Do you try to avoid certain players?

[Sark79]

I have a list of about eight players on pokerstars HU games that I avoid. This isn't through being afraid of them, it is because they are so slow at playing.  This drives me insane and I start to get rattled.  When they get a time countdown every hand they play it gets so frustrating that I can't deal with it.  The four player HU on pokerstars are excellent but two mega slow players can make the games last for over an hour sometimes.  I like it to be fast and flowing always

Are there any regular players you play online or Live that you prefer to stay away from?

If I am playing 6 seater NLHE cash I will try and avoid picking a table with more than one 'good' player on it (as far as I can judge).

It's not a case of fear, it's just less likely to be profitable.

I look at it like a Boxer would.  If he can pick two fights that have equal money and are both going to get him the crack at a title somewhere down the line, it is better to avoid the dirty fighter that may head butt him or use other cheating tactics. I am not suggesting playing slow is cheating, but I can't deal with overly slow players who let the clock count down every single hand. At some point there should be a rule on this sort of thing, even when he gets delt AA he lets the clock count down. It drives me insane

sark check and see how many games he guys is in the more he is in means the slower your games going to be

true, that is a good way to look at it.  I will run a search next time.

i used to chat a lot while playing poker. i find it puts me off my game now so i avoid my old poker buddies in an attempt to win more. ive had some crackers who follow me about the tables and ive had to report a couple of people who have called me some nasty names i dont want to repeat. there are some real creeps out there who only want conflict. sometimes i like that though when i need to blow off steam:)
