I've seen this several times:
Step 1) Villain has a huge pocket pair and limps in early position to trap.
Step 2) It's folded around to the big blind, who checks.
Step 3) The flop gives the big blind a big hand.
Step 4) All the chips go in and the villain gets angry and yells at the big blind for playing such lousy cards.
Somewhat unrelated, but I remember reading someone post something like this in the CC hand analysis forum years ago:
"I don't have the hand history exactly but I had 7s/8s and I flopped two pair, a straight draw, and a flush draw. I checked to trap and hit hit a set on the turn. Then we got it all in and I went broke AGAIN! What am I supposed to do there?"
Then one of the CC regulars told him that flopping all of those draws was impossible with two pair.
I LOL'd.
Lol. We can't be too critical. These are not stupid people (Ok, Carl was pretty stupid) and to her this made perfect sense. For the most part these are wonderful folks that get along in life quite well, but throw them into the water and they do what comes natural to anyone who can't swim, they flail about helplessly because that's all they know. Every bad player has a reason for what they do but I'm beginning to realize that trying to tease out the logic behind that reasoning is a massive waste of time.
"I bet for information"
I like sitting beside a older person and they always raise up their cards so that you see them almost ever hand.
Okay. I have another one. This happened at a bar league tournament and you'll have to excuse me I'm still a little angry about it, being my bust out hand.
I raised from the button with 10-9 of diamonds and got called by the Blinds.
The flop came Q 9 3, ALL HEARTS.
Blinds check weak and I decide to take a firm stance shove to kill them off their draws. The Big Blind CALLS, his hand is K7 off suit, the 7 is a heart. He EFFING called with the 7h! :dontknow:
Later he confesses almost apologetically and definitely embarrassed, that he didn't know what his own cards where.
He thought he had the flush when he called... Well we were dead even in chips so this was for both our tournament lives. Unfortunately my stupid drunk dealer plays commentary for the table and after sitting on the deck for a stone cold minute waiting for the chips to get settled announces for everyone that "any heart and you're screwed..." Turns the . lmfao (well, not at the time -- Not really )
Anyways here is the punchline... His rather stocky girlfriend is the bad player in this situation and she has been standing behind him rubbing his shoulders and telling him what a good boy he is. She had played on another table but got wiped out the first time she landed a pocket pair. So she comes to his defense and says " uhm, yeah that's called a BLUFF don't you know?"
No, I don't know. You don't call bets for all your chips with a King High unless you think you're some kind of hero or plan on sucking out. That isn't a bluff when it happens either... Nope. Not what it's called. LOL :bootyshak
Does she really think you can CALL any bet and does she consider that to be a BLUFF so long as you're behind? *sigh* Whatever, totally not worth it.
I heard this last night and it was all I could do to keep from falling off my chair in laughter. This annoying older guy to my right has been yacking in my ear for hours. I had been friendly with him but he was really very unlikable.
A hand came down that he had limped into and I had folded. The flop came out something like and someone made a pot sized bet. He grunted a little, mucked his cards and made a comment about how he never hits his flops. Anyway, the bet was called and the turn was . "Sonovabitch" he whispers in my ear. "I folded , if that turn card was the instead of the I'd have a flush draw now."
I remeber I was playing a .11 hyper turbo on carbon and 3 players left I bluff half my stack guy raise all in (had me stacked) and I fold then the guy says what a donk and I go on to get to top 2 with the same guy and win LOL

I love out drawing the players who min bet three 2-3 streets with strong made hands. It allows me to chase pretty much anything, chase my gutshot, sure I'm getting great odds, chase my two pair why not I'm getting to see the river cheap plus I know they'll pay me off when I hit. call with an underpair, sometimes if theyre deep enough I can do even this knowing the'll give me their stack when I hit tripsOnline-wise, a lot of idiot plays make stupid plays and blame the other person for being stupid. E.g. a guy limps with KK. Min bets 3 times, then calls a shove on the river. The other guy rivers two pairs. He starts calling the other guy a lucky fish blah blah blah.
I've never confused suits (unless I have and never noticed ) but I have mistaken A4 for AA before now. Cost me most of my stack.This was at a live table. I once had 2 diamond and heart hole cards and I thought I hit a flush when I didn't. That made me feel pretty bad at the point. Everybody at the table just told me it happens but I really bet they thought I didn't know what I was doing .
