Don't you hate this.....

My fasha-in-law talks the whole time we play. There have been numerous times where I have had to tell him to stop talking. He will say things like; if three or four flush cards hit he'll say, ok who has the (place whatever suit here) or the samething if the board is staightening. A few weeks ago we had a home tournament with 20 players and a $60 buy in. One hand that I was involved in had a huge pot building up, by the end of it I had pushed all in and the other player was sitting thinking if he was going to call or not. My father-in-law then said, are you serious? you have to call, look at your pot odds. It didn't matter to me either way, as I wanted the call, holding quad A's. I still got pissed and no sooner then he had said it I looked right at him and said, could you please stfu if you are not in the hand!!! The guy ended up calling and I won the pot. If I were him, I prolly would've kicked him in the nuts.

If you are not in the hand then STFU!! Maybe the other players don't even realize that the board is straightening/flushing or they don't pay attention to pot odds. After the hand is over, fine, game on talk all you want.

Another thing is when players fold there cards and try to hold on to them until the hand is over to see/show what might have happened. This shit is no good in my house either. You fold you throw your cards in the muck to the dealer. Tell us after the hand is over what you would've hit or if it was a good fold or WTFE.

Carbon Poker has "quick tabs" that I like a lot. Usually I'm playing more than one table and they help me convey thoughts like nice hand and lol without having to type in the chat box.. I don't mind the chat box though, I just prefer not to "say" too much, but I do keep my ears/eyes open for helpful, although maybe stupid, comments to help my own game play...

quick tabs would be awesome, i wish FT would get them, that way you wouldn't have to deal with everyone else being jerks

[wrestler75]

do alot of the sites have quick tabs? i know you said carbon poker, but i didn't know if other sites had them

quick tabs are great but i like being able to chat with friends on the table. I also hate when people make comments at the table in a live game. I play at a card room where the dealers are pretty good about saying something to people that talk about the hand while its still in play. Which is very nice.

Talking about a hand in play that you are not involved in is taboo live or online. Too much of a chance to giving out info.

AW, so reminds me of my Dad! (whom I call 'fascha' all day)
Only, he's less serious about what he says when he's the observer of my games, being that he
A) Isn't smug about it and
B) is just a cutie trying to understand the tactics of players. I don't get too heated over it.
Although he means no harm, it cost me a final table game once.
I was chip leader yada yada. :(
It was really distracting and siked me out.
