Well I mean if the guy is willing to show someone his hand, I don't think he cares about equity

True

Yes talking about and during a multiway hand is one of mine also.

But somehow your action probably wasn't. What you were intending to discuss.

Not to beat the dead horse but in the first hand you made what your standard small stakes donkament player would consider a very loose call on the flop. (Personally, I think there's plusses and minuses to your call, but a reg would think you were nuts. Rest of the hand was played fine.) You can't then assume she would think you were playing tight later when you were very short.

+1 to this. They always say "I knew you had that" after the fact. Sometimes it's ludicrous because if they really did know that, they would've folded because it cost them a lot of money when they called.

Saw a hand that I think probably qualifies for this thread. Maniac leads out in MP for 21 in a 1-3 game. 4 callers including an old indian man. OIM had $23 in front of him at the start of the hand. Flop comes out, something like Jxx. Maniac leads out for 50 and gets one caller, OIM folds with $2 behind.

Similar to ^ last week I saw a hand with an older lady who bought in for $100 into a 2/4 game (the minimum), first hand she calls a $15 open, calls 2 streets and gives up on the river with about $12 behind.

I just felt bad for her.

This thread has certainly run it's course....

the absurd thinking that the guy was gonna call, when he was %100 sure he was beat and having like 4 outs.

Once an old lady was facing an all in and said I know you have aces but I call and flipped over deuces. She was right, dude did have aces. When asked why she called she replied "well, pocket twos are the same as pocket kings in that spot and I'm never folding kings pre".

I was once playing against somebody who folded the nuts on the flop in hold-em because she didn't have enough money in front of her to call the all-in amount. She thought she had to match it. lol

^ yea I've seen similar, 3 players (mother, daughter and son) buy in for 20 BBs each and fumbling around trying to give each other chips so one of them can make a call

In the tournaments at my local is normal for people to limp with 5bbs and fold to a raise

Yesterday Afternoon @ Bellagio 1/3:

Me, dealt KK in the BB, MP raises to 15, button raises to 40. SB calls, I call, MP & Button Calls. Flop comes out 3h3s6c. SB checks, I bet 50. MP raises to $100 (has $150 behind), Button folds, SB folds, I reraise all in for my last $220.

Mid position guy tanks and gives the spiel "I know you have Aces or Kings but this is the best possible hand to crack you with. I know it's coming.... I just know it's coming. Oh well, here goes nothing." He calls, I immediately flip. Board runs out 9h 5h.

Dealer asks to show, he literally waits 10 seconds then goes "Sorry for your bad luck" and turns over 2 black 5s.

I've never wanted to murder a man in cold blood more in my life. "The best possible hand to crack you with." ....then slowrolls the river. These MF'ers....

You didn't thank him for trying to give you his money? That IS absurd.




*edit* Seriously, though, the slowroll most likely wasn't intended to be a jab at you. He called knowing he would be able to just muck his cards if he didn't suck out on you. Once he realized he won, he was probably mentally reconciling in his mind about the fact that he has to now show everyone what he had done. Definitely sucks and IS a slowroll for sure, but unless you think he was being malicious about it, it's just a donkey in situation he wasn't expecting to be in. Be thankful there are people like this at your table.

Very true!

Donkament:

UTG raises (we are in 4th level and he has re-bought 3x already -- starting stack is about 30x bb at this point) to 10x BB.. he gets one caller as I am looking down at pocket aces. I go all in. the button shoves all in, UTG shoves all in, and the 3rd guy shoves all in (thankfully I had them all covered). I'm not so keen about a 4 way flop with the aces until UTG and the Button proudly flip over each flip over pocket fours (and congratulated each other on their calls before they saw my pocket aces)... the 3rd guy flips over... K 10 suited. thankfully the Aces held up... the guy with K 10 explains he "had to call because of the possibility of a royal flush".

Uhm okay.

To make it even worse logic: the room where the donkament was held excludes tournament hands from the royal flush jackpot promotions.

That may have been correct for ICM reasons if it was a money bubble or payjump thing, but based on the context im assuming it wasnt

I did it in a satellite with 26 spots guarnteed as a largish stack when 3 players got it all in with 29 left.

Here's one I hear all the time.

After a bet and a fold, someone says, "Good bet."

How could you possibly know if it was a good bet or not, without knowing what the bettor's cards were, and what his/her goals with the bet were?

If it was a value bet and the pot got folded to the bettor, the bet failed. Still, they will say, "good bet." smh

They're just saying "I folded what I think might have been good". I don't see the big deal. It's not actually meant to compliment their outstanding play.

Actually, I think it's often said by someone who holds a draw to the nuts but who has just been priced out. And, yes, that's a very good bet.

The most ridiculous comment I just heard.....
There was a board of 5d kc and 8d

A guy with ac 7d ends up winning when the ace hits the river. When asked why he called the flop....he states "I had the straight flush blocker"

Ahhh, I don't know. I always think people who say it are just displaying a really simplistic view of the game, partly because whenever they bet and people fold, they are happy, but maybe I'm wrong.

Any bet that wins me the pot is a good bet......
