Actually it does if you right-click any seat but your own. It's how you choose where you're sitting in the UI.

Playing live tournament was in the big blind, action folded to the small blind, who turns and looks at me for about 30seconds while thinking what to do. Eventually he folds saying "I think from looking at you you've got a big hand, just a feeling I've got"
I smile and tell him I've yet to look at my hand. Whole table bursts out laughing.

Funniest thing I saw live was Carlo sleeping with a blanket in the 10/20 game at the Borgata when I walked in 4AM on an autumn Sunday morning. I played "Sunday Morning Coming Down" by Johnny Cash on my car CD player a week straight after seeing that.

On the net, I saw this guy from Oshkosh or somewhere trying to pick up a chick from LA on a 3/6 table on stars. I am not sure if there was actually a chick on the other side of that avatar, but the guy thought it was. Pathetic...

You utter gimp.

Right click on any pre occupied seat in tourney, Bingo, thats magic

Online:

saw a guy accidently type his cybersexing into the Pokerstars chat (favourite)
saw a guy who was down below 1bb come from 4th to finish 2nd in a SNG
saw a guy who was slow rolling get timed out of a hand (he said later, he had quads)

Live:

Guy claiming a straight JQKA2
Guy claiming a straight A2346 (blind spot for 5's)
Guy folding an A high straight on a rainbow board to a flashed "top pair" (the straight was on the board)

CLASSIC

Definitely one of the funniest poker related things I've seen.

Peaked with the first two posts, then should have been locked.

2 funny live quotes tonight at Casino de Montreal

1- "I called pf with T5 because there is a lot of T's and 5's on the board tonight"

2- "It's the seventh time I have a pair and I can't hit another pair!"

never gets old

imo

also this story isn't really funny and i wasn't even there, but i heard the uproar and to be there prob would have been amazing.

at local golf club or whatever in a stupid $10 buyin tourney that i fkn hate playing and will never go in again. last two left in t he tourney, they were all in JJ vs 99 and the dealer had dealt out the turn with no help to anyone and only river to come. Everyone was watching and quiet, and the dealer dealt out the river which was obv a 9. There's like a massive uproar and someone points out to the dealer that they hadn't burnt the card.

Following was a pretty massive fight, the person who rivered the 9 arguing that it didn't matter and person with JJ trying to get dealer to redeal the river and after a while its decided that the 9 will be the burn card. The person with 99 looked like they could cry.

Anyway dealer burns the 9 and deals the proper river .............. OBV the case 9. massive uproar

Hawaiian Gardens, a few nights ago.

So I'm at Luxor with a few hours to kill before my plane takes off (that's where my crap-fiend buddy scores the free rooms). In case you don't know, the Luxor poker room is a bit of a joke. It's a roped off area surrounded by slot machines with the highest stakes being $1/$2.

So the night before I was ****ing wasted. There were 3 of us at the $53 SNG table and we convinced 1 guy to join our $200 last-longer bet. I also kept asking people if they wanted to red/black for a banana ($1k).

So I get pozzed to lose the last longer, and head over to the $1/$2 table and start open shoving. I still don't get it, but people left and were angry at me. Some people's kids just don't like money. Maybe it was 92s > AK. Anyway that was a -$600 adventure.

Back to the day... apparently this kid was at the table the prior night and was dumbfounded because I was quiet, composed and extremely hungover... instead of loud, obnoxious and GAMBOOOLING every hand, he wasn't even sure it was me, but I confessed.

So this table's awesome. Bunch of nice folks, including this guy who was a Vietnam Vet who doesn't like flying because he was shot down just after takeoff in Nam, and his brother perished in a similar accident. Sad stuff, but he was a pleasure to have at the table.

About an hour into my session this kid comes by and sits down. He's a fat kid in his early 20's and his mission is to just make everyone think he's a badass. He's at a $1/$2 table with his glasses on check-raising every other hand and showing the bluff. He's not drunk, he's just WAYYY better than you at poker. I'm sure most have played with someone like that at one point or another.

