This "logic" was an inside joke on a different poker forum years ago, so while adamant, he might not have been serious. Another variation is AK v. JJ - AK says I have 6 outs, you only have 2 so I'm way ahead. etc.

Same joke as AKo>AKs because two flush draws instead of one. Except Hellmuth once thought it was true.

I played at a casino in tulsa where after every hand this older gentleman was in went to showdown he would say "nice catch." I realized he must have been a new player or a super genius because it was tilting everyone at the table except me. Just those two words.

LHE game, full kill is on. Everybody limps, I fold 9-2o in LP. The woman on my right asks 'How can you fold? I called w/o even looking at my cards.' I ask 'You didn't look? What if you have a raising hand?' Her: 'Why would I raise? Nobody is going to go out.'

With these two guys, I assure you, they were serious. One is the "you're wrong and let me tell you what the rule is" type who is often wrong.

Player calls a large raise preflop OOP with 76o, ends up hitting a straight and stacking someone.

This guy sat down next to me like a half hour ago and WREAKS of weed smoke. Horribly and ridiculously. He's also like 40-50 which is pretty funny.

Player: I guess I'm pretty glad I smoked that joint before I sat down. Otherwise I never call that hand.

There's a reg in my game. If he sees a flop in the SB he always checks dark bec, as he explained 'If I'm the first to check I'm the last to act.'

I love this one. Not only because the speaker is an idiot, but because it's completely disconnected from reality.

Buddy and I are playing 1/3. Buddy has A4s on button. Middle aged fish who had just sat down opens UTG for 8, buddy is the fourth caller, one of the blinds comes along as well. Flop is Axx, pretty sure it was A63 but it's inconsequential. Fish bets 10, all fold except buddy who calls. Turn J, brings backdoor flush draw, fish bets 15, he calls. River is 7 and completes backdoor flush, fish bets 15, buddy is almost positive he is beat by a horribly bad bet sized AK but looks at the 15 bet into a 110 pot and sighs and crying calls and shows his hand. Fish smiles, taps table and mucks, but I was able to see he had deuces.

I am talking to buddy after and say "Probably had to be something like 75 or so for you to fold". Fish hears this, so yeah I screwed up by talking strat in front of fish, but he passionately interjects "You expect me to bet 75 on the river with just deuces? My hand ain't worth that much on the river!"

I am about to point out to him that his hand doesn't matter, the river bluff is about getting my buddy to fold a weak ace, but I catch myself and say "Yeah I guess...tough spot there...not sure what I'd do", and we move on.

I have never seen such a horribly bad misunderstanding of the reasons why one bets and proper sizes and the complete whiff on the idea that a bluff is based on what the other guy has...

He donked off three buy ins before leaving.

Lets try again. Sorry if I did not tell it well.

My buddy faced a horribly undersized flop, turn, and river bet with a weak ace. Almost folded river but called because of how small it was. I asked buddy if he would have folded if it was 75, he said yes; in other words, villain could have won the hand easily by bluffing 75 on river.

Villain emphatically said that he would never bet 75 on river with his hand, completely whiffing on the concept of betting to get him to fold...in his world, you bet your hand, the rest is up to the card gods.

Last I checked, when one bets to get the other guy to fold, aka a bluff, your own hand doesn't matter except maybe for blocker reasons. But he emphatically stood by his assertion that if your hand sucks on river, you shouldn't bet, ever. Don't think that's a winning strategy.

I am about to cash out and so I raise from EP with K7 off (table is really tight - hoping to pick up blinds vs. weak players).

2 callers.

Flop is KQJ (2 clubs). Checks around - I check on button - not enough equity to value bet here. Turn is a Q. Checks around again. River is a 10. Checks around again.

Some idiot (who I've played with before) shows QQ for quads. I couldn't believe it and cashed out. How the F am I supposed to put anyone on a hand in this game? Limp limp limp limp check check check. No chance of reading weakness as actual weakness.

His logic in checking nuts on river - "If anyone has an ace they will bet it." I said, "And you're probably just going to call, right?"

