I just had angle shot done on me. I want this thread to be about different angles so we can identify and protect against them.
Post angles you've done or done on you. Here's mine...
Playing a tournament and blinds are 1k-2k-200.
I raise UTG to 4500 with AK
, all fold to the button. Button calls, SB & BB fold. I have about 115k behind and he has about the same.
Flop comes
A 4 9 Rainbow
I make it 11k. He goes in the tank for about 30 second before calling/making it 20k.
The way he Raised seemed totally accidental. He grabbed a stack of 1,000's and cut it in half and then he grabbed 1000 from the front of his stack what he thought were two 500's and quickly threw them in. What he thought were 500's were 5000's. once it hit the felt he said "call."
It really seemed like an honest mistake. He called the floor over and tried to explain. But here was the kicker that made this all believable. He said
"Floor just come here for a second and look at my hand. You think I meant to call or raise?" He showed the floor and then he said "obviously I'm only calling."
Anyway a little chitter chatter and obviously the bet stood. Turn comes and off-suit 3 and I bet 20k.
He lights up and says "now you're just taking advantage of the situation, this is Bullsh*t." He's about the throw his cards into the muck and then says, "karma's a *****, I'ma suck out on you. I'm allin"
I told him "well I'm going to call and you'll see I wasn't taking advantage of the situation." I show AK and he flips over pocket 9's a set made on the flop. River was pointless.
The whole table went nuts on him and I quickly left before I lost my mind.
Anyway, this was the worst feeling I ever had playing poker and I'll never fall for it again. But I'm sure it's not the last angle shooter I'll come across. I want us to share stories so we can know what to protect against. Anyone else have a story?

This. Again. It is so old. Been done forever.
The way to protect against this is to have read about it or seen it done. Now you know, and should be able to fold in the future.
Honestly, I wish this would happen preflop when I have KK. That would be the most fun I ever had folding KK cards up, ever.
But, in the spirit of the thread, I will put forth one.
As seen in a youtube video dispute between poker pros of varied epeen sizes, it is illegal/angle to place high value chips in the back of your stack, and conceal the value of your stack. This angle (either on accident or on purpose) will cause players to make incorrect bet sizes when they think you are having to risk a lot more by calling if you in fact have a small stack versus a big stack.
Avoid: always ask "how deep are you" when considering bet sizing, and actually always do it so you are not exploitable.
Also, avoid the BBV (This subforum) if you dont want to be roasted by degenerate degens who love to degen all day and then degen later while trolling your post and making degenerate selfies.
