Re: Most absurd poker "thinking" you have heard in a live game?

I once heard a guy talk about how if we won 2 satellites to a WPT event he wouldn't sell the second seat. He explained how selling the second seat would be stupid because "that would be just another player I'd have to knock out." He wasn't joking.

If this is LHE, he might be right.

player 1 shows quads 6's and says "i was afraid you had a jack"
Oh yeah, I had a similar situation.

Board is JJJJx

There's a two way chop (players who had Aces). Another player chimes in "I had an A also", so we ask why he didn't bet and he says "It was A2, so I figured I had a lousy kicker"

Re: Most absurd poker "thinking" you have heard in a live game?

Preflop @ 1/2 NLH game:
I raise pf, player B 3bets, player C calls, I 4bet-shove, player B calls, player C goes into the tank.

He finally calls and wins when he tables A2 suited after the dealer runs it out. Someone comments on his call, and he justifies it by saying, "I was on a flush draw!" (preflop flush draw, that is)

Different table:
Some hand had just ended, a player asks another player to his right, "Do you call with A5s there?" The other player genuinely responds, "It depends on the suit."

Re: Most absurd poker "thinking" you have heard in a live game?

AK for me vs KQ for idiot.

Flop comes King high rainbow, no straight draw. Turn and river are blanks. He calls me all the way down for huge bets with the river taking the rest of his stack. I turn over my AK and he calls me "Super Lucky".

Say What??

On the inside I respond: "I'm super lucky you are stupid enough to blow your stack with top pair king high flop when a tight aggressive player raises 10X big blind preflop"

On the outside I respond: "Yes I am. CHIPS!"

It is wonderful. I can't even stand to play online being a B&M player from the beginning. I just can't help it, Ill sit there in front of my computer grinding out a win against tough players and think "I bet the Commerce has yellow chips flying everywhere right about now".

I've seen a bunch of this... always hilarious!

Action on river:
P1: "I bet."
P2: "You got nothing! I call your bluff!"
P1: "Wow! Nice call. You're right."
...as he tables 66 on a AQTT9 flushing board.
P2 stares at the board, taps his cards on the table several times, and throws them in the muck.

Yeah, I ran across a guy like this once. Explained to the whole table (several times ) about how he NEVER raises preflop, and that way you never know what he has. Crazy! Weird thing is he was pretty good at hand reading, getting value, and making folds, and I'd say he was probably a winner in the game anyway.

I saw him again about a month later. He was raising preflop.

Re: Most absurd poker "thinking" you have heard in a live game?

Playing PLO live. There was a preflop raise and multiway action. Flop comes something like T52 rainbow and after pots and repots my friend gets it all in against one player and they're reasonably deep. My friend tables his set of tens and the other guy says "I'm drawing". Comes running JA and the guy on a draw tables KQ89 for the nut straight to scoop a big pot. My friend says "You were on a draw?" and the guy says "Yeah, I needed a jack for the wrap". My friend says "So really you just had king high no draw?" and guy says "No, I just needed the jack for the wrap" like my friend doesn't understand something so obvious.

Which dealer? That man gets a tip from me on my next visit.

Re: Most absurd poker "thinking" you have heard in a live game?

While playing 2/3 last night the season premiere of HSP was on. The couple next to me (Effective age ~45 yrs) was discussing the Peter Eastgate AK v DN's J2 hand.

On the turn when Daniel turned the boat, the odds were 95% to 5%
22KJ board

The dude says: "Wow, (Daniel) he just hit a full house, Eastgate is drawing dead, Idk why it's only 95% it should be 100%"...

-------------

In another hand between to ''awesome'' live players:

J10 v 10 10

Jack high board, when they go to showdown the guy with J10 says, "wow, youre lucky you didnt catch a 10"
