Following on from youts thread, what makes you angry at the poker table?
I am pretty laid back but two things wind me up.
The first that makes me fairly annoyed is when a player (or worse, more than one) starts attacking a 'fish.' Firstly, don't attack my profit margins and secondly, every player has a right to play every hand however he wishes. I normally respond by attacking the original attacker, though I doubt that optimises my play.
But the one thing that is guaranteed to wind me up is when someone puts a beat on me and then says sorry. In chat I am usually calm but then I am screaming at the laptop "Don't be sorry, just don't play like a fking idiot!"

I really want to see your face at that time, please send me photo
In poker, I really angry when got card dead so long then suddenly I got premium hand, I played it and lost !! or for along time didn't get good card, just saw my winning hand is crap card like 83os. so I just watch poker, not play . Third when I saw someone so lucky (win with any crap card) and beat me.

That sounds like something that I would do, hopefully not to you... I sometimes do it when I get the money in against a dominating hand, like an over pair or better ace, and win the hand anyway. Just acknowledging me sucking out. Never realized it might cause offence... Better not risk saying sorry for "saying sorry" either, I suppose
I don't really remember getting angry playing poker, with anyone other than myself. And even with myself I'm very forgiving...

My feelings on this are completely irrational and I don't know why it annoys me lol. And it doesn't bother me at all when someone I know says it. If someone says 'ul' then that doesn't bother me.
Very strange of me I know
Maybe it is because I believe the person saying it isn't really sorry, so it just feels like they are rubbing it in
k lets start with what makes me angry - not much only people who want to come at the top as fast as they can so they kill my game and the game in general. And other thing that makes me angry is my big raise and donk that follows and the cards that i hold - dont even apear. Third thing is the toughest and its the flush hitting first 2 of the flop and then no sind of it and i follow in hope its gona come. That is one of the hardest lost for me in general.
Pokerstars RNG when running deep in a tournament 33 vsJ10 JJ3 flop 4th J on turn and when getting close for a ticket in a sattelite KJ suited small stack shove AJ I call flush left with five big blinds left next hand JJ I shove K3 diamonds flush and out Pokerstars RNG is fucked up.
Nothing makes me angry, I'm a machine lol just kidding.
Of course it's annoying when people talk s**t online but don't let it make you angry. Also I agree it's dumb to say sorry after a poker hand no matter how it happened. Even if it's not a suck out, saying sorry to someone after you trap him is just gonna sound stupid hehe
I find I play my best when I'm enjoying myself so that's why I try not to see poker like a job but like a hobby that can give you money.

i am really getting very angry at poker tables when i am in an important hand and suddenly out of the blue i start to feel a desperate need to go for a quick sh1t. i am really lost in two minds here- whether to continue to play the hand and poop in the pants or to skip the chance to make a million or so, throw out the hand and run to the toilet.
