Why don't I tell people I play poker? Because people like Tardtaniums also play poker.

Tardtaniums, you should have shared the wealth with the people who have to endure your presence.

Titaniums = new bg1?

Much, much worse.

Some people were amused by bg1.

Literally everyone hates Tardtaniums.

dude, that musta been so ****in tilting lol.

My mom called me to see how things were going:

Me: Good, I won 12,000 last week playing a poker tournament online.

Mom: Wow! That's amazing. I hoped you put it all to good use.

Me: I paid off some debt and left the rest online.

Mom: aren't you afraid of losing it all?

Me: No, I have been playing poker seriously for 3 years, and am a consistent winner. It has accounted for over 25% of my income.

Mom: (long pause) Well don't you think you've just been getting lucky?

"Poker is just something you're born good at. Books won't help."

They just don't think people can get better.

Hmmmmm

FYP.

Outside of the people I play poker one I dont like to tell anyone. They dont understand anything and it makes me feel dumber when I try to explain strategy to them

Always listen to your mummy

My FAVORITE:

"How'd you do in your big tournament this weekend?"

"I did pretty well, didn't win, but I got my AA all in preflop against QQ to get beat, was pretty close to the bubble."

"You gotta play it safe to win those big tournaments, man. AA is just a pair, you shouldn't risk everything on one pair."

"Right. I gotta remember that."

you earn ~2.5m a year? sick brag.....

holy crap this is hilarious......i get this all the time from random people. on top of that i get some people trying to explain how government and all these online casinos are together and they are makin money from all of us and its all rigged. i m like stfu

Replace this with "I went all-in over a button raiser with AJ and ran into AA" and "Dude, AJ is not a good hand to put your tournament life on the line with!" facepalm.gif

Bro you got it in on an 80-20 and you call yourself a professional?

I always like reading over this thread every now and again, despite 99% of it being micro losing players its enjoyable nonetheless

Im not a major winner, nor do I play for a living, but my friends know I'm very interested in it and some of the curveballs they throw at you when trying to talk poker is pretty entertaining

I made day 2 of a tournament, mentioned it to a friend and he asked "so whats the big hand?"

"wut?"

They also grind some cash every now and again, dont understand why you cant take money off the table straight away when you win etc. The turn is the 'second hand' and the river 'the third hand'. But before you ask, the flop isnt the first hand, thats still a flop

"Its frustrating always getting hands like K3, flopping 2 pair and having to fold cause other people are always betting"

"lolwut?"

Plus all the usual degen stuff, "you've got the bug now!" or "the heaters over!" whenever you have a loss

.

wow, this was made before BF, smart mom

It's funnier when you include the next post as well

Lold irl :O, was at work ppl started looking at me :O

loled at the pocket 2's to aces part classic donkey style thinking.

can i give you $50 to make me money wth?

I remember a convo with my dad and his nephew which is like only 10 years younger than him. My Dads nephew deposited 50$ on pokerstars, and proceeded to play NL 50, he went up to like 75$ then he entered a hand, with pocket 3's which he says "i had 33" he flops quads, and gets his money all in on flop, other dude vs him hits runner runner straight flush, and he;s convinced that online poker is rigged :O.

So after this convo with them, this convo happens right after.

Dad: withdraw all your money now,

Me: yeah ok( was 12 tabling atm)

Dad: Im serious my nephew lost 50$ playing, and you will lose your money

Me: dad online poker isn;t rigged, your nephew played like for 1 hour and lost 1$, how is online poker rigged.

dad: he lost 4 of a kind on flop,

Me: yeah those things happen..like once in a blue moon but they still do.

Dad: okay dont ask me for money when you lose all of it on poker,

Me: ahahah we'll see.


gotta love the way old ppl that have no clue about poker think.
