never trust a poker player

[commoncents 0]

last night in a home game about 10 hands in, i was SB going up against the BB (50/100). Everyone folds to us, i limp blind, he just checks. i say "check blind" (Phill Helmuth style) the flop came 10 6 4 different suits, as he is looking at the board and i quickly check my hole cards (10, J off) very discrete.He looks at me like i'm a moron, checks his cards again and fires out a bet double the pot (400). i say "you know......what the hell, i'm all in" with about 1600 left. he gets heated, i mean pissed. he asked me if i looked at my cards, i say "no". he quickly calls and flips AQ off. I expose my J10 and just smile.now i know it wasnt the best move and i was really afraid once he called he would catch a A or Q but i took a nice pot and cant believe i pulled it off. he compained all night how i lied to him

you sir, are a douchebag. yes, he should not have trusted you, but you also shoulda) not have outright lied. there are things you can do at the poker table that are more or less lies, but outright lying like that is simple douchebaggery.B) not cared so much about a home game. unless this home game is held at the bellagio and there are bracelets on the line, it should not mean so much to you that you should be lying to your friends (or friends of friends) just to win a pot.Daniel

for the record he was a donkey who couldnt even count out his chips. he was not a friend. AND he actually busted my 2 pair in the 1st tourney by chasing a str8. i thought it was fair. i dont think it went down as an actuall lie, he asked if i looked and i kind of shruged like i was saying no. the card table is a rough place and he learned that lesson last night.as i recall Chan pulled some move on a rookie at this yrs WSOP.Kurt, dont worry. i would never try anything like that with friends or players who i respect and know how to play. i saw an edge and i took it.

What a great word.And yes his play was such.

totally gay play

You know what I retract my previous post, yes I am very fond of the word douchebaggery but I hate playing with donks sometimes.I used to get mad blah blah blah over it now. I'm actually kind of glad he punked that guy.If some random guy came to my HG, and tried to ask me if I looked at my cards, I would laugh in his face and tell him to insert one stack of 20 chips down his throat and proceed to masterbate profusely.(SW)

So you didn't check your hole cards until the flop came and you had completed half a bet.....hmmmmm, who's the lucky donkey in this situation?

a) not have outright lied. there are things you can do at the poker table that are more or less lies, but outright lying like that is simple douchebaggery. I don't agree. If someone asks another player a question like that they should EXPECT that the player will lie.Recent WSOP episode:Sheikhan: If I say I want action, you'll call?Matusow: YesSheikhan: I want action.Matusow folds, and yucks it up.

I disagree. His friend never should have asked him if he had looked in the first place. He did not cheat, and thus did nothing wrong. If you believe what a player says at the table, it is you who is the moron.My two cents.

"In poker may the best liar win"

I would have told him no also, you "bluffed" him, and bluffing is apart of the game.

There's a local poker pro here in Vegas who uses this move against tourists all the time.I won't mention his name, he's not well known in the t.v. sense but among the poker crowd here in town they all know who he is.Anyway when all the tourists are glancing at their cards he quickly glances at his and then announces he's calling or raising blind.Is it an angle? Hell I don't know.But it's funny.This is poker people. It's all about mind games.How is this guy's "lying" about not looking at his cards any worse than telling someone "you made a good lay down." when you got him to lay down TPTK when all you had was 9/2 off?They are both lies...they are both...BLUFFS.

I find people that soft play friends to be more offensive than anything this guy did during this hand.

I don't see anything wrong with it at all.It's a ****ing home game!! Though I'd do it in a casino too.

Who says you shouldn't have out right lied? Because the Bible says so? Please! That got what he deserved for believe him. LOL If my friend suckered me into calling when I thought he hadn't looked, that I would have just laughed. News flash, lying is part of poker. Points for douchebaggery.On another note, how ever, if your friend had a lick of sense, he wouldn't have believed you, and your silly hollywooding would have killed your action.

Man, it's nutty here. I never thought in my life I'd see someone get berated for lying in a poker game. 8)

damn, thats the greatest move ever, ill have to try that one out at my home game

First and foremost, I like the word douchebaggery.Second, a good answer that I use in a situation like this is, "If I said yes would you believe me?" You can use this line for many questions players often ask, "did you hit your flush, str8..." or "are you bluffing?"Sometimes you might want to pause just before saying YES and flip a coin where everyone can see it saying,"heads equals yes, tails equals no" then continue on with the rest of the line. This adds some drama. Let me know how it works out. Take care, owise1
