yes but for one big bet it's an easy call. Especially if it's only 8 bucks.

Perhaps, but certainly not going to make a short list of stupid moves.

True, it's stupid but not that stupid.

Live hand I'm in. The board reads 88882. I'm HU with Ax and the villian and I are raising back and forth on the river (limit game). I finally flat call as I figure he also has an ace. Nope, he flips over T2 thinking his 2 somehow gives him the best six card hand.

WHAT? Everyone agrees? Was this a real casino? The hand is not dead, but the card is dead and is the first burn card. No questions about that. The poker table is not a democracy. The dealer needs to run his table.

ya sry thats what actaully happened.Long time ago. Real casino, pretty big poker room.But ya when the arguing started a kind of grabbed the 2 cards and palyed with em.. Dealer says give the king back and I did. Wrong one though.Not much of a story but ohwell lol.

Does he look really old in real life?

Yes, James Woods looks SUPER old irl, which is always hilarious juxtaposed against the barely 20 hotties he always has with him.Mark

One time I sort of "temporarily forgot" when quads were on the board that it is the best 5 card hand that wins - buddy and I are at a Live Casino. I have pocket 8s. We get head's up to the Flop and agree to check it down (yeah, I know COLLUSION!!!). He has AJ. Flop comes 668. Turn 6. River 6. I think: "Quads on the board. Fine. Auto chop. Whoops. Kicker plays." It wasn't even that I was thinking that my "Super Boat" was a winner.

I think I saw you play this quad 6s hand... was this at the NBC heads up championships? /SW

This one just happened to my wife last Saturday. We were waiting for my parents to come down from their room at Paris for dinner and were playing at Bally's 3/6 limit game. 5 players see the flop, my wife is SB. Flop is something like J92 with the J and 2 of clubs, my wife has Q10 clubs so is open ended and flush draw. She has 3 chips in her hand, reaches out and checks. Dealer says "Check". Next guy folds. Then the next. The next, and then the final guy. All 4 folded. She pulls the pot!Mine is when I was playing 2/5 NL in Windsor, Canada. I wasn't in the hand but there was a raise preflop to $20, and a call. 2 see flop. Flop is raggedy but Jack high. First guy bets $60. Second guy Raises to $150. First guy goes all in, 2nd guy instacalls.First guy says "you have AJ?"... 2nd guy says, "nope I have quad jacks". And flips up JJ. The whole table laughs until the turn... yep... another Jack. "See, I told you" says the guy. The other guy mucks his AA faceup.

I tihnk your wife missed out on a lot of value here. Still pretty funny that they all folded.

He obviously knew that Jacks were the hot card in this game. I'd be careful about sitting in any game he's in.

At fallsview 5/5 a while back.Stacks, UTG 600, Button 700UTG raises to 20, Button pops it to 60 and UTG flats. Board is 2-5-8, UTG checks, Button makes it 90, and UTG immediately makes it 250.Button tanks, tanks, keeps muttering, "I know he probably has a set", and "Theres no way my pair is good", finally after 5 mins he says "Alright if you can beat Aces, I guess I have to pay you off later in the hand anyways". He then shoves, and UTG snap calls...with KK.

Uh, this is the stupidest thing you've seen? Maybe he didn't believe the guy had aces?

I rarely play live.But I did see a player check a straight flush on the button on the river about a week ago, online

Read this one on 2+2 but cant seem to find it, So Ill just tell it as best I remember it. Im playing 1/2 NL at Bellagio, about an hour in a guy comes sits down who has obviously been in a real bad accident of some sort. His body is badly burned all over. Face completely disfigured. His hands are so scarred and disfigured that he has a real hard time even picking up the cards. Made it almost uncomfortable to sit at the table with him. But after an hour or two everyone is pretty used to him and just going about playing poker.Well the burn guy starts on an absolute amazing run of cards constantly getting his money in bad and sucking out in huge pots. He's playing absoluty terrible but just cannot miss, especially against one guy in particular. Burn guy has beat him out of 5-6 hundred all while having way the worst of it each time. This guy is obviously getting steamed but hadnt uttered a word. So the burn guy is sitting on about a G and steamed up guy has 3-4 hundo in front of him. Steaming guy raises from EP, disfigured burn guy repops him. Folds back around to steamy who goes all in. Burned guy insta calls w/ KJ suited and is way behind, again this time against steamy's AA.Dealer lays out 2 jacks on the flop and disfigured burn guy's trip jacks take down the pot. Well after the disfigured burn guy rakes yet another monster pot steamy absolutly blows his lid and screams "Jesus Christ you most be the luckiest ****ing person alive"If anyone can link it Im sure I didnt do the original story justice. Just too funny of a story IMO to not be included in this thread though.

Didn't you say it was in a casino in Alberta? If this was in Cash Casino in Calgary, I wouldn't be surprised.

[Steamed Rice 0]

So he put you on 23 or the another 22? lol. I agree. Winner.

LOL, I think he just said "I put him on nothing too" to try to save face. I think he realized what he did after the guy told him, but I can't be too sure. That guy was a complete idiot.

I played with a horribly disfigured burn victim at the Gold Coast during the '06 wsop. Quite possibly the same person.

This weekend, home game. $100 buyin, full ring table, cash game $.50-$1, horrible players.Super aggressive girl who plays free bar poker keeps maniac raising, and catching cards.She is in SB. UTG makes standard raise to $4, MP minraises to $7, 5 players see flop, which comes 8c9c10d.Donkey checks, BB bets $10, three calls, SB raises to $30. Two calls. Turn Ks. SB pushes for $50 or so. BB calls with J10, shorty MP calls with KK, SB shows 4c6c.River comes a rag of clubs to give girl the win with a flush. She said she check raised with the 'gutshot royal' draw.Yes ma'am, of course you did.

Any chance she would be interested in some strip poker?????

I laughed. And then felt bad about it. Then regained some perspective and saw the humor and decided WTF.

£30 ($60) Tournament in Blackpool, UK about 2 years ago, 1 guy on my table thought that "blinds" meant he had to play the entire hand withouth seeing his hole cards. Somehow this illusion lasted for about 30 minutes before someone pointed out how stupid he was. tapped the glass and angered the remaining 8 players at the poker table.

FYPPS: I hope that "someone" wasn't you.
