[Talking Poker]

I think the thing that I hate the MOST about (it's a very short list) is that after one hand finishes, they start the next one VERY quickly - usually faster than I can "reload" if I need to.

In this example, I'm sitting with $289 instead of $400, because the reload didn't go through quick enough (my AKs lost to AQ the previous hand when he caught a third queen on the river and I paid him off).

If nothing else, this is a good lesson for why you should always sit with the max.

To make things worse, I doubled this guy up later when my flush lost to his full house... so really, this 1/2 second too slow reload cost me $222 in total.

That sucks.
