We were 5 handed in a sitngo with 2 people sitting out. I am first to act and call (I was second short stack and was trying to see a cheap flop with 2 3 which if it hit I could win a possible big pot). SB calls, BB raises the min, I call SB calls. Flop comes 4 5 J rainbow. SB checks, BB raises half the pot. I know have an open ended straight draw so I call. SB raises the min and BB raises half the pot which would put me all in. I figured I might not get myself in a better position, even though it was on a draw and with my current stack (only a few hundred) I wouldn't last much longer, so I call. Turn is an ace with no flush possible. River is a blank and I win with a-5 straight. Now I realize it may not be the best play, but I had good reasons for playing it this way and the guy never raised enough to push anyone out until I was pot-committed in my mind. The guy begins berating me. I listen to him for a while and tell him I don't need his pocker lesson. The berating continues for many hands and I have finally had enough and begin exchanging barbs with him. An observer starts LOLing at my comments to the jerk. Finally he busts out and starts in on me again. My response to him was this:"I can't help it if you have the Hellmuth disease, you know the one where you think no one ever deserves to be in a hand with you!"The other person left in the SNG (that wasn't sitting out) ROFLing and so did the observer who started ragging on the guy also.EStormOk

The greatest poker putdown is simple and undispituable: TAKING ALL THEIR MONEY and saying thank you.
uh no, thats actually a really weak putdown.
What is better than taking all their money???? You can call them all the names in the book, but if they bust you, who cares?

In all fairness, you did play the hand like a complete retard on every street. Limping in with comnplete trash from early position, calling off your entire stack with a draw; it doesnt get much worse than that.I wouldnt say anything to your face, but if i was with a friend, i'd be snickering about you for the rest of the night.

I played my lucky hand which is a truely trash hand.. Jack 4. I know its trash but twice I've been all in on a short stack and pulled a house with it and I have taken down quite a few good players with it. Its a hand u play agressive or don't play. Now normally if a pot is raised and re-raised I lay it down, but I was a defiante captain of a table and felt lucky so I re-raised again. Only one guy came with me, the flop was Q J 10 all clubs, I've got no clubs and I re-raise this poor guy I have been just beating around the whole tournament and he calls so I'm a bit worried, then the A of clubs comes on the turn and I go all and just type "wanna try me again I could be bluffing you again...". He sits on it for as long as he can then lays down and shows his pocket aces then I show him J 4 and he went beserk and he starts ripping at me saying "only a moron like you would re-raise a re-raise with J 4 then re-raise on that flop and go all in on the turn with 4 clubs and a royal flush draw out"of course I know its moronic but I had just been pounding on this guys all nite and its my lucky hand, plus with all my raising its not hard to represent a king of some kind there. Normally I would NEVER play J4 with that flop but damn it felt good to pull that trigger and win it from him. He must have snapped he was abusing me like nothing else so I just typed back, "only a moron would lay down pocket aces when an aggressive representer like me goes all in on that board..." after that I played the tightest game I've ever played in my life cause everyone called everything I did, which won me the tournament in the end cause all I had to do was go all in and I got called cause they thought I was bluffing. I can't believe I made a guy lay down 3 aces with a pair of jacks with a 4 kicker. Very lucky but very funny

I will be the first to admit it wasn't the greatest play and was probably a bad play. Especially the call before the flop with trash as you called it (not disputing the fact, just using your words). After that point I don't feel to bad about how I played it. I even relented to him and told him it "Ok, so I played it bad, move on. You play your hands, I'll play mine." I just thought he went way over board with his berating me and thought I put him in his place in the end.EStormOk

Yeah, it's definitely a bit much to rag on someone at a live game.I wouldnt say that you put him in your place though.It'd be more fun if you played off his frustration.First thank him for his chips.Second, when he (inevitably) tells you that he'll win more in the long run, tell him that you outplayed him, and that he needs to calm down and move on.When he starts fuming, turn to a player beside you, shrug, and reassure them that you'll stop tapping the glass.I'd imagine he'd then start letting out an exaggerated fake laugh of frustration telling you that you're the real fish. Then you have to say, "ok man, think whatever you want to help deal with the loss".
