Black Friday pretty much does it for me with online poker...

...because all dead money is at the charity rooms these days, anyways.

So I was telling one of my co-workers about this annoying fat guy I had to sit next to last Saturday at the poker room, and it got me to thinking about the most annoying things and/or people you see at the poker tables. Your pet peeves may differ!

In no particular order:

- Stinky people at the table. Seriously, you're paying $30-$50 to play in some of these live tournaments...don't tell me you can't spend a couple of bucks on a bar of soap and some deodorant, ok?

- Ginormously (is that a word?) fat people at the table. Look, no shame is having a few extra pounds on you, but when you're winded merely from walking over 2 tables to your new seat, it's time to reassess yourself.

- People who complain all night about "not getting any cards". Yeah, it sucks to go an hour with nothing but rags during a tournament, but sometimes you have to loosen up and make chicken salad out of chicken shit. And guess what? The more you complain, the less you'll get paid off when you finally do enter a hand or 2.

- Reminding people that they're in the blinds...more than once in a couple of levels.

- People not in the hand who do a "oooh!" and make comments when they're not in the hand. I'm sure the 2 of us in the hand saw that board throw a 3rd ace out there, or put a full house on the board - we don't need you to draw our attention to it.

- People who will justify any bad call with "I had pot odds!", even though they really didn't. You can tell easy when you ask them what their percentages were...the replies are usually priceless.

- My biggest one: People who wear headphones at the tables, and have the music so loud that every action they do besides an insta-fold requires them to stop their music, take their headphones out, and ask questions like, "Who bet?" and "How much is the bet?". It is no coincidence that these people almost never make a final table, and are usually out early. Once you hit the rail, jam that rap music all you want in your car on your way home, but don't do it at the tables!
