How can I tell if a player is being disruptive?

Every table's got those players who just gotta ruin the vibe for everyone else. Here are some signs you're dealing with a disruptive player:

•They talk trash and put others down. Some people can't resist insulting or psyching out the competition. But abuse ain't acceptable even at a poker table.

•They slow the game down arguing over every little thing. There's debating a rule call and then there's being annoying about it. Dragging the game out ain't cool.

•They disregard basic manners and etiquette. Whether they're loud, sloppy, cheating, or just lacking respect for others' space and stuff. Some people don't know how to act in public.

•They posture or get physical to intimidate. One wrong move away from trouble. Threats or actual violence means get the hell away from that table and get casino staff involved quick.

•They're drunk or high out of their mind. Impaired judgment means bad decisions all around. Best avoid playing with them altogether if they're that far gone. Let management deal with it if needed.

•They kill the mood and good time of everyone else. If their behavior's making it not fun to be at the table, even if it's not strictly abusive, the best play is often finding a new game. Why should one person ruin it for the rest?

Long as we're just enjoying some poker, minor annoyance is part of the territory. But if a player crosses lines, don't engage—get help or get out. The point is having a good game with good people. Ain't settling for less.
 
I think many disruptive players are just being like that intentionally just to make you lose concentration on the game. Many of them just use those trait as strategy to get into their opponent's head
