Things I hate about internet poker.

Getting disconnected when you've just gone all in and you hurry back to find you're out!

No thats not bad. Raising a large amount, THEN getting disconnected is worse. Coming back to find that matey boy was quite happy to hit "raise" and steal the pot from your now disconencted wee hands. You now have to perform the short stack shuffle.

For this reason I have the time connected window, because orange dial-up see fit to disconnect me every two hours. Roll on the broadband connection!

Hit and run players are fine by me. Anyone who wins money off me is very welcome to bugger off. Its the losers that I want to stick around

I hate rudeness to players.  Tonight I was playing a cash game and there was a guy who was playing anything and hitting every flop.  He took a couple of pots off me and a few others at the table.  Normally I would get p....d off and start tilting, but I remained calm and I knew I would recover my loses if I just listened to my whales and dolphins MP3 and relaxed. But my opponents were being rude to the guy big time. There is no need for this.  I knew he would give us the cash back and he did.  When he went all in and was called, he held J,8 and lost everything he had infront of him.  The guy that beat him wrote "thanks"  "fish" , etc.  There is really no need for this, I would never slag someone off that had just lost all he had at the table.  It is bad business and there must always be respect at the table in my opinion.

I also hate hit and run players.  I wait at least 5 hands after winning a pot, even if I don't play another hand. 

I don't mind hit and runs, but rudeness is uncalled for even if the guy is annoying. Rubdowns are one thing, but rudeness isn't. If a person is willing to put his money in with crap cards, he deserves a certain amount of respect for doing so even if it cracks your aces. And he is entitled to take that pot just as much as the next person.

I like to be rude to the rude people.

I like flowers and puppies and full moons and lollypops

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with strings,
these are a few of my favorite things

I like big butts and I cannot lie......

So many times! LOL.

I wish my PC could read my thoughts and just register me!

Hit and runs are annoying sometimes, have been playing a lot of short handed and HU cash the last few days and i had a guy yesterday who when he finally won a decent pot against me just upped and left!

I just think its pretty bad form to just leg it. If say, I was just playing a bit of HU cash before a tourney starts I would usually let them know I would be finishing in 5 minutes. My biggest peeve is why does your internet connection only give out for the night during MTT's when your going strong in our around the chip lead, getting good cards and hitting flops. Never happens when your down to your last 300 chips running like Thora Hird and want to watch a film on sky anyway.

And getting disconnected when you're playing a heads up match - because that's pretty much the same as if you'd gone all in.
