand multi tabling but do not act, then my action take less than a second then use your whole bank again. Especially in hyper games man it’s so annoying these people should get some kind of penalty.

The fastforward issue is when you are on BB you cannot fold even if you fold until someone raises or you check in now when you have 72 off and this idiot waits the whole time bank then just calls it kills me because I’m never ever folding when I can check I just can’t do it but it is TORTURE because in my head no one is so awful so they must be slow rolling a monster - to find they check the whole way with 2 3 off. It drives me insane 🤣🤣

My 2nd biggest bug bear is the min reraise by the BB into a 5 way pot. Especially when it’s just 20chips more like anyone is going to fold that when they’ve already invested double, and the pot odds are good.

3rd and final for now is another time bank. People who don’t understand HAND FOR HAND PLAY and still drag their bank when it’s hand for hand.

Man I have many more (like limping from first or going all in for 50BB to a 3BB pot. Whoop whoop what a pay off. Your whole game for 30 chips!). Or checking limping AA then checking to the river then smashing all in and throwing fish for an hour when BB calls with 57 off coz they hit the nut straight. Throwing stuff full stop I mean really? Don’t like it shouldn’t be encouraged.

Go on let me hear what really gets you mad!

I totally agree with everything you said... I would add slow rollers.... who deserve their own spot in poker jail,

and players who expect the whole table to wait on them because they're multi-tabling and "it takes time to catch up

with hands on the other tables so don't complain"..., don't multi-table if you can't keep up with it, all the other

tables are playing and our table is just stuck waiting on the same player every hand 🙄🫣😮 lol

I guess you're talking about me.
Sorry, I have a slow brain. I don't know how to make it work faster.

Being in a CC league game and having a bully open with huge raises nearly every single round specifically when I'm in the BB, and having this happen again and again while getting nothing but absolute garbage for hole cards and being unable to fight back without risking my stack.

League makes it different than just a freeroll or a low-stakes game, in those I would just shove with ATC rather than getting bullied but it's not the same when you have a team relying on your performance.

People who stall on final tables. That's how I always imagine some of them when I see this kind of action, lol:

100% slow rolling is just horrible etiquette and really frowned upon in live poker, also bad winners are 100x worse than bad losers. The laughing and throwing shit especially if they won with the worst hand. But anyone who says sorry when they win a hand makes me so mad no one is sorry they won a hand come on. 🤣

I doubt it you can tell genuine slow thinkers to those who are holding everyone up due to multi tabling - but if you are slow just please stay out of hyper games please :)

Yes annoying same as the heads up player that’s played the whole tournament well then heads up goes and ruins it by going all in every hand like they can’t handle the pressure and want to leave it to chance and it always coincides with a dry spell. Just stay patient,, don’t rise to it, trust me you’ll get them - those players only get big stacked because people call them light getting wound up, play your game don’t be manipulated:) Often when you do call they flip up AA And your 97s wins and it feels great lol
