bm99 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I think I can beat that with a dumber play.I was playing an online tournament and the river made a broadway straight with no flush possibility. I threw out a huge bet just to be a dink and the other two people in the pot folded! I couldn't believe it. Link to post Share on other sites

HoosierAlum 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I have said this to myself on countless occassions: "That was probably the dumbest play in the history of poker."No matter how much poker I play, I still sometimes make the most donkarific plays. Link to post Share on other sites
doublemeup 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Thats not even CLOSE to the dumbest play in the history of poker. I mean are you serious? I could come up with a better one if i went to play poker right now and came back. Link to post Share on other sites

dapokerbum 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Here is the dumbest play ever.Playing a house tourney the board reads J K A . Player 1 says all in, Player 2 calls.Player 1 "I have a str8" turns up Q 2Player 2 "I had to call because I was pot committed" turns up 10 8 Link to post Share on other sites
Longshanks 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I got the worst, guy folds pocket aces PREFLOP because an ace was misdealt face up Link to post Share on other sites
doublemeup 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Wow this is the best you guys have? I had a guy that only invested like 1/5 of his chips into the pot and i had a pair of aces with a board of AJ985 and a guy called 1/3 of his chips after the river with 32. He didn't have a flush either. That has to be the dumbest unless somebody called all in after the river with 3 high. Link to post Share on other sites

hudday48 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 To OP maybe the player thought his opponents cards were dead because he revealed them before the chips were all-in. Actually i think the player the called with tens was the one robbed. Regardless that is some weird sh!t. How about player a calls my river bet i show pair of aces, he shows 32 then mucks thinking he plays the board. He actually has a wheel. I am awarded the pot. The funny thing is that everyone ragged on him calling the river with a hand that couldn't beat the board.(Very fishy home game) Link to post Share on other sites
FileError404 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 All right, 999 on the board, player A raised on the river, player B, after much thought makes a "crying call" with 94. After being asked why he didn't raise, his serious reply was: "I had a weak kicker". Link to post Share on other sites

The guy who lost with his boat, took the rest of his money and left without saying a word...Not a home game either. This was a really tough 2/5NL game. (Around 20K on the table) That guy payed a lot of bills for a lot of guys over the last few month... Link to post Share on other sites
TarHeelAce 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I've got one. Playing a small tournament with my friends a couple years ago- Flop is 666. Turn is a 6. River is an ace, so the nuts are on the board. I push all-in. My friend thinks forever, asking "Can anything beat that?" I tell my other friends to shut up and let him play the hand. Finally he folds, giving me the pot. Everybody explodes laughing and telling him how he had to call, of course. He didn't talk to me for two weeks, but it was well worth it.

Seriously...you made it up, unless he misread the board and thought he had a straight...in which case it's dumb but not at all the worst play ever.The original post IMO is one of the worst I've heard of. Calling 240 with only 15 invested when you know you have about a 5% chance of winning? Link to post Share on other sites
sloshr 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I once saw a guy raise preflop in a 20/40 limit game, watch it get reraised and capped with a couple more callers, show AA and FOLD for the 2 extra bets because "this can't hold up with 7 players" Link to post Share on other sites
scoobylee 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I have a friend in one of my home games that limped in, called a 2bb bet on a AKT board, then called a 2BB turn of 8 with 32o. He checked the river and showed it down. He said he put his opponent on a bluff and felt if he hit a 3 or a 2 on the river, he would win. His opponent won with J9o, so I guess he would have been right.My same friend caused us to drop Omaha from our mixed game tournament because we could not make him understand why his full house of 5s full of 3s would not scoop the pot in Omaha Hi/Lo.Good times .. good times.

Battle Scars 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 This play simply stupefied me (and I do realize that technically it is a bad beat story, so I apologize in advance).Limit hold-em tournament, I'm short-stacked in late position and I get pocket Ks. Raise preflop, get two callers (including the small blind). Flop comes A-A-6. Checked to me, I bet, small blind calls, other guy folds. Turn is another 6. SB checks, I bet, he calls.River is a 3. SB checks, I check. SB shows pocket 3s.On a board showing A-A-6-6, he calls: the only hand that he is able to beat being pocket 2s, praying for a two-outer that is useless if I have an Ace (which I am representing) OR a 6.

brian67 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 In stud 8 I once had some lady call the last of her chips without being able to beat my board, and this is at 7th, with no cards to come, and without a low. It was unreal. Link to post Share on other sites
