Default Don't you hate this.....

When you are sitting at a table, maybe you have a hand, maybe you don't, but when the flop comes, the moron next to you says, "Damnit, I knew I should've called". That is the most destructive form of bad etiquette you can show. Not only are you being a crybaby, you are also giving information to all of the players who are still in the hand.

I love those words. That means max raise and when he folds, be sure to thank him verbally for his contribution.

I think he is talking about a guy that already folded. Who is basically saying he shouldn't have folded because the board gave him a great hand.

Some will even go so far to say "Damn it, I folded the K!" when 3 kings flop letting everyone know that he would have had quads - while the hand is still playing. It's usually just rookies meaning no harm, but it's common sense not to fuck it up for the others still playing the hand. Hands should only be discussed after they are over. And yeah, no one likes a whiner, anyway.

On the same note a similar experience...Main Event 2005 Top 18
Mike Matusow in a heads up pot...Shierkhan a rival player which has been verbally sparring against Matusow...Flop comes...Shierkhan yells dammit and slams the table...Matusow says "I'm in a hand can you shut the f**k up!"
Both players are given a 10 minute penalty!

This happens so much, that I'm usually looking at people who are out of the hand when freak low pair flops hit, for that info. Although I wish it wasn't part of the game at all. Down with rabbit hunting!

This is wrong in so many different ways it's not even funny. I suppose it's ok AFTER the hand is over because I do that once in a while but it is totally unacceptable when the hand is still in play.

EVERYtime a player does this I highly suggest you report them as it is against all TOS on every site. I make sure to report them and let them know I did.

You can use that to your advantage. It doesn't preclude someone from having a hand but at least you know some of the out cards are taken. If your next to act bring it in and let them try to figure out if you have something or not.

If i have a Q-rag3 and Q-Q-6 flops for example. I may say after the hand is over at a friendly mtt that i folded the Q !! But every player should know it bad to TABLE TALK during a hand in play !!
