I completely agree! The rest of us at the table just laughed. Nothing good comes from confronting him. The guy had a VPIP near 100%. I just thought it was funny that he didn't realize Jack high < AK.

Lol, what's even funnier is I doubt anyone else would even realize his blunder, or even better, they'd agree with him.

And if true calling station had the odds. A fold post flop would be absurd.

Now that's some absurd thinking.

60:180? I don't know about where you play but in my games people don't usually bet 60 into a 30 pot if they have an overpair. Mostly just for ak when they're begging for a fold. So if I'm the "absurd player" in that situation he has the pot odds to make that call. He needs 3:1 and he's getting a little more than that.

Obv it's player dependent, but a lot of bad players overbet the pot all the time when they are afraid of the two hearts or a straight draw out there. They'll very often do it with top pair terrible kicker too. They make bets that can only be called by hands that beat them.

This isn't a strategy forum so I'll just say your math is off by quite a bit and leave it at that.

I'm at the loosey goosey ride'm wild 1/2 table (which runs as a 1/2/all-in table -- not for the faint of heart). I am last to act on the flop.. board is

A 9 6 rainbow

I flop a set of 6's. The preflop betting tells me no one else has a set (they'd have all been all-in preflop with pocket 9's or pocket Aces). SB bets a pot sized bet, 2 more callers... I have only about $90 in front of me and go all in... the SB (who was the first to bet the flop) calls my all in and the rest fold. Turn is a 9. So now I'm thinking I'm sunk (I reason that he called with A 9)... river is a 3.. I show my boat and the SB turns over...

......

K 10 off suit (WTF?).

Merry Chipmas to me.

UTG Shorty limps AA. After few more limps another Shorty shoves 10,10. Everyone else folds. Flop a 10 and set takes it.

Old guy to my left goes on for 10 minutes non stop, "that's what you get for playing aces that way. Just need to raise with them"

He genuinely believed the outcome would have been different.

Not absurd, just something that happened at the poker table last time out that I found funny:

Middle aged married guy of 19 years chuckles to himself and then aloud shares a text conversation he's just had with his wife:

Him: "I might have to stay later, action here is pretty good."
Wife: "Good table?"
Him: "No, lotta hot chicks."

I had a couple of good ones this week.

Charity event at break they are selling $100 addon for 5000 chips. Blinds at the time were 4000/80000

In 1/2 game I raise cutoff with 66 to $10, small blind three bets to $40. I call. It's HU. Flop king high rainbow. Small blind open mucks QQ as first action.

that's a unique structure

Oops should say 4000/8000

This isnt wierd, just super nitty. Obvs assumed you hit the king or had better and was defeated by the flop. Dumb play, yes, but not strange at all.

I've literally never seen a preflop raiser, much less preflop 3-bettor, open fold the flop. More odd especially with showdown value. Folding QQ to no bet because one overcard came is extreme, and I have to say pretty damn strange. If he check-folded faceup that would be a lot different.

I know I read that Negreanu open folded the river to keep himself from bluffing again this year in the WSOP. That is very unusual, and that is with no chance of having the best hand.

Obviously what he thought. Still very good example of absurd thinking.

This is far more absurd than 75% of the stuff in this thread. I'll allow it!

Not sure if I already mentioned this hand ITT. Planet Hollywood 1/2 during WSOP. I don't remember the details of the hand, but I have AX on a KAK8Ar board. V donks. Hero shoves, expecting a chop, but occasionally getting paid off by the underboat. V snapples and fast rolls 66.

V: "NH, I thought you were bluffing."

Sadly, he does not re-buy.

1/2 table
Buying is max 80 at local casino.
I sit first hand and get dealt 8 10 diamonds. Btn raises to 6 3 callers include my self.
Flop comes jd 9d 4 i check btn raises. I push all in. He calls saying i have flush draw. Diamond comes on river.
Old bloke next to me criticises the way i play.

Later in the session i have 4 5 spades.
Flop comes 3 6 rag. No spades. Bit of action and then a reraise all in. I lift my cards and fold. Bloke next to me says how do you fold. You have up and down you are so much better off than your first hand.
I tried to explain what i had first hand but he was sure not to listen and criticise more. I just laughed.
(Sorry about brief description of play)

So the absurd part was you attempting to teach a terrible player to not be terrible?

Calling 3bb with T8ss out of position when stacks are 40bb effective is also dubious IMO.

40bb max buy in is absurd.

This comment is first time i've laughed in a long time on this thread

That thread just proves that poker is alive and well ( at least low stakes lol )

Cowboys in Calgary? Man the games are probably amazing right now during Stampede

We have very different ideas of what strange is.
