Warning! Quoting explicit language used from experience.

This actually happened a while ago and i found my old notebook where i used to right my important hands down for review - thought i would share.
Anyone else ever had an experience like this?

Was playing some $1/$2 at the Hollywood casino in Charlestown WV sitting at a full table of 9 players and about 5 hours into the session this happens.

Tightest person at the table (literally playing about 10% of his range the entire game) - opens the pot UTG +1 for $11 - mp player calls - i look down at :jd4::js4: in the CO and i decide to just flat as well, the bottom of this guys range would be some AQ suited but more likely AK at the least from what i have seen him showdown. Anyhow...blinds fold, i am in position we go 3 ways to the flop which comes

:9h4::3c4::5d4:

Utg leads for $20 into a pot of about $35, mp folds and i call

Turn comes :jc4: bingo!

I slam the turn and our aggressor leads again for $60 - hoping to stack him off and feeling like i am right about him holding a hand like AA or KK - i flat a second time and go to the river...

:3d4: nothing to be affraid of for me unless by some miracle he has 33 lol

A 3rd time he leads into me...this time for $150, i take a short time to take the moment in and act like i am thinking...then announced "i raise, im all in" - have him covered putting him in for around an additional $110 and almost before i get the words out of my mouth he stands up says "i call!" and flips over :ad4::ah4:

I table my jacks and he just loses his mind, goes absolutely off the hinges. Starts off by staring at me with a befuddled look and says "you...you ignorant f*ck...are you f*cking kidding me right now?"

I sort smiled and chuckled and brushed it off while he continued "oh yeah, its real f*cking funny aint it guy? F*cking hilarious to everyone.....and you!" - he said as he pointed at the dealer and lashed out to him - "you incompetent f*ck. I have him dead to rights and you just completely f*ck me. Why dont you get up and f*ck off if thats the kind of sh*t we are going to see from you."

Taking this all in, i actually tried to chill the guy out along with some other guy at our table - telling him about how the game can be brutal, about how cards are unbiased, it happens sometimes, nature of the beast...its happened to me too, etc. - you get the point.

Does no good at all - he even goes as far as to tell me i "f*cked him out of a huge win" and that i "owe" him part of the pot back for getting lucky and how "moronic mother f'ers like me don't belong at card tables" - i wrote down a few of those phrases because the were too funny but i dont remember everything - he was just ranting and swearing about as much as possible before security came in and helped him find his vehicle :)

Funny enough, the whole time i had played with him, never saw him have one drop of alcohol or fire any additional bullets.

Ive had some guys upset when i bested there hands - or got them to call me with worse - but never anything quite that angry. Pretty wild.

Just wondering if you guys have ever had someone lose their minds on you for whatever the reason may be at a live game?

Thanks for reading.

He's just a bad player, he can't get away with his big hands, here it was a obvious spoty where you're holding JJ, 99 or even 55, but it's pretty normal, I faced the same situation when a guy was mad at me because my QQ won vs his AA, and later started calling everything and every spot I'm involved in.

I've been there, one player becomes irritated so they attempt to bust you every chance they get so they end up jiat dumping more money to you when you have it

You say you were 5 hours in the session ? And this guy also ? Strange behavior and I have never experienced something like this live. I just don't understand how he did survive for so long.

I have had experiences with players that come to the table looking like they invented the game and being pro's for years and then get busted within 10 hands. Most of the time they leave quietly but sometimes they blame the dealer.

Yeah, he was at the table when i sat down. Easily one of the nittiest guys ive ever played with and surely the tightest player at the table - when he bet, he had it - if he raised you, you were crushed...he kept showing down the winning hands when guys would give him action. When i sat down to the game he probably had around $200 in front of him or so...an average stack, i figured he hadnt been there long but truthfully i have no idea how long he was there before me. He racked up around $350-$360 when i busted him.

Ive had players tilt on me and players kinda dog me and my hand a little bit - one time i was in the BB with :ah4::jh4: and it limp folds around to the small blind who has been fairly tight - sort of playing and acting like he was a pro - I end up 3betting his raise as i have a tight image as well - it folds back to him, he calls, i spike a Jack on the flop - i bet, he calls - turn an ace - i fire 2nd and 3rd street and he calls on the river to me showing down AJ he turns over AQ offsuit and lets out a smug kind of chuckle and says "unf*ckin real...nice hand dude"

You could tell he was upset about it because he had me in such bad shape preflop, but he didnt go balistic on me like the guy with the Aces. Ive seen people blow up like that in the casino before but never at me and hardly ever at my table. This was a first and i meant to share it a long time ago.

The thing about nitty players is they expect everyone at the table to respect the hell out of them when they do enter a hand. Prolly never crossed the guys mind that you knew what you were doing. Of course if everyone folds pre he is gonna be pissed also.

I couldnt agree more, i saw him table kings once after a raise when it folded around to him and you could tell he was a little cringy because he didnt get action.

