Another annoyance that might make me move is when someone is hitting BET MAX every hand and it goes ding ding ding ding ding.I understand why they do it, but it drives me absolutely nuts.


 It annoys the hell out of me, too.  Why do they do it?

I sometimes do it for the ding ding ding ding ding.  It is a casino, after all. But no, not every hand. That would be annoying.
