I always see people in BBV bitching about Russians and their poor play. Plus cmon, I play poker, I see them getting berated and laughed off the tables. I see them calling two all ins with Ace rag.
So this is how it goes down.
First of all it starts with location. Purposely putting Russia as the country I live in so when players check your location, it says Russia obv. (had to fire up a new site and gaining myself a russian donk reputation)
I find a table with a lot of chatter and wanna be pro's. I splash around a little, trying to mimic a Russians play. Just hoping people think Im a terrible player (which I admit I am sometimes anyways) Im 3 betting with a3 and check raising with bottom pair giving the guy pot odds so if he has anything in the world, he has to call. Which they do and think "wow lol russia".
Here is an example of two different situations Ive had so far. I wasnt going to create this thread yet but BerrySeboks Russian rant made me pull the trigger early.
So after playing like a donk fish, I switch gears and start playing premium hands hoping other players start donking off to me or over valuing their hands.
I get dealt AQ suited in the BB. I think okay here we go. Button raises my blind as usual thinking he can outplay me. I shove my $40 stack all in (lol)and he snap calls me with AJ. My hand holds and Im up to around $80 now.
A few hands go by and I get dealt JJ. Not the greatest of trapping hands but Ill take it. The table is just waiting for me to start my raising crap. Which I do. Im UTG and I raise approx 2.5 the BB. SB calls and the flop come J 4 3 . Boom, set.
I overbet the pot like I was doing earlier with a3 in this position. It works, donk shoves on me and I call. He shows 99
Bluebomber: Wow
Bluebomber: Russian overbetting a set great way to get value idiot
Bluebomber: who overbets the pot with a set on such a dry board
Bluebomber: horrible no horrific player
Ignri: dont tap the glass
Bluebomber: ur right sry
NICE its working baby!
This was yesterday. Now to today I do the exact same ****. Basically had KK called a reraise with KK (didnt shove I knew if he hit a pair vs me he would never fold) flop come Q 2 2. Sweet board for Kings. I overbet the pot (pot was $6 I bet $7.75). Donk shoves for $94 and change. I call and he has QK suited. My KK holds
N1ckolte: pfff
N1ckolte: since when did this guy learn how to play like that
Jacobson: Id report him to support no way its him playing
N1ckolte: what u mean
Jacobson: no way its him man
Jacobson: its someone else on his account guarenteed
N1ckolte: you know what you're right. Im sending an email right now
Jacobson: good idea
N1ckolte: have fun getting banned russian goof
N1ckolte: bye donk
Obv this will only work for some time as players get to know me but its a large enough network that I will be good for awhile. It cost a few bucks in th ebeginning gaining the reputation but it pays off in the end. Ive had at least 9 other $100- $160ish pots doing this but no chat with the others so no sense sharing those I suppose.
You have to do it with the "omg Im a pro and this guy is easy" type of players. they are the easiest to terp
Obv J-lo threadsaver needed
