My Top Ten Pet Peeves....

So First I started out by trying to brainstorm a good topic that would be funny. I went over the classics, like Michael Jackson, OJ Simpson. Then I thought of making joke threads. Then I thought I could copy the TUM alter ego concept, but then I realized that I didn’t want people to think I was an arrogant douchebag. So I scratched all those ideas. Then I thought of doing satire. And the topics just simply weren’t coming to mind. I struggled for hours whilst I browsed porn sites. I had no good ideas at all and a mess to clean up to boot.

But the poor start to my brainstorming did not discourage me. I decided to change my environment to something a bit more mentally stimulating rather than distracting. I turned up the volume on my headphones and blared rap into my ears as I played internet poker for hours upon hours. This time I had an idea that I thought struck a bell. So without further ado…


My Top 10 Pet Peeves When Playing Texas Hold‘Em Poker:

5.) People that make comments about having Pocket Aces every hand. Seriously people, anyone who has played for more than like 15 minutes will have heard that joke at least twice.

4.) Splash Bums. Anyone know those people who after every time they lose their stack, they ask for a splash of the big blind. Well I call them Splash Bums. Because that’s what they are. Pathetic individuals who beg for money so they can feed their pointless addiction to alcohol or in this case poker.

3.) Donators. These are the people who continuously give money to the Splash Bums. Seriously, there are better ways to flex your gigantic stack. Go all in a couple times. Maybe talk about how you are going to take everyone’s money by bullying the table. Don’t splash that bum the small blind every time he loses, so we have to make a side pot every damn preflop. That’s even less funny than the guy that says he has Pocket Aces every hand.

2.) All-in Guy. This message is for all you “All-In Guys.” I’d rather that before you sit down and buy-in that you either A give me all your money to begin with, or B take the stack from one or more people and then hand it to a random person at the table along with the money that you were planning on buying in with. My reasoning behind this... Both A and B will be the end result after about approximately 20 minutes of sitting down at the table, so rather than wasting our time annoying us, just let us play with the end result of what you would have done and call it good.

1.) The River. I think everyone who is even semi-serious (in this case we’ll be liberal and include those who merely have a desire to win a single hand in a game of play money poker) knows about the River. Other than the fact that words cannot describe my undying hatred for the River, there is really no point in saying what is so annoying about the River, because everyone already knows this anyway. But this thread needs to be funny, so I will say what doesn’t need to be said for the sake of being pissed. The term River comes from Dante’s Inferno. In the book he described there being 9 levels of hell. And in the 7th, there resides the home of swindlers as well as angry Texas Hold’em Poker Players. These people must live out their eternity wading and swimming through rivers of ****.

Things I hate playing multi-table online tournies:

1) When some guy plays a hand like 9-4 offsuit after a pre-flop raise. The flop will come out like A-10-9, the raiser will bet, the fool calls. The turn is a 4, the raiser goes all-in, the fool calls that too. The guy who raised preflop shows A-10 - he's a huge favorite, but the river comes.. and its a 9. The fool wins the pot taking out the raiser. Now this in itself doesn't bug me as such (unless I am the raiser)

What drives me out of my mind in that situation, is when some other yahoo at the table says "nice hand". Which hand was nice? The A-10 that got rooked by the moron? Cuz the 9-4 offsuit played on a raise is NOT a nice hand!!

2) When you have a guy like 9-4 dude at your table, and they're cleaning up with their BS - and you get moved to new table before you can take their money

Now you see why I had trouble coming up with more, because I could just lump all of this in my biggest pet peeve, which I like to call the 7th level of hell. I've been wading through Rivers of **** since I started playing. Yarg!!!!

The worst is when you play blackjack and whenever someone says, "hit me" someone makes a punching action and snickers. Those people are the devil in disguise, seriously.

Another Pet Peeve

Your hand is 10 7 suited and you're sitting on the button. The flop comes out and you are sitting at a large table with 7 people still. The flop comes and it's 5 8 J. The big blind was sitting on the Big Blind special and bids the minimum bet. Two people call. After having calculated pot odds while the others were deciding whether to call or fold you realize that you are in a great position for a bellybuster draw and double the bet. One person folds and the rest call. A King comes on the turn, but everyone checks around the board. Happy at your clever play buying yourself a card, you check as well to see the river, which happens to be a 6 making a straight! The big blind again bids the minimum bet to which only one person calls. You double the bet and are immediately doubled back. You go all-in and as you see him push his chips in, you double check the board making sure there isn't any flush possibility. You confidently turn over your cards and announce your hand...

"Jack high." Your opponent turns over two pair 5s and 8s.
