When you sit at a poker table with another player that has

Absolutely no table etiquette do you keep quiet or do you say something to the dealer?

Having a donk at the table ks really a double edged sword. In one way it's the type of players you want at your table but like wise when you have nothing but idiots at the table that calls raises with 7-2 or chases a river for a gut shot its almost impossible to use proper strategy.

Ever encountered this problem?

being unpredictable is a strategy nerd. Imagine being a sore loser gambling.

What does that have to do with table etiquette?

Being a donkey and being rude are two different things. If they are splashing chips, slow playing and generally being a jerk then yes I would say something. But if they are just a crappy player then I love having them there, you just have to be careful with how you play against them. Eventually they give their money away, you want to be the person taking it.

Agree. I prefer donks at the table too but as mentioned most strategy goes out the window.

I've played with plenty of jerks at the table. That never bothers me. As far as splashing chips that never bothered me either. I just play tight and wait to catch against them. But poor etiquette. Involving yourself in other people's hands, carrying on a loud conversation. When someone is in a heads up big hand, giving players advice mid hand. I've only ever had to say something to the dealer I believe twice.

Yeah, table talk when you're not involved in the hand is an instant no from me and any decent player knows not to do it. Some players use it to get you on tilt intentionally.

Indeed. The ones that do that are usually easy to distinguish from the ones who just don't know what they are doing or know better but just don't care.

I would expect the house to handle rude bullchit but not tell players how to play their hand lol if paying players wanna be maniacs that is their right to do so. Honestly it's the grinders trying to make a small profit with tight strategy that are the worst to play with imo. Go online and grind away I guess but my experience is mostly a home game where I was the house.

Yeah, at the casino tables proper etiquette is usually enforced when a player calls it out. If it's overly noticeable the dealer or floor manager will chime in. I've seen some real goofs at the table before as I'm sure most players have.

Many times it's harmless and it's just an inexperienced player but there are times that's not the case

Yeah ok, interdasting, I imagined they would be more onto it themselves rather than need a player to call it out but I guess it depends on how serious and like you say if it's harmless or not.

So do you go to casinos and grind poker for hours with expectation of profit? How do you go?

Poor etiquette. Interfering in hands talking out loud to others while someone is in a hand, betting out of turn, discussing the cards you had that you folded while others are still in the hand. Etc etc

discussing cards or betting out of turn is 100% getting the floor involved. Talking loud/obnoxious IDGAF about. I try to tilt those type of people.

because you complained about table etiquette in the OP but the only example you gave was someone playing bad hands

Stop playing 2/5 at your local casino then. Try Teddy KGB's place but you're going to need at least 3 stacks of high society if you want to buy in.

Only thing that would bother me is acting out of turn and discussing folded cards, but bad play is not unbeatable lol. Calling stations are easy money.
