i feel like this is the reason that most bad beats are Aces full of Kings or better but in the above situation if u think im pondering folding the nuts to possibly winning a bad beat your nuts. No one should ever play hoping for a bad beat jackpot it just messes with your game

lol

Im confused. thats why I asked. like I said I dont adjust play based on jackpots, But If I Keep hearing flamingo I could possibly change my mind.

Funniest post in the thread

Not quite on topic, but today I sat down on 1st hand nearly hit a bbj. Q full vs aces full, just needed a Q, lost a buyin the first hand.
That wouldve been incredible after mentioning it last night. Im not a bbj seeker, but the rest of the table wouldnt shut up about it all night long.

Wow, almost hit the BBJ, huh? All you needed was the Queen?

I almost banged Angelina Jolie back in the 90s. All I needed was her phone number and a bigger dick.

I'm almost the Queen of England.

I thought the weird thing was me talking about the bbj right b4 sleep and then almost hitting it the first hand of the day. I dont talk about bbj often.
Now that we wasted more posts= some weird/ funny stuff.
I hate it when people always want me to get them high. Our local room are full of bums who dont even play poker. Is it weird/funny for me to show up and have people immediately asking me to get them high? I come to the poker room to play poker, and there are bums just circling the room waiting to see a smoker take a break. It doesnt happen to me when I go to a restaurant with bums expecting some of my food. Why so many bums in the poker rooms.

True story. I was playing a tourney at FW and we went on dinner break. I was a little late returning, only to find that I had been moved to another table which had a new (to me) dealer.

So I'm hustling to get to my new table and as I get there, the dealer is dealing the cards but he pauses a bit cuz he sees me approaching, so that he doesn't have to muck my hand. One of the guys at my table says "You should give him a back rub for not mucking your hand."

I automatically reply without thinking "If they're pocket kings, forget a back rub, I'll give him a front rub."

I dunno why I said it....I've never before or since mentioned a "front-rub".

Anyway, then I look down at my cards and BOOM, KK.

I raise in early position and everyone folds to me, even the blinds. Now the table is talking. One guy asks if I got the kings, and I smile, starting to muck and another guy says no way that's kings, so I turn them over and show.

The table ERUPTS and I'm like oh ****.

After I folded my next hand, I popped up and gave him a stellar back rub, while all the guys were telling me to hit his front. OMFG I shouldn't have shown, but how could I not.

The dealer, luckily, did not insist on the front rub, though he did quietly tell me he didn't live too far from the casino. Um, no. Plus the kid was like half my age.

Heh...that's pretty funny

well, at least you just said "front rub" & not some other favor.....

BUMP it..

No new stories??

LMAO that backrub story is gold

Last week a guy was rude, he told me "move it" when I was in front of his seat. Then we saw each other later at another room and he kept being rude, I stared him down and he stopped. Today a car pulled in and the passenger couldnt even get out because they parked so close. We were smoking a bowl in the car next to it and told them to move.
The driver is that guy, and he immediately tries to start a fight in the parking lot, while still in his car. Im like wtf, do I reach for the pepper spray or the gun? I have some wild kid with me thats encouraging a fight and saying hell back me up. Given the stench of weed the last thing I need is cops so Instead I just walked back in but I heard him drop a club or bat as he got back out of his car. Im going to the casino hes at now- to play poker, if he starts ill tell security.

OK..............

I suppose it was "weird"?

People being douchebags could be considered a normal occurrence though.

I was playing in a bar poker game, which is always really sloppy play but can be fun. There are no cash prizes but you play for gift certificates, a seat to the local casino or the WSoP.
Two-seven suited hearts had come up and won twice in the game already. I was SB I look at my cards and I have 27h, limpers ahead of me. I figured I am half way in, the 27h have been hot all night I will call. Flop is a 2-Q-?. Checks around the table to this one player who bets crazy when he has anything, he makes a large bet and I put him on a queen. I debate folding, if I call I don't have much behind me so I would need to shove. I figure I am way behind but I say "F-it" and I go all in. Folds back to the original better and he calls. We flip our cards over, he does have the queen, he is all smiles. On the river I catch a seven. The table starts cheering "27 won again!" and laughing. The other two people who won with 27h high five me and shouting "TWO-SEVEN, TWO-SEVEN!" The table is laughing. The loser of the hand stands up and is upset. (he really hates to lose) "How could you play that? How could you play that?" One of the previous 27 winners had a little too much to drink was talking about what a great win it is. I start laughing at him, and the loser of the hand SCREAMS at me, "YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY???!!?? YOU THINK THIS IS F*$%-ing FUNNY???" Which made it funny.

Relax, it is bar poker, you didn't lose any money and everyone is smiling.

(okay, maybe only funny if you know these people)

The "most absurd poker thinking" thread is ------> that way.

I was once getting another beer at the bar when playing in one of these. I was BB and it limped to me so I made a standard raise, from the bar, without looking at my hand. One limper min-raised and everyone else folded...and I called blind. I come back to the table to see a flop of 10 10 9 and figured I better look at them now. Of course I had 9 10 and decided to lead half the pot. Original limp-raiser shoved over top with his under pair of 7s and I had an easy double up.

He was not happy with my "terrible" play.

If it was a money/serious game I would fold, I fold a lot of small blinds. You didn't find a problem that I called a large raise with two overs on the flop? This was as stated, bar poker.

In my local card room there's a guy who calls himself "King Man" because he plays and hand with a King, and if he hits a King he's going all the way and never folding.

King man once lent a guy in the card room £20. Apparently on another night be told him not to worry about paying him back.

Fast forward a month later and King Man is stuck, and wants his £20. Guy refuses to pay him for the above reason. King man is furious and fuming as he cant re enter the tournament they've been playing. He's pacing around the poker room, and the floor manager is watching him get increasingly angrier. He then sees King Man pick up a plate, storm over to where his debtor is sitting in the tournament, and managed to intercept him just before he cracks him over the head with the plate.

King Man is now barred from the casino for a year.

In the staff room at the card room, taking pride of place on the wall, is said plate, inscribed "In memory of King Man, xx/xx/2015".

Not sure if this one should go in the absurd thinking thread..

Last night, at local card room, usually one table, reg-filled. A new guy has been losing stacks all night.

New guy raised UTG. Nit in MP calls.

Flop TT5, check, check.

Turn K. UTG checks, nit bets 15, UTG says "save your money" and flips over TT. Everyone is confused. Dealer asks him, "what are you doing?". He says "I fold. I don't like tens".

Floor gets called over and gives him a one round penalty for folding the nuts. Guy picks up his chips and leaves.

What.

I don't even... I mean... what?

See, no wonder he doesn't like tens, they cost him a one round penalty and he lost the hand.
