Omg omg!! I have to tell you about the place where me and a couple of old war buddies of mine play 1-2. It's generally a light game and we end up winning or losing 25 or 50 bucks on a given night.. That is when it's just the uaual gang.
But on those nights when a stranger makes the mistake of sitting at our table, we know that add-on to our house is going to get built tonight. These guys come in after having read all sorts of books and reading internet forums and you can see it in their eyes they are fish out of water. They are about to get a poker lesson, they just don't know it yet.
We all change our play to accomodate this customer by pretending to get upset when this guy raises our limps and we fold a hand or three. Two of us make it a point to discuss strategy and we make sure to use faulty logic when we do. You can see it in the fish's eyes that he thinks he's going to be taking this game down real easy like. We purposely play slow and make sure to count out our chips carefully after saying we will call.
But each one of our little plays sends him a little closer to the edge and then one of us will lower the boom on him. The customer will make a pretty big raise to our limping and keeping up the act of pretending to be upset one of us will suddenly go over the top and watch the guy's eyes light up and shoves all his chips in with his pocket aces.
The key here to have a hand that can flop a draw and eventually hit. 5-8 or 4-6 is the best hand for this. You might think this is a -ev play but the reality is each time we pull this move we're freerolling from all those times our reraise gets the self righteous goof to fold his A-J or stone bluff.
When we hit our straight it's priceless because we know all of our little plays have tilted this goofy internet player. All we have to do is the literally hundreds of innocent little things that put these arrogant twits on tilt. There's not much so satisfying as watching our customer storm away from the table muttering something about 2 and 2 or whatever it is.
He'll be back though, he thinks we're terrible players. All three of us war buddies have banked thousands of these donkey's dollars and all he has to show for it is the opportunity to post his whining on internet forums and some even mention the name of our casino and sends us more customers... Thanks guys. One guy comes to see us at least once a month. I think he's either getting used to us, or he's sweet on Mable the dealer. She's a nice lady amd when she remembers to put in her dentures she is even quite comely. He's good for at least 5 buy ins a night, but lately we've been taking it easy on him so he doesn't get too frustrated.
I tell you, there's not much so satisfying as watching yet another of the endless line of unsuspecting nits who sit with us and go tilt SOOOOOO easily after we play him like a well tuned violin.
So you all come on down and sit with us any time you want, ya bunch of ATM machines.
