you've probably encountered a lot of people with poor hygiene at the poker table but do you know anyone who refuses to take a shower so opponents will want to leave the games early?
Haha [emoji23] nice thread, dealing with real issues... Its amazing to think that some poker players will use any and every angle, including hygiene as a tool...
I don't know of anyone who refuses to take a shower to gain an advantage. I however have encounter several people who have had a rather pungent odor!! Most of them went to the casino after a night shift of work and stayed into the day. Not pleasant for the other players at the table. Best thing to do is ask for a table change if available.
people have no respect for others.
bad body odor bothers everyone.
i had a guy once come fix my windows he stunk to high heaven
the wife told me not to say nothing but i looked at him and told him.
man you stink you could have put on pit stick before you go to someones house smelling so grose, so i took out our air freashener and sprayed it so we dodnt have to put up with the BO smell.
Fortunately i have never been in such situation but i play live in casino very rarely so maybe i just got lucky. I don't understand how that can be a strategy as most you can do is to make other players find another table or call manager to address it.
It has not happened to me !!! likewise if it would happen to me it would give me a lot of embarrassment other people, hopefully, never happen to me lol
I think that when playing live poker can someone use their nasty smell, to make for yourself a winning position. Someone is not affected, and the other can be very distracting and make do the wrong moves.
In cashgame why would you want anyone to leave early? I guess in mtts might make players a little tilty so maybe some benefit. But Amy shred of poker benefit would be countered with all the social interactions that get ****ed by your smell
I have never heard anything about such an insidious strategy. And I sincerely hope that I will not meet such an insidious opponent at the table.
Good luck.
If the opponent's strategy is to win all by Siting out due to bad smell, it would be quite a strategy. But it is complicated and delectable to play next to a person and it is in a putrefied state
hahaha thanks for the laugh it never occurred to me that someone would do that as a poker strategy, but now that you brought it up... i wouldn't be surprised.
good thing online poker isn't scratch and sniff lol
