So there's a friend who participated in a MTT tournament. Next day convo goes like:
Me: So how was tournament?
Him: Got knocked out pretty fast, like after 15 mins
Me: How?
Him: I moved all in pre-flop with 2's
Me: How big was your chip stack?
Him: 18k
Me: *sets a poker face* Oh.
Standard questions like others mentioned "How was poker", "How much you got" pisses of as well. But what annoys me the most is home games with my friends. Anything that you read on any poker book, article etc. doesn't count there: for example I hold A
J
heads up against my friend. Board goes K
7 J
I check, friend bets, I call. Turn's rag, I check, my friend bets again, I call. Rag on the river as well, and a huge bet by my friend, I fold. He shows 87o. And no, he didn't try to bluff me out, he plays every hand like that and you never know, you play against a set or against 9 high.