So fat kid and Nam Vet get into a pot. Flop is something like 6s 9s 2c. Fat kid bets, Nam vet calls. Turn is the Ts. Fat kid bets, Nam dude minraises, Fat kid calls. River is the 3s. Fat kid leads, Nam Vet minraises, Fat kid re-raises... Nam Vet says "straight flush?? that's the only thing that beats me!" I must say that this was 100% not an angle-shoot and it should have been really really clear to anyone who witnessed the hand. He's just a tourist having fun at a $1/$2 table and has no problem giving away his hand... he tanks for like 10 more seconds and says "I guess if you've got the str flush, you win" and pushes. Fat kid tanks forever and finally calls, flipping over Ks 5X and Nam Vet shows As Js to scoop. Very kindly and jokingly he says "man, I thought you had the str flush, I was worried!" Angrily serious and straight-faced the fat kid replies, "then why didn't you fold!?! That's ****ing ******ed, why didn't you fold?!?!?!" I started just busting up because this poker genius was 100% serious about getting someone to fold AsJs on a 4 spade board at a $1/$2 table at the Luxor.

The OP's live story is good imo.

my bros story from some ****ty bar tourney - a guy limps and it folds to someone in late position who raises all in, the limper says "any ace is good heads up, i call"

edit - and they were pretty deep

Live Story:

I'm dealing a "home" game frequented mostly by drug dealers. Somewhat dangerous, they don't tip, but we raked 10-20/hand, so whatever it was worth it. They get a real kick out of slowrolling each other and put more effort into that than anything else. So Thug 1 Makes it 50 to go (2/5 blinds, standard raise) Thug 2 goes into the tank and shoves for like 900. Thug 1 goes into a very serious 5 minutes of tanking, then slides his chips into the pot and says I hope you have AK. Board runs out Qxxxx 4 spades. Thug 1 turns over AA after much deliberation, Thug 2 examines the board for like 30 seconds, shakes his head, then turns over AA with the A of spades and takes the pot. No one else even seemed to find this bit out of the ordinary at all, but I was laughing in the inside.

I dealt a similar hand. 862r. Two people get it all in. They turn over 66 and 22. Turn is a 2. River is a 6. Happens online a lot, but in real life it just seems so much more dramatic and everyone yelled so loud at the turn and the river was absurd. It stopped the game for like 5 mins.

wat

I like this image...

hawaiian gardens, i use to play there like every night at 300NL. such bad players. do you go there a lot?

this is pretty good.


i was bored at the racetrack and played some live limit poker with one of my friends. at the table to my right there was some newly graduated high school kid that just wouldnt stop talking. he thought he was some hot shot etc. he would buy in short at the limit game and when he busted he would rebuy. he probably lost 200 dollars at a 2-4 tabling buying in for 20 dollars at a time.

anyways there is no single story, but he would play every pot and if he had top pair(105 off on like a 10 64 board) he would call all bets down to the river and if somebody flopped a set or had him outkicked he would look at me and go, "all of these fish get there vs me it's ridiculous".

took a shot at a 5/10Euro game in a turkish cafe in germany, got teh AA, 3bet the big fish (he opened to 50, i 3b 175 OOP) tarpchecked to him on 33Tss, then donked 200 on the Js trn (had As), he snapshipped, i snap called. He tables QsJx, i table, river Qx, there's a solid minute of him celebrating and hi fiving with friends, because he busted the 'americano' (Australian ftw), then i inform him of teh multiple pairs, and he instaquits.

- not hilarious unless u were there i guess, but t was my biggest pot ever also (1870E, after 70E rake OMG)

Oceans 11, a lady who'd never shut up and always had to describe her thinking at every single street of every single hand hand was irritating the hell out of the table. I was to her left and dying. Finally a few of the people on the table begin to snark at her, and she decides to table change. Someone else is brought in to take her place. 3 hands later, the jackpot hits. The new person in her just-vacated seat won ~8k.

Same lady, 1 hour later- on another table and decided she didn't like it, so she put in for 4/8 limit instead. Gets her table change. About 15 minutes later the seat she had just left gets the bad beat jackpot. ~4k this time.

what's oceans 11?
