Yeah we have the same problem in the games in Bath. You fold your trash hand then the flop comes 3-5-8 and you can tell by someones reaction - usually they try to get their cards out the muck - that they've hit two pair, any chance for someone in the hand to bluff at a made straight has gone.

More annoying is when a flop comes say K-J-10 and someone pipes up 'nice flop for A-Q' if you're not in the hand you shouldn't comment on it and even if you are you shouldn't say that. Most common is when a third card of a suit arrives on the river and someone thinks they need to tell the whole table that there's a possible flush out there now! if your opponent(s) haven't noticed it then it's their own fault etc.

And have to agree with you Drwinston the i'm folding but keeping it right here (as in not mucking it) is v.annoying if it's not good enough to play just muck it.

And lastly as Ray mentioned people need to be aware of who's turn to act it is. Not only so they don't act out of turn but also to speed the game up. With blinds being only 20/15 minutes long those 20 seconds or so or looking at someone waiting for them to act only for them to say 'oh didn't know it was my turn' really add up, of course this leads to people needing to keep their cards in view.
