Guy at my table proclaimed that he witnessed quads over quads over quads. When I said that it was impossible, he assured me "that night it wasn't!"

Quads on board, one player has an Ace in his hand, one has a King, one has a Queen.

Hahaha.

He said it was something like KKKK>6666>2222.

Maybe I’m missing something relative to donk better and who said what.
*He would have had a much better chance at winning much more had he just called instead of spazzing out with an nearly unbeatable hand. It is fair to assume that if someone donk bets once they will continue with that line on the next street, you should at least consider giving yourself a chance to win money with quads.Instead, he purposely tried to sabotage all his hands value(much more than $250) to win a stupid ****ing promo, which he mostly likely would win anyway as so few cards kill his kicker(even though one that did came)

“The only reason why I played A2 out of position was because the last flop was A22”

Too many players say the same in my country.

not so much absurb thinking.. just bizzaro world..

1/2nl
playing last night and a guy that fit every visual omc characteristic possible was playing like a young gun. It was wild.. he was straddling, bluffing, 3bet bluffing.. it was just wild. On one of his straddles, 4 limpers to him and he made it $30.. ended up calling an all in on the turn for very little compared to pot size.. only to flip over K2o on a board that ran out 2, 2 on the turn/river. my internal voice squeeked out as I said "what the F". This was within the first orbit of the table opening.

Normally someone this old playing in the manner, I'd just assume he had deep pockets but I'm not entirely sure that was the factor behind his playing style.

I had the pleasure of the guy calling my cbet of $35 into a $45 pot (Jc,3s,5s) only to backdoor the club flush with KcTc. I asked him what his reason was for call the bet on the flop and he didn't respond.. just stacked my chips.

anyways, I played with this guy for about 3hrs and simply could not put him on a hand. He seemed to always have it one way or another. funny thing was there was another omc type at my table the rivered him twice for two pair in back to back hands.

It IS truly absurd that you would say this to him. Whatever you think your reasoning is "I genuinely wanted to know!" is BS. You just wanted to satiate your ego for losing a pot. We WANT players to be calling our flop bets with backdoor draws that hardly ever get there. Stop trying to make bad players feel bad when they win a pot here and there. They are literally trying to give you their money.

you can choose to believe me or not, but my tone and angle was not one of belittling. I continued to have general conversations with the guy, told him good hand and he replied with 'thanks'.

I'm not a spiteful player when things don't go my way/as they should. I was actually interested to hear his thoughts.. you know, like talking about a hand seeing how we're at a poker table, playing poker..

The other day, a middle aged fellow was expressing his interest in attending poker dealer school. Asking all the right questions about cost/location/time commitment etc.

Dealer asked him if he was interested in pursuing a career.

He says, "no, I want to go to become a better player."

"Heard" at a live Facebook poker thread:

OP posts some hand about what to do with a flush draw...

Usually when less than a full table if you flop a flush draw the third card that’s should give you the flush is less likely to come up to 8 people left I will look at the pay out and I would fold just to earn more money

Percentage wise if there is less than a full table there is an increased chance the flush will come due to the fact there are more cards in the deck than if it was a full table. Greater chance more clubs are in there.
So depending on who you ask, more players = less chance to draw or more players = more chance to draw...

I see variations of this all the time. The most common are the people who insist that running it multiple times changes the equity, because you are depleting outs each time you run it. Another form of this is blackjack, when players insist that third base can affect the odds by taking a dealers bust cards.

It is difficult to get people out of the concrete notion of thinking of a deck as being made of specific cards in a specific order, and getting them to understand that all unknown cards are effectively equivalent.

I made this mistake exactly one time and I won't make it again. I don't play blackjack but I was sweating a friend who was playing and the normal conversation comes up about taking the dealers bust card.

I chime in (even though I know I shouldn't) and say that the last player took a random ****ing card and what the dealer got was a random ****ing card.

To my surprise the player in question replied that it wasn't a random card it was the next card on top of the deck, they don't just pull one randomly out of the middle, ******* (high fives his buddy in celebration of his owning me in the exchange).

I had no reply and will not get involved in that conversation again.......

Playing 1/2 no-limit at Hard Rock in Hollywood, FL. Action player next to me open raises to 20. I fold. 5 callers. Flop comes AA6. He bets 50. 1 call. Turn comes K. He bets 100, call. River is a 10. He checks, caller puts in last 125. Action calls. All-in shows A4. Action shows me pocket kings and mucks. I said, "Why'd you do that?" Action says, "Because 3 kings never beats 3 aces." I replied, "oh, right."

The more ridiculous thing is to bet into 5 players with kings on AA6.
