I HATE poker because..

Feel free to give us your bad beat stories, pet hates, angry, poker related rants and anything you feel sums up why you sometimes just hate this beautiful game.



When I am on a downswing, not only do I lose a ton of cash, but I also kid myself into thinking I am actually a very good player but just got unlucky...... Nick (Northwest UK)



I never even knew I could go on 'tilt' until I played online poker. Now I do it at the Cinema, the supermarket, pretty much everywhere. Thanks poker!!   Ricky (Lancashire. UK)



I can spend all day 'getting it in good' and still be losing at the end of it. Seriously, where do you get off calling my preflop 3 bet with 10-8 of hearts?!?!?!? You obviously knew that the runner runner flush was coming. (true story) Rigged!!!   DF (Essex. UK)



It will make me spend 5 hours playing in an online freeroll, just to get in the cash and earn $1.20 for my night's work. WHY???? It was only $45 for the winner FFS.   Richard E Can't (Lancashire. UK)



I hate playing live poker when the person at your table uses phrases like 'pot odds' or fold equity' without having a clue what it actually means.   Andros (Manchester. UK)



I can lose a full buy-in of $50 at one table in less than the time it takes for me to open up 5 more tables to start my daily grind.   Jim (West Yorkshire. UK)




It costs me a fortune in replacing my monitors when I keep throwing them out of the window after the fish at the table hit his 3 outer AGAIN!!   Rob (Essex. UK)

 

I once played drunk and thought I had won about $400, only to find out the next day that I had been on the play money tables. Looking back, those guys did play a lot of hands pre-flop.....  Ricky (Brazil)


You play for 8 hours live and end up with £10 profit after just scraping in to the money and getting done by a drunk fella that still can't remember to put his blinds in.   Graham (Manchester UK)