I left - furious that such bad poker players get this lucky - they just don't understand that they are playing for money. Am I the only player in the poker room that enjoys money?

I heard about this guy which was getting ready to cash out then he decided to raise K7o out of position to steal inconsequential blinds! He also somehow thought he was EP and BTN on the same hand! Absurd!

I see this happen all the time. People slow down drastically when they hit quads, to the point that betting comes to a grinding halt. Check flop. Check turn. Small bet river. For some reason as soon as they hit quads, they fell like if they bet someone would automatically put them on quads. And then they complain that they only made $12 with quads.

Guy at Ocean's Eleven scouting the 40NL tables and one of the dealer's asks him what he is doing, he responds, "Just rounding." So absurd on many levels.

I had KK and he had 1010, I bet strong and he knows Im a regular player, he calls me down, I go all in on the turn (the pot got big from pre since I "narrowed" the field with an above average pre flop raise), he says: you either have KK or QQ, Im sure about it.

and he calls

he shows 1010

he hits a 10 on the river

c'mon thats enough.

My story is my own absurd thinking.

Twas a 1/2 game in a local establishment, I was in the sb with 62o, a guy in ep. raised to $6 there was 5 callers I pop it up to $45 It gets folded around to this new guy at the table which I later find out has a pre disposition to calling any bet. He had a stack of around $60 the flop came 222 I flip over my 2 before he could act and state "I dont want anymore of your money" and then started laughing uncontrollably for at least another orbit.

Im not really sure why I did it I just did.

was in florida for christmas playing at the orange park kennel club in jax and a guy cold-calls an open shove for 50bb with j5s and when he loses at showdown vs like ak or something, the guy next to him says, "dude, j5? how can you call all-in with that?" j5 says, "its not about pf, who cares about that, its about what happens on the flop, turn and river." i had to hold in my desire to seriously lol.

pretty sure this is a common thing, and is probably in this thread somewhere, but i once knew a guy that said that every hand is 50-50 preflop because the flop/turn/river are random so you dont know what is going to hit.

when someone asked ok, so 7-2 is the same as AA preflop? he answered yes, because 7-2 can still hit 2 pair

V1 (older reg) raises to $10 preflop with AA. He has a $50 stack.

V2 (Other older reg) says "do you want me to call or fold, whatever you say I'll do."

V1 "I want you to call." V2 "OK, I call."

Flop comes with a flush draw, V1 shoves for $50, V2 calls with a flush draw and hits on the river.

V1 "I'm so stupid! I should have told him to fold. That's how horrible I am that I made myself lose money."

guy said that if he didn't have a read on the table yet he would just open fold AA. said what could be the harm??

Lol. That is pretty awesome.

Home game tonight with very recreational players. Multi-way pot, decent action till river slows things down.

Board reads 9c6c4x turn Jx river Kc.

Checks to button who bets 1/3 of pot. Last player to fold sighs, and says "I got nothing...but was one card away from a straight flush." Then mucks.

Not sure how he expected to get there after the turn...

it was limped pot, im in blinds with K2, flop comes k Q j, i check, one guy bets 10, one caller n i call, turn is K Q J 10, i check, he bets 20, other guy calls, i fold, river is K Q J 10 4, he bets 45, calls 45 show down, first guy didn't show anything , this donk shows J6 for a pair of j.

Conversation after the hand, donk who won the hand was talking to other bettor, seriously man i thought we chopped this pot, i really thought u have a pair of J too, i always like these j's they never lose

"I think you had enough check equity on that river not to shove" LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Board read AQJKx 1st to act had shoved QQ in a HU pot after being called on the turn.

Still hard to believe I saw this hand happen. It was either Tropicana or Taj in AC.

1/2 NL. Limped pot with several players seeing the flop.

Flop comes KQJ. Checks around.

Turn 2. Checks around.

River 10. Checks around again.

3 Players show KK, QQ and JJ. KK wins the limped pot with top set.

I still haven't figured what the "thinking" process was from the players. Any ideas?
