Sometimes when someone almost calls one of my Bluffs i will make up a hand and tell them i had it. Dont want them thinking im the kinda player to steal pots of them.

And 95% of the time they'll know you're lying, and make the correct assumption that you were trying to steal the pot.

But they'd make the same assumption even if you told the truth about your hand, so it's no biggie I guess :p

Without lies poker wouldn't be any fun. I am trying to imagine a poker game where everyone is honest and it is a dark, lonely place.

Imagine Phil Hellmuth telling the truth all the time :eek:

Actually, it might not be that different. Which would mean he really believed all the stuff he says. Which would be really scary :D

If you're active in the hand though, you should be allowed to prattle on all you like - as long as you don't say what your hand really is.

if you were allowed to say anything but the truth then a player will know right away that if you say you have the nut flush then they must assume that you do not have it and then make their play from there....I think that it is a stupid rule and the only rule they should have is that players that are not in the hand may not discuss out loud what they folded or what they think somebody might have

hmmmmmmmm

Even if they switch, you can get the truth by asking, for example "Will the other doorkeeper say this is the correct door (of two)?" You know the answer will be a lie, so the opposite is the truth; it doesn't matter which one is lying just so long as exactly one is. Free logic tidbit from the pig. :icon_porc

Yeah I know that's why the movie pisses me off, because she does that and she STILL gets the wrong door, because they were lying about one of them telling the truth and the other always lying. So in other words: Movie mistake to further the plot.

Sometimes they are very poor liars though.

Last night, there were 3 people in a pot.

The flop comes K 10 4.

Person 1 goes all in, person 2 calls, person 3 calls.
The first guy had KQ, the second had K,10, and the third had Kx.

After the hand, someone at the table says "I'm glad I folded my K4"

watch poker after dark with a good "tells" book in hand and you'll be surprised how often you can spot a pro giving it all away!

maggot , if your a straight up liar ,not good dude ,I will never believe your posts again . poker lies are cool ,real life or forum lies are not. :) your daughters will get lied to by people like you who may or may not play poker.guaranteed. anyways you got away with it seven times but I got my eyes on you now. :D and your dog.

op , anyone has to be pretty silly to believe a set is good in Omaha , possible but not probable . :(

poker players do not lie ,I never lie and I have over 1000 posts to prove it. :)
