Was playing a 1/2 NL game at Greektown Casino in Detroit. This was about 4 years ago and it was pretty packed. It was a normal night and all of a sudden I hear this lunatic flipping out about his bad beat. Not just mad and talking about it, he was standing, pointing, shouting and throwing F-bombs left and right. The poker room manager comes over and tells him to calm down or he will have to leave. The guy starts yelling at the manager and he calls security. As the manager is telling him he must leave the guy pulls his wallet out and yells "Do you know who the f*** i am!?!?! Do you see this? This is a mother f*ing black american express card!!!! You don't know who you're F*ing with." ( he then takes the card and kind of slaps it into the managers face and from there the big (6'7" 300lb security guard) grabs the guy and slams him to the ground. Craziest thing I have seen in a poker room. The guy was dragged out and we never saw him again. Everyone applauded. I asked some guys at his table how big the pot was....it was barely a $100 pot. I wouldn't think someone with a credit card that can buy a maserati would be so mad about a $100 pot.....

Lol live poker. The slow play and discussion of "strat" tilt me so much.

I LOVE listening to 1-2 players discuss strat. Music to my ears. Its a constant reminder of how badly they misunderstand the game. Sometimes I even like to get involved and just say things that are completely wrong. It can be fun.

"You HAVE to call with 2 pair if someone puts you all-in on the turn on a Broadway board!"

Agree with the lol @ table chat. I've hand a guy call a raise pre and stack off with K5 on AA5. He turns to me and says "Well, you can't fold two pair". I nodded in acknowledgement while attempting to withhold myself from falling out of my seat laughing. It was tough.

Booked a little profit tonight. Accidentally slowrolled a guy. UTG, with about $80 opens to $11 at $1/$2. HJ flats with like 30 more behind, and I have AA OTB. I make it $35, UTG ships, HJ sticks the rest in. I then asked UTG for a count without thinking about it and then when the dealer said it was like 42 more or w/e I then called. Immediately noticed that I kinda rolled him, and apologized. He did not accept, did not win, and did not return. One other hand of note that just confused the crap out of me:UTG limps, he is new to the table, but I would later find out that he is limp calling nearly 100% of his range, but I did not know this yet when this hand occured. I iso to $14 OTB with 88 and table folds to him who flats and we see a 774r flop. He chk/calls $20. About $50 in the pot now and he spaz jams his last $102 on a 10 turn that does put two clubs out there. I think about it for awhile and then fold, and he refuses to show because "we're all better than him as it is." Pretty standard fold? One more thing that tilts the shit out of me about live poker is lets say CO looks at his cards immediately, and decides he doesn't like them and will fold when it's his turn. Instead before the action gets to him he gets up and leaves to go to the bathroom, so everyone knows his hand is dead. It seems no better than folding out of turn. Just my thoughts.

yeah. In my experience often times the player just doesn't give a shit and will fold out of turn in that situation. And what tilts the shit out of me is the dealer that doesn't say anything and I have to say something and look like a dick because the dealer is being a pussy. It is pretty much impossible to get any kind of penalty at the cardroom I play at. They will just give out 4905498549 warnings.Oh and regarding retarded table talk. 2 nights ago I played a tournament where I had like a 30 minute conversation with a guy who was convinced that he would rather be all in pre flop with Q 10 against A J and that he hits 100% of the time when he has the worst hand in a 60/40 situation. I was basically just making fun of him the whole time while he thought we were having a serious conversation. Ironically I end up busting when I had the better hand in a 60/40 aipf situation and the guy gets up and points at my face and starts laughing saying "I told you so!"

I hate live poker, just lost a ton of small pots tonight and couldnt get anything going at a pretty bad table. I played pretty bad as well. Made a bad calldown on a guy that always has me beat with my AJ vs his 89 on J89x8 board. Always next time!

Don't post here much.. but do have one story.My first time in a live casino playing $2/$4 limit holdem as I was just out there for a touristy trip. A guy sits down on my right and he proceeds to cap every street on the first pot, without ever looking at his cards. The other end of the table wasn't paying attention and was completely oblivious to that tiny fact that he never looked down. He proceeded to cap every street on every pot for 30 minutes straight. What made it absolutely hilarious was there were two guys at the other end of the table who started discussing strategy and one guy deliberated a $4 call at the river for about 30 seconds talking over hand possibilities... the guy won a few and lost a few pots over the course of his half hour at the table, I talked to him a little bit and he seemed like a nice guy and I won a few pots off of him; he kept raising it up on every street the entire time without ever looking at his hand. When he was about to leave I asked him why he never looked at his cards and was just curious about the play.. his response "the casino wants my money.. if i'm going to just gamble on pure luck, I'd much rather give it to other people than give it to them." (rake aside... i liked his philosophy)The guy ended up leaving down about $4 I think. It amazed me how few pots got to showdown with him playing like that; even at the micro $2/$4 limits.Edit: On another note... best strategy discussion I heard recently.. in a $1/$2 NL game I raised to $10 with KcKd from middle position, got 4 callers all immediately behind me. Flop was 8d,9c, 10d... I lead out $20, was raised by the guy behind me to $50, two back from me called, then the button moved in for about $140 total. I mucked and both guys called. The guy on my right asked to see (we both play there often and were friendly, but not friends) before I mucked and I showed him my cards. Once the hand played out (i would've won with running diamonds). He proceeds to tell me how bad a play that was to fold and that he could never fold in that position. (guy one back had a set of 9s and called, guy two back had Jd,5c and called (he was not very bright), and the button had JsQd for the made straight). What made it more funny was that half the table agreed with him that they couldn't fold an over pair... apparently I was the only one who realized that I was drawing to 2 outs or runners...
