Gimmicks — things like throwables for example.
The worst of the bunch is the slow reveal of the river card on GGPoker.
The new pay-for-timebank feature on GG seems disgusting. And those animations, that everyone is so fond of by the looks of it, are not just annoying. They helped a player cheat on GG, allowing him to know which hands he wins. Just search for GG cheat scandal.
The app Doug Polk promotes is fucking retarded as well. Only 1 tabling, no auto-reload, you can't even browse the lobby if you are sitting on a table.
Stars has the same annoying features like GG but you can turn them off. That doesn't mean they didn't fuck up their software to run poorly even on a decent gaming PC.
Party update their software like once a week. I don't know why they even bother, they have like 4k players at peak hours. What's annoying is that your "remember acc and password" feature gets wiped out every update. And they also had a bug for the longest time where after an update the software opens like 20 times and freezes your PC.
Literally every room has poor tournament filters. At least on stars you could write "-sat -women" to filter out tournaments you don't want to show up and you could also add favorites. But they updated it so the filters became worse (5 card PLO show both Hi and HiLo, same with Courchevel) AND they removed favorite tournaments from the favorites tab for no fucking reason at all. Seriously, it's like operators of those rooms don't even play poker at all...
Oh yeah, the cash-out feature on stars and whatever it's called on other sites. I can't particularly say it's a scam but you can't say it doesn't open the door for a potential scam. We play poker to play against other players. When they cash out in an all in pot, we are left out to race against the house. And the saying goes "the house always wins".

I just discovered that if you want a 4-colour deck on KK you have to pay hard cash — and a lot of it.
So in order for your cards to be of color, you have to drop a big bribe? They should add another K to their name.

stars has no tourneys at all anymore? Or is it my filters?
Your filters, probably. I get 1000+ tournaments for 1-6$.
They also empty the schedule on the day of a maintenance. It could be that they are doing maintenance just for your country.

Hey all, thanks for your answers!
No problem!
Was this question just curiosity, or do you have some annoyances yourself that you could tell us about?
