Don't want you to think he's a 1/2 slummer.

.

Yeah... but seriously, why did he table change?

Needs to confirm to us that he's not some low life 1/2 player

hahaha I'm a "low life" 1/2 player.. who told a temporarily seated 2/5 player last night who was fuming after I called his button raise from the big blind (he thought no one at 1/2 understood that he would make crazy raises from the button with marginal hands to steal blinds/calls) -- and won the pot with a pair of 3's -- that I only called "because my cards added up to 8 and you should always play cards that have an 8 or add up to an 8". I think he believed me...

Give this man an Oscar.

I raise KQ preflop, take blinds down and show (idk why)

Player says "Why the hell would you raise without a pair when you don't even know if you're going to hit anything on the flop?"

Was gonna make up some smart ass answer but I just said "I don't know man"

This thread has turned into nonsense

Dealt this last night at 1/2

Player A raises to $7, Player B proclaims very loudly, "RAISE..... $57!" Everybody folds, including the original raiser. Player B is befuddled and gives A a weird look then starts laughing at him. "How can you come out raising and then FOLD?!?! Why even raise?!?! Hahahaha"

I see Ebola has infected 2p2

I enjoy the hands you deal.

The worst part about my taking a job in this room is being unable to play there now This hand was from the same night.

A raises
B 3-bets
C flats
A folds

Flop is KQx. B and C get it in. B has KK, C has AA. Kings hold up.

After the hand, B is grilling C for not re-raising preflop. "That's what you get for slowplaying" and such. Player A was right next to me in the 1 seat and he asks "If C raises, would you have actually folded?". B doesn't hear him because he's still explaining to C in great detail why he played the hand so bad. So I lean over to A and quietly say "Of course not, but he's going to pretend like he would have". A asks again, "would you have folded?". B goes "Well.... I mean, probably. I only had Kings!" then goes back to giving C his lecture. A looks back at me and kind of laughs and rolls his eyes.

"Told ya".

The other week a fish said something I found hilarious.... He limps from UTG, 3 limpers to the CO who raises to 8bb, UTG calls, then UTG+1 l/rr to 24bb, CO calls, UTG calls

Board (76bb): Q 3 7 4 5
UTG chks, UTG+1 bets 30bb, CO goes all-in, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls

UTG has 63
UTG+1 had AA
CO had QQ

AA and QQ are both like, "How the hell could you call that preflop..."

Fish says, "Hey, you don't know how good your hand is until you see the flop..."

I'm sure others have also heard this said at the table, but in similar circumstance I heard the player with two rags explain afterwards: "The betting was strong so I knew everyone else had high cards and I figured only small cards would come on the flop!"

I love watching OMC / tight players stack off with an overpair to an obvious two pair, set, or straight.

I love it when those players start raising bigger after getting beat by a small two pair, opening them up to feeling pot-committed when I overlimp-reraise.

When a calling station says something along the lines of "I was committed"... b*tch please, you're always committed...

On the flop an OMC bets, folds to me, I have a flush draw. I cant see his stack due to him having his arms folded around it, so I ask him if I could please see his chips, so I can see if there were any good implied odds possible.

He's pretty short stacked, so I fold. He snaps at me "why do you ask to see my chips when you're going to fold anyway?"

I haven't taken out the trash a while in this thread, so I just did it. Use the Report Post function to let us know if you see stuff that doesn't belong in the future.

Heard last night: Player flops the nut flush and checks all three streets heads-up. Opponent checks back flop and turn and throws in 25BB on the river. Nut flush calls.

His logic for not raising: "I don't like putting chips into the pot if I don't have to because the fewer chips I put in the pot the less I can lose."

wow

That is accurate.

Live players are very observant...


One incident...

Playing 1/3NL 200 max, I bought in for 200, and have a bunch of red-chips to top up with any time I drop under 200. This included technically going north by $1-$4 since I didn't take white chips off the table after paying blinds and topping up.

I've been at the table for about 1.5 hours, chatting with the 3 players on my side of the table (including the man on my right in seat 7) and literally haven't played a hand yet, not even seeing a flop since my BB was raised every time.

Seat 7 ends up losing an all-in pot against a player he covered, and was left with a handful of red and white chips (less than $50 total).

He doesn't seem too concerned and hands $200 in notes to the dealer to top-up. Dealer reminds seat 7 that there's a $200 max at the table, and that he'll have to place his remaining chips off the table. He shrugs and grabs the excess red chips and places them in his pocket.

As I see him reaching to place his white chips in his pocket I say to him that I also have excess white chips on the table, and that nobody really cares if you're a few dollars over the cap. Dealer doesn't say anything.

He responds with "Of course you can be over $200, you've won some hands".


Another couple of funny related ones:

I arrive at a new table and in my very first hand I have AA in the BB and raise over some limps (including SB), action is irrelevant, but I go to showdown and win with everyone noting that I had AA in my very first hand.

I proceed to fold every hand until my next BB where I have JJ, raise again, and again win at showdown.

I then fold all hands until my next BB, there's a bunch of limps to me in the BB and I check with garbage.

Flop came low and dry and a betting war ensues between MP and SB until they're both all-in.

SB ends up winning with KK and another player asked him why he didn't raise pre-flop, to which he replied:

'That guy (pointing at me) has always been raising my SB, I was sure he would do it again!'

(Oh, and MP also limped with lol-JJ)



At another table I've been playing for about 4-hours and so has the man on my right (seat 4). I haven't been playing many hands (2-4 per hour), but I've been pretty much constantly riffling my chips both during and between hands. Seat 4 is an older man but seems to have some experience playing live, and has been raising hands from 77+, AJ+.

Seat 4 limps KK after a bunch of limpers, and then turns to me and says 'I thought you were going to raise, playing with your chips like that.' I smiled and said I hadn't even looked at my cards yet.

That part was absurd in itself, but a couple of orbits later he limps with QQ and after winning a small pot at showdown in a limped pot turned to me again and said

'I really thought you were going to raise that time'.

Great one last night at Mohegan Sun both involving same donk on tilt. My 2/5 game broke i booked the win rather than moving when my buddy tells me his 1/2 game is awesome.

Donk is facing river bet on 10-8-3-3-2 board. Talking out loud "You've got nothing! I know you've got none of that board. I call!" Bettor turns over 66, donk mucks and screams "Ah! I KNEW you had nothing!!! You're so bad."

Soon after I cbet KQ on an A-8-7 flop he calls. Turn is 2 check check. River is A. He bets $45 into $60 pot I know he missed so I call with the nut non-pair. He stares at me, shows K9 I turn KQ that plays and he says, "You can't seriously be that terrible of a player calling with K-high can you? That's horrible!"

I love late night 1/2 sometimes.

Play a lot of head's up with a fish buddy of mine. He's super fishy and I'm pretty hyper aggro vs him and as a consequence we get involved in a lot of hands like this when he starts to get annoyed at my aggression:

Hero raises BTN with AdQd to 4BB. Villain calls.

Flop 9d2d9s. Villian checks. Hero bets 6 BB. Villain calls.
Turn Kc. Villain checks. Hero bets 13 BB. Villain calls.
River 7h. Villain checks. Hero checks. Villain shows 7c8h and proudly states as his reason for calling all the way:

"I knew you didn't have anything. You're so bad you'll play three deuce. My eight high could have been good; and I knew for sure if I paired up I'd be good."
