3-nil to me and you've taken off your goal keeper.


This fish put all of his money in preflop yesterday with AsKh8d7d vs some guy with AAxx.

The fish got lucky. The other guy was yelling at him about why he made such a stupid play.

he wouldn't shut up about it for about 30 minutes.

Just classic moronic behavior at the tables. Tilting to watch this guy bash the fish at the table.

Then later on I realized this guy who was upset was also a huge donkey. He was making a lot of donkey plays that were also showing his lower poker IQ.

I thought he was a different profile of a player. He's the angry Donk type apparently, if that's a player type.

No. It was only the previous ones, not that latest one.

Need to move this part to a new thread….”Most absurd thinking I have heard on 2+2”. It would be a short thread since we know who the winner is.

Whenever I have some free time, I swing by this site—tons of casino info, demo games, and just pure fun. Definitely my little guilty pleasure!


last night was playing vs a huge whale who knew enough of the basic terms but not how to apply them

for example, he knew that it was good to have position

he didn't know that the value of position was gone when you cold called a 4! shove with T7s preflop based on the "i have position, position is good, so i should call this hand"

it was amazing, he had to go make an atm trip at least once every other orbit


"i'm behind, I call"

The guys who do all that berating usually are just dumbass fish themselves.

I was playing 5/10 Limit in a BBJ game and raise with AJ, BB calls. Flop is J55 and he check calls. Turn is a 2 and he checkraises me. He's shaking when he bets and breathing heavy so I call. River is J for J552J and he bets out; his hands shaking like he has Parkinsons. I just call knowing he at least has a jack and he says "I hope you got pocket jacks!" as he tables quad

Haha, that's a classic! Limit tables really capture those moments—it's like the guy's shaking as if he's holding something precious, yet he can't help but give it away. And seriously, “No chop, no flop” is a legendary saying. Every room seems to have at least one poet lurking in the shadows.


today some guy was calling every hand regardless of raise size preflop and would then continue with bottom pair etc

goes on a run, has a 3k+ stack

chinese guy at the table starts berating his skill level and starts calling the clock on him - he racks up and switches tables

Once I called an all-in on the flop in a 3-bet pot with AK-high and the opponent with the naked flush draw told me it was a bad call because he had 9 outs and I only had 6.

To be fair, he probably actually had 15 outs.


"Well, it's jacks, isn't it? You've got to go all-in."
- Heard moments after said player busted out of the tourney.

As the old saying goes: "Pocket Jacks, 4 ways to play 'em and they're all wrong."

I played the Main Event once and busted out with Jacks.

yes heard that..

The only exception is if you're short stacked, then you're delighted to see jacks in the hole.
