dacoopman 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Alright first off, I'm obviously new to the forum...so a slight introduction is probably in order. I've only been playing Hold'em for 2 years, started playing at the Turning Stone Casino in NY while I was stationed at Fort Drum. Started at 3-6 and moved up to No-Limit. And since I've played religiously...we play almost on a nightly basis here, but the reason for the post is that my Girlfriend's dad plays, but he never plays sober...and it's just so hard to predict and play against someone that has no thought behind any of his actions...he'll call an all in with 5 8 off...just because ther was a 9 on the flop....i got a straight draw he'll say. anyone else have any issues with playing against alcoholics? and how bad it feels to get sucked out on by one majorly bad call?

Moneyball16 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 The only issue I have is deciding what to do with the money they will give me. Dont bluff them and value bet them to death. It doesn't hurt that much to get sucked out by them knowing that you'll have a great chance of getting the money back later.I think your girlfriends dad may have a drinking problem but its better your taking his money then someone else lol. Seriously you and your girlfriend should consider getting him help or talking to him about it. Link to post Share on other sites
