The OMCs can’t fathom playing in a card game where they aren’t being dealt 20 hands per hour

Grunching, and my guess is something similar has come up, but here's my tale in case it hasn't. Cash game $1/$2 - I've been at the table all of 20 minutes so I have no clue how to read the players. I get Ad10d and there's one limp to me in the hijack. I make it $20 and only the limper calls.

Flop comes 10c-5-2c. He bets $25, I opt to just call. Turn is another 10. He bet $45, I raise to $110 and he jams. I figure if I'm against 2-2 or 5-5 here then I'm okay with going broke, plus I've got ace outs. The river is a blank and he rolls over 10-5 offsuit for the boat. I look at him perplexed and say "10-5?" He replies "of course - I bet you didn't know that you can't make a straight without having either a 10 or a 5 in your hand, and this way I have both covered." I reloaded and finished up about $80, not enough of which came back to me from him.

I have definitely heard some version of "all straights must have a T or 5 therefore T5 is a playable hand" before, but it does seem like it has been a while.

its up there with "i figured your raise meant you had big cards, so my 63o was live"

When you act like a clown you deserve to get trolled.

Lol, this certainly is absurd thinking! In what live game did you hear someone spouting such nonsense?

Sick comeback

Your T5 has to be off-suit so you can make half the flushes as well.

Limit game. BB didn't act preflop. Premature flop. Floor comes over and rules to finish preflop action.

BB raises, all limped call. Floor tells dealer to shuffle the flop back in. BB objects. BB demands the flop stay and now that preflop action finished, he wants to bet the flop. Says he wouldn't have raised preflop if he knew flop was going to change...

This isn’t as absurd as the guy is dumb/foolish for not knowing the rules.

There was just a thread about another hand like this where the dealer thought the early cards would stay.

The floor ****ed up by not telling the players the flop was getting shuffled back in before the preflop action was completed

Hand I saw yesterday at 2/5

Folds to the blinds. They decide to play. Sb raises to 20. BB reraises to 75. Sb shoves for around 150 BB's (around $750 effective). BB calls. Cards run out. SB has 77. BB has K10o and hits a 10 and scoops the pot.

The whole table loses there **** and say how the BB is a donkey and got lucky

Old guy next to me : can you believe that? The BB is such a bad player

Me: SB going all in with 77's probably wasn't the smartest move either

Old guy: No! He played it perfectly! That's how you play poker the right way. I would have done the same thing!

Me: Ok good to know

"Wow...if you wont even put in 5 dollars and limp with A8o, you may as well go back to 1/2...you don't belong at 2/5c".

At a 1/2 cash game, heads up PFR calls a turn check/raise and river bet, gets shown flopped trips and says about his river call:

"I've won 9 tournaments, that's a good call."

lol donkaments

I think you mean "double-suited."

Also the 10 is one of the top five cards in the entire deck!

This dude was a gold mine. I wish I wrote them down

He wouldn't shut the **** up about how Q/9/7/6/5 were "hot" because they "keep coming out", "I bet the next card is a [insert one of those cards]." No ****ing **** they keep coming out, you named like 40% of the ****ing deck.

He refused to raise more than $6 preflop. Someone questioned him about it when he got to showdown with AK and only raised to $6 and his only response was "I only raise to $6, you have seen that I don't raise more", meanwhile he can't understand why he gets 7 callers

He got super pissy multiple times because people weren't "playing the right way", like when another guy announced he was raising blind pre or when someone raised a bet on the river with a very good hand (and he wasn't even in the hand).

Awesome quote, it should be copyrighted.

Last night playing 1-3 nl holdem

2 young aggressive players, not looking like they know what they are doing. But both have big stacks.

Player a raised to 25 preflop.

Player b calls.

Flop is Ad Qd Jh

Player A bets 25, player B snap calls

Turn Kh

Check, check

River: 10 of clubs.

The board is now the immortal nut straight.

Player A goes all in

Player B is thinking for about 5 minutes. He’s about to muck his cards. He asks the dealer “sir.. can I ask you a question? Is there a better straight on board than the ace high straight?” The dealer just freezes up with a crazy look on his face.

Player B gets ready to muck.. the player to his left says “you have to call”.

Player A is a little upset and protests but then backs down. He’s a drinking joint smoking kind of guy.

The whole table asks why he was going to fold.

Player B says he thought that a spade high straight beats a diamond high straight and he didn’t have the ace of spades. He is then promptly informed by the table how holdem works.

Another guy on the table agrees and says he has played in some casinos where that is the rule. A spade high straight beats a diamond high straight.

Are you sure you didn’t dream this?

yeah, i've never sat at any low stakes table that would sit there while a guy tanked for 5 minutes, let alone with the nuts on the board on an obvious chop. eventually someone would say something about the nuts being on the board or call clock

I swear upon never winning another hand of poker, this happened last night.

Player to the left deserves a pretty healthy KITN

2/5. Villain is a Station and he has been doing what stations do, but tonight he seems to always have 2nd best at showdown. He has topped off a few times but gets felted in what was somewhat of a cooler and re-buys for $500.

About 2 hands in it is folded to me in MP with AA. I make it $15, one caller to Station on the button who makes it $65. I make it $225, other player folds and Station doesn't think long and slides all of his new chips across the line. I snap call and immediately table my hand. Station turns over KK and asks the dealer to hold on.

We have played together quite a bit and are friendly with each other. He then asks me if I would run it more than once. I said whatever you want to do is fine with me. He then asks what about 3 times. I snap accept and he bricks out all three boards. Being the nice guy that he is, he then thanked me for letting him run it 3 times. No problem sir, anything for you!