For me - one of the other tightest guys at the table - everything i did in the hand and my jam on the river screams a better hand...he pretty much beats nothing at that point aside from a bluff or overplayed weak hand - KJ, QJ, AJ, KK or QQ...when he snap called me i was more expecting of 55 to show up but he tabled the aces like a boss lol then he went all to pieces. Interesting experience for sure - one i will never forget

I had a guy blow up on me here because I caused him to bust out of a cardschat freeroll on America's Cardroom. I had A9 in EP and he had AQ from LP. I raised more than half my stack accidentally (originally planned to shove). He 3bet me all in so I called. Hit my 9 on the flop, causing him to bust out in the next hand or two.

I logged on the next day to see that he pm'd me calling me trash, called me out on the ACR freeroll thread (said I was a donk) and then dug up an old thread I started just to say he "wasn't surprised I lost [that particular game mentioned in the thread] because of how I played". I was like wooaaah chill, it's just a freeroll :laugh:

This is Poker. Had previously won the Cardchat Give Away, then directly the 109 $ 30K guaranteed. Also got a Monster Bad Beat. With JJ against 89 ... Flop 6 7 10. Half Stack lost by hand. After that 2 hours of cards death, watched the other player, as they get a hand every 10 minutes ... well, and in the end with just under 8 big blinds All in ... small against big blind. With 55 against 77 raus. All in vain order to go to sleep with bad mood after almost 6 hours of poker. I do not believe in online poker any more, they trick around where they can !!!:mad:

That’s poker.
Likely not the first time that guy has blown up.
Maybe the guy should loosen up and play wider range
It’s funner and less maddening

He must have expected to win and then felt like a chump when he saw your hand.

He just wasn't happy about losing the hand.

You should gladly take those chips because if he won the hand he would have taken yours!

Good luck !

He sounds like Phil Hellmuth loosing lol. I think you did the best you could trying to cool him down, if you got to provocative that could ended badly. I've had the same kind of trouble but the guy was drunk, so i couldn't care less didn't even look at him while he was trash talk mode.

Middle aged white guy, appeared to be between 40 - 50, very quiet, wore a VT hat, hair either very very short or he was bald. Always had chips in his hands when he was involved in a pot. Never did talk much, i always found the older crowd to talk way more - this guy sort of played like a younger new generation player.

IDK seems to happen every so often sometimes name calling is pretty tame compared to what else can happen.

Was in a cash game at the Borgato in A/C a few years ago, table was relatively quiet with some banter back and forth every now and then. I thought everyone was pretty friendly (for a bunch of guys that want my chips, anyway).

Then I noticed this relatively Muscular guy who had been petty quiet since I got there, go off on the guy next to him. I completely missed what the cause was, but next thing I knew I and a handful of players grabbed our chips and backed off the table as fists started flying. I knew what the issue was at the time just forgot. I do remember someone who had been at the table a few hours (I was only in about 45 min at that point) state, I saw that coming! That guy was like a ticking time bomb. Security was there within a minute and he was escorted out bitching nonsensical b.s.

You can never predict someone's reaction whether or not you are in the right.

Never seen fists fly...i dont see a reason to be getting into a fist fight over poker but as Doyle Brunson said in the original super system - if you take a man for all he's worth at the poker table he'll quickly show you who he really is - he came from an era where those guys werent even close to his level, imagine knowing your fish so well, watching him lose his mind dumping all his money to you...i can see where feeling robbed would make a mans emotions run wild - just some of us handle it better than others

I use to play at Derby Lane Poker Room a lot back in the day and this hefty kid sat next to me and he played really tight and I played positional and kind of lossened my range against him adding suited connectors suited Kx and such and set minded against him in position. One hand he played AQ suited flop comes AQ9 I have 99 this is a $10/$20 Limit game so we are go to $10 on preflop and flop and $20 on turn and river its just me and him because every one else gets out of our way because this guy look like an animal when he is betting LOL. Turn card is 3 and river is 2 so we turn cards over and he looks over at me and starts what the F are you playing you f ing moron this and that and I said don't you know that 9's full is most common full house and he just exploded LOL he said you didn't even hit a full house you a hole you only had a set of 9's and I said I know but still the most common full house is 9's full of anything and the dealer said he's right the most common fullhouse is 9's full of what ever and this guy just start screaming cuss words at the top of his lungs and throwing his drink across the poker room he had to be removed from the poker room. It was funny I just sat back watching this guy making a fool of himself and egging him on a little with the 9's full thing LOL.

That is awesome. I love watching people lose their minds. It seems to happen A LOT at Hollywood Casino locations and I don't know why , Happens all the time at my Local Hollywood Casino , Went to Columbus and Boom there was a guy putting on rant for an hour straight , so long that the Casino Manager came to the room and took him out to dinner because he was apparently a high roller and was getting pissed off at the 5/10 Table because he'd limp in then get busted out. Dealers said he put about 30k on the table in 2 hours

Not to generalize but I've really only seen older guys go off like that in my local room; like the over age 45 bunch.I mean we've all been bingoed by someone catching that set on turn or river or catching their gut shot but a good player knows to say nice hand and look inward to see what they could have done differently in the hand if anything. Only seen two get escorted out so far.

He is for sure a losing player with this mentality and i don't think that he will stop playing pretty soon.
