whoooaaaa. He just randomly came after you on twitter for something you did in an 11r?

a poker buddy of mine who plays really well but is very close-lipped at the table and almost never talks totally comes out of his shell when a girl who he must have thought was the girl of his dreams comes and sits in our uncapped 5/10 game. he had long hair and was sitting next to her, and started asking her what kind of shampoo she used. i think her response was "what?" followed by "seat change button please". to his credit, he's a nice guy and this chick is stuck up and plays off her boyfriends trustfund-roll. i just thought it was funny that he was smelling her hair at the table and thought that might be a good line to break the ice.

it got a little awkward, because he was persistent, and over the next week or so i think she finally berated him. he also got some sort of weird smile on his face anytime he played a pot with her.

i got berated by a girl once when it went check/bet/raise/raise/shove when I had AQdd w/ NFD on an A-5-7 board and she said something to the effect of "i guess you think because i'm a girl i can't ever have ace-king there, i was such a favorite".

best line i ever delivered to a girl at the poker table; "you should come visit me in dallas sometime"...she was on a date and the guy she was with had staked her to play in the game and was sitting across from us. we've been together 3.5 yrs now.

I think he was referring to one of Katie's recent blog posts

dgirl's nasty, can you coach me?

that's pimp, yo

What really happened here was that this guy was semi-bluffing on the flop and turn, missed his draw, and made that statement to save face so he wouldn't look like a pussy. I suppose there's a small chance he had top pair/lousy kicker, but he definitely didn't make a big fold (though clearly he wanted to make it seem that way).

Still, that's a great quote. When I get old I'm going to use it.

jw, but if they are online, how do you know for sure they are men?

standard line here

Pretty sure I know who you're talking about, was he Canadian by any chance?

biggest score i ever had at any table.

Zach, I'm not sure. He was a little overweight with dark brown hair, kinda pale. He's at borgata quite a bit.

I get these kind of comments a lot, as if the guy can only handle me winning the pot if he verbally concedes and acts like he is being chivalrous in the process.

I was asked no fewer than 5 times if I was excited to be the "last woman standing" in a tourney last week, made even sillier by the fact that no other women played in it AND guys were asking me before we were even in the money. When did the whole LWS thing even start?

ESPN has been doing that for years in the Main Event coverage. Monkey see, monkey do.

bump

I think I said in a similar thread elsewhere, that I am constantly embarrassed for men by what I hear other guys say to women at the table, so I was able to take it pretty well when I was on the receiving end of that nonsense.

A few nights ago, I got berated by a woman poker player for the first time. I held 9d2d, flop came down K22, and she paid off my pot/pot/pot line with TPNK, and explodes: "How can you play that **** you idiot [f word for a gay guy] I can't believe I lose to stupid people like you." On and on for maybe 30 or 40 seconds in a loud voice.

her BF is standing behind her watching, and he leans down and whispers in her ear. I can't hear what he says, but I know what it must have been: "eh, it was a limped pot and he was in the BB."

She looks at him, looks at me, and and back at him and says, "He was? Well ****, him the ****ing ******."

lol...I've been berated by a few women at the table....all of them older Asian women, for some reason. If I ran for office, that's a demographic I apparently won't be able to count on.

Mpethy, we need to meet up one night since we're both in Vegas.

whoaaaa this is the ladies forum...gotta invite the lady mods to any meetups

Hey, I'm all for that! Name the place and time and I'll be there.

Don't make me move this conversation to the Vegas thread

(by not inviting me)

Would love to meet up with you and some of the other ladies here in Vegas. Just hadn't figured out how to say so without it sounding like a cheap come on, lol.

Dominic, JM3, that goes for you guys, too, of course.

LOL.
I'm down to meet up with any and all mods
lmk when! although starting Friday I am grinding the **** out of the Caesar's Winter Classic and will be stuck there for 20 days........glgl meeeee!

LOL

PROPERLY MADE ME LAUGH

earlier this week at Caesars in Vegas, I'm playing a turbo donkament and just shipped two huge pots back to back. 1000 y/o fossil from Oklahoma grumbles to the table, "I sure liked it better back in the old days when we kept 'em barefoot & pregnant."


*blink blink*

my response: "well sir, I can take my shoes off if it makes you feel more comfortable?"


he busted like four hands later. teehee!

+1, can't wait to get old

I once tried a female name on a pokersite and the chat annoyed the **** out of me. Its the only one of several accounts on which i lost money. So i guess you have to have a strong personality to be successful as a female player. Anyway, shout outs to all the girls in here.
