Cats and Poker

[manzanillo53]

Yesterday I was playing poker online, a 9 max tournament(my favorite game). Four players left, one position shy of cash and I was in third. The short stack went all in and as I was moving the curser over to fold, my cat walked across my keyboard with the cursor too close to the call button. lost 80% of my chips and ended up knocked out a few plays later. The cat is no longer with us, just kidding, it is an awesome cat. FOR NOW.

What bad luck friend. I also have 2 cats but I don't let them on my pc for things like that. But sometimes when I'm playing from my cell phone and I put it in my pocket for a second, more than once I inadvertently call a hand. But hey, it's all anecdotes.

Just another reason to not have a cat...... Nah just kidding. That hurts for sure.
There are so many things that can go wrong with virtual poker. Yesterday I was in a tournament with no antes. Pocket QQ come up and I am up against an aggressive guy, knowing he will bet post flop. I am slow playing, making it look like I am uncertain and my time runs out and auto folds. Didn't even go into my time bank because I had no money invested yet. Needless to say I went and changed that setting RIGHT AWAY.

I have a good cat, she doesn't interfere. My husband on the other hand... grrrr
Lost some good hands because of him!

My cat also sometimes comes into my arms on his own, but he has not yet walked on the table. I don't let the cat jump on the tables.

You are not playing alone, you have an assistant, it seems that this is forbidden by the rules

My computer is off to the side as I am hooked to a large screen TV, so I did not see the cat going for the computer. I have 3 cats and only one goes near the computer. It was a good laugh.

 

[manzanillo53]

Good strategy, bad execution, it happens to the best of us.

 

[manzanillo53]

Keep the cat, get ride of the husband hahahahaha.

This cat is new, walked into the house two weeks ago and went to sleep on the couch. She has a collar with a bell on it, so some ones owns it, not sure who.

 

[manzanillo53]

No, she is not registered on the poker site and beside she only gives bad advice. LOL

you don't slow play by running the clock down, you do it by flatting and letting him make his move.
you give him too much credit for paying attention

make sure to give him a list of chores when you are ready to play and he will avoid you like the plague

Hi.
Your cat has made a bad decision, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have potential. For starters, try to explain to him that he needs to be more patient and disciplined.
Good luck.

Hi Friend.

I love my cat, it would be impossible for me to get mad at her for something like that.

 

[johnsonmad]

My cat likes to clear things off tables and desks. But I can’t get mad at him.

I have a hamster. But he is not interested in poker. He prefers nuts and seeds.
