He checks, I bet $20. He says "your aces are good" and folds pocket tens face up. Dude....you're extremely short-stacked, get a perfect flop for pocket tens and still fold. Just ****ing goofy. I showed him my A-K and thats when he gets up and leaves the room. The whole table was cracking up
I know this is just a lame hand history but it truly was one of the weirdest experiences I've had at a poker table
Not all that funny but it was to me at the time, this reminded me of it. An older guy sits at table, buys in for the minimum. This was in FL and at the time it was a $1/2 and there was a $200 max and $40 Min buy from what I remember. It's been awhile. I had only started playing at live poker rooms myself. Lots of home games and had been doing the online thing for a bit, and decided to try my luck at live poker, since the FL rooms were reasonable close now. This was during the poker boom.
The guy sat there for at least an hour and never played a hand. I think maybe it got limped to him once when he was in BB, but he folded on flop. Then he raises UTG and it was like the wave everyone throwing their cards in the middle.
The guy gets a disgusted look on his face, and throw his cards in angrily racks up and leaves. Everyone at table stated laughing.
