Nightcrawler 0 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I saw a twilight zone hand last night.$5 buy-in huckle game, I'm the dealer, and fold. Three players to the flop.Comes out 5 4 2 rainbow. The small blind checks, the big blind bets, the other player raises.The small blind thinks for a while, then shows me his hand.He has an A 3 offsuit. Incredibly, he asks me what he should do. Of course, trying to be fair to the other players at the table and not give anything away, I say something like "That's big money on the table."And then the small blind folded. I kid you not.They had to electr0shock me to flip over the next two cards.Just when you've thought you've seen it all... Link to post Share on other sites

ShakeZuma 585 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 You know whats really sad? Half of the players in my home game are like this. Ive been in the same postition as Nightcrawler many times, and I still don't know how to take it.One time a guy was beside me, and the final board read something like A K 6 2 8, and when the river came, he yelled "aww man", turned to me and showed me a 7 5. The only thing I could think of saying was "oh" Link to post Share on other sites
CrackofmyACE 1 Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 bump...I played another charity event last night only this time I was the donk. Guy limped in UTG with AA and trapped my QQ when I 4x'd it from the BB and he pushed. Everything told me fold but I said ehhh f*ck it he cant have AA ... this is a charity event!! These people don't know how to limp reraise! OOPS. Early exit 20 minutes in. ISACHARITYPTISKMSAnyways...Newbies, check out my OP for some sh*ts and giggles Link to post Share on other sites
SweetDaddyFreak 0 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 That was a good readI keep quiet when donks talk because there is no sense in trying to talk to thbem and explain ****. I wouldnt let them know there is skill involved, but its so god damn pathetic.WFT U HAD NINE HIGH AND HE BET ON ALL 3 STREETS WHAT TO DO!!!11!!!Its like the home game with my friends. When big hands happen there usually freakin out like "OHHH" and **** as i sit there quietly wondering why they dont expect it...not everyone can be great i guess Link to post Share on other sites

James D 0 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Lets just say that I had entered a "poker twilight zone" and spent most of the night sitting there flabberghasted and in sheer terror I looked around the table for a reaction from someone - nothing. I was all alone.Hilarious read.I've quoted the parts that made me genuinely laugh hard... I totally know how you felt!But, yeah you gotta do another of these with a hidden cam... with secret commentary from you talking quietly into a mic - stick it on YouTube.

mtdesmoines 3 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Wow, this thread is full of fishy goodness. I can't pick a favorite, there are so many good stories.Here's the thing: If you put five people in when they're 21% to win, one of them is going to win. Poker is a minefield. Don't step on the mines. Link to post Share on other sites

umop-apisdn 0 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 With about 3000 in my stack a few hands later I moved in from the cutoff with AKs after a shortstack UTG moved allin, in an attempt to isolate him and get heads up for a race. I had a reliable read on him that he was holding exactly two cards. To my dismay, I got called for my last 3k (blinds at 200/400) by the button, the small blind, and the big blind, creating a 5-way allin with 2 sidepots. I missed my flop and some guy who called off half his stack with J-9 quintrupled up after flopping a full house. I wished everyone good luck and left in gentlemanlike fashion in a complete daze... not sure what had just occurrred.Brilliant read! Just kidding - nice story, I played a bunch of Excalibur $30 lotteries while in Vegas recently and can sympathize... Link to post Share on other sites
psujohn 0 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Great read. Thanks for the bump. In the event I was in, the dealer was allowing people to raise 300 to 500 etc etc... I kindly interrupted the action and explained to the dealer that the minimum raise had to be twice the amount of the initial bet. He condescendingly told me to check the rule book and went about dealing the hand. During the first break I took him aside and further explained the rules regarding raises etc and he snapped at me and called over the tournament director. The tournament director reinforced the dealers argument by explaining to me that the "minimum raise had to be at least the amount of the big blind...not twice the initial bet"I played in a charity event "casino night" that was actually run like a cash game. They actually had this rule too. Raises had the be in increments of the BB not the bet size. Starting stacks were only $50 and we were playing 1/2 so everyone was short and they used that as an explanation. Of course even if you're allowed to do it doesn't mean it's a good idea.
