Blistering Sands - double entrance is a total pain against competent Zerg.. it's not so bad against P since I play bio, but with mech or bio-mech against Zerg, it's almost impossible to safely defend your expo and your other ramp..
Jungle Basin - Annoying as hell, I die to alot of early pressure on this map.. double ramp is also a pain. Easy 3rd for a T, but usually I never make it there.
Shakuras Plateau - Most Z favored map imo at the moment, especially when you're playing against bottom left vs top right positions.. so hard. Bottom left vs bottom right can be alright, timing push through the rocks, but this map is a total pain.
Scrap Station (Just because I get sick of just beating down 1 base Banshee/Void Rays over and over again on the ladder - though I uncheck it reasonably often to practice on it)
I had Delta Quadrant checked off until recently, for no good reason other than the fact I wasn't playing a lot when it and Xel Naga got released so didnt really want to have learn 2 maps at that time.
I had DO checked off too until they took it out of the ladder pool.
I don't thumbs down any maps and just play the games out as they are. I'd have to admit some maps will be harder for certain races once your opponents know the exploits but then again you can always treat it as a learning experience.

Life is short, why waste it on sleep.
Blistering Sands - Every Terran just 3/4 rax rushes.
Delta Quadrant - Kinda close bases, don't like playing vT there.
Steppes of War - See Blistering Sands.
i never uncheck any maps its better to be familiar with all maps if you intend to play tournament games. makes good practice to have good building placement
Steppes as zerg. Also dislike DQ but I've been getting more used to it lately. Might veto it again if i start losing too much on it. Used to have trouble deciding between kulas, desert oasis, steppes and DQ but it's much easier now.
As a protoss player, only Scrap Station. I absolutely HATE that map.
I know I should probably leave it on, cause almost every tourney has that in the map pool, but I just can't stand playing on it =[
As a protoss player I have
Lost Temple - hate getting tank dropped / tank contained
Delta Quad - dont have alot of experience on this map and dont like being korean 4 gated / drop play harrassed
Scrap Station - Hate it vs zerg
