I know I've been away from poker for a while, but why did it matter if he had a high club?

Re: SLOWROLL AFTER NITROLL AFTER SLOWROLL... [Warning: Strat inside]

OP,

Do you know what low variance is? When you are down to pocket change and giving BJs in the McDonald's parking lot so you can scrape together a buy-in, you don't want to be shoving your bottom 4 card straight on a flush board that started out 6-handed.

That's almost as bad as taking all your money to roulette and betting it on purple

And much like betting purple in roulette, your hand in this spot is never winning.

Here is a hint. Next time you are down to selling plasma and working on your knees to get that buy-in, only shove w the near nuts or better. And snap fold all high variance spots. You have a straight on a flush board...fold. you have AA and four villains see the flop and someone shoves...fold. You have two pair when flush hits on river a V shoves into you...fold.

To those of you making it sound like I had to suck **** in the parking lot, lol? It was my last buy in before I have access to more funds (pay, transfers, etc). I'm a whale. Company transfers take a few days to process.

This makes it even worse...

rather than just wait a couple of days until the transfers came through, you were compelled to work your "magic" in the local parking lots.

No one is saying what you did is wrong, BJ wise, hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. But Dirty Sanchez-es and Rusty Trombones??? Talk about a complete loss of self respect.

I was going to make a thread about a hand I played really badly and subsequently lost but then I found Vegasboy had it covered.

Thank you.

Cliffs:

- OP sucks dick to scrape a buy in or 2 together, even though he's a whale who will have access to funds in a couple of days.
- Evidently, he is under charging for the 'rusty trombone' technique.
- OP is mad

i know a bunch of whales that refer to themselves as "vegas boy"

the most tilting thing for me is i read title and actually thought this thread might be worthy of my time. you owe me 10 minutes of time, i expect payment though i understand it could take a few days to process. the way that my bank account is set up, the thing is, i have a checking and a savings... but all my money is in my savings... so i gotta switch it to my checking, but it's gonna take 3 days to go through.

Re: SLOWROLL AFTER NITROLL AFTER SLOWROLL... [Warning: Strat inside]

To my surprise, Villain fires $200. I only lose to a flush here. What are the odds that he has just that? I mean he did bet out the flop into 5 people, why not slow-play a bit? Either way I have pretty much the 2nd nuts here.
