Kickboy asked me a question in the
Wynn Poker Tournament thread about players that are annoying.
Two types of players come to mind, and are at the top of my list:
- The antoganistic and argumentative player - there is almost nothing worse than playing in a great poker game and having the fun mood spoiled by some jerk who wants to argue with other players, the dealer, try to create fights and a create generally negative mood spoiling the bad players fun. Any positive expecation the antoganistic player may bring to the table is quickly negated by spoiling the bad players fun. I've seen it happen numerous times, where some guy is being a jerk, and the tourists just get up and leave.
- The Know It All - the guy who thinks he knows it all and constantly tries to educate players and tell them how bad they played their hand, why they shouldn't have called, etc. For example, the know it all might say something like "how could you call two bets with your gut shot straight you were only getting 4 to 1 on the pot and you are 11.5 to 1 to make a straight, you should buy a book." I know it sounds far fetched, but I've heard these type of comments a lot over the years.
What kind of players annoy you?
