I never ask to see a hand... in fear of villain turning over the winning hand.

Not that it has happened to me but I've seen people lose pots like that.

Thread from the dead!

I clicked 'cos I wanted to find out about flatbarrelling. I'm gonna start doing some masel', starting with flatbarrelling a couple of these 12 oz'ers of beer. Wish me luck, I've seen people lose pots like this.

You may also have to define the terms "flatting" and "barrelling" for Climhazard.

Kind of surprised OP didn't decide to pump his stack into the pot after the initial raise to $1300 or whatever it was, especially after all that has been described about the table dynamics. I can see some of them folding hands as good as QQ to you as you aren't really a part of the whole fiasco as much as them and they'll think you're simply strong.

sorry for bumping this archaic gem.. but just rewatched 'into the wild' for the first time in at least 5 years. at a point later on in the movie, emile hirsch is at 'slab city' (hippie commune in socal desert) and they speak of the stoners and nudists down at the 'oh-my-god hotsprings' and INSTANTLY this hand history came to mind. like i remembered exact action of flatting T8s for 12 bbz then decided oh wtf might as well stick the other 300+ in after cause why tf not and binking on AK for heaps. i remember reading this hand right after i first found the forums. clearly remember thinking i a) couldn't understand any of what delecto said in what is prob the only legitimate post in this entire thread and b) how terrible the T8s hand was and that guy prob busted not long after. considering i literally never heard anything else about omghotspringz, i'm assuming that was the case. i wonder if the inspiration for his name came from the movie (released 2007) or if he actually went to the place. i'm from socal, and lived in sd for a while, and still have never been or even heard of it.

idk why that means anything. it doesn't. some people might even get upset at the bump. but lol. couldn't help it. blazed as ****, been getting blasted in scoop despite winning on other networks (always doing it so fkng wrong) and it's so late that i'm not even tired anymore. not sure if i wanna take the day off to sleep or just start reg'ing and deal with it later.

def wish i had all the money to play lolive poker during the glory days though.
