LOL Strategy!
Some friends and I were talking about some crazy theory behind the play of some players and/or the logic (or lack thereof) which makes them do what they do on the felt. I recalled one of my last session of 200nl at Niagara, there were two instances that made my head just shake in disbelief. First, a lady rivers the nuts (flush) and just calls opponents bet. Opponent ask her why she didn't raise, and she replies that there was no point because she might be beat. Second, another lady, gets re-raised then tanks for 20 seconds, folds, and says to the guy next to her: "I don't care about him. He's not the one I want to bust." I actually LOL'd at this.
What have you heard that made you lol?

Guy says: "Down $1200. Guess it's not my night"
Not so much lol as drool.
That's awesome. Clearly he's never heard of stop-loss.
My first time there a guy with (maybe) $10 Oakley knock-offs, playing 2/5 FL, wins with a flopped straight that was 3 bet pre flop with 69o! He insisted that he HAD to play it b/c it was BIG LICK! Oh dear.
I am UTG+1 and he is cut off - I get dealt 4-4, just call pre-flop, it gets raised to $10, villain calls and me. $30 in the pot and the flop is 8-Q-4 rainbow, I check, original raiser checks and villain checks.
Turn is a 3 and I lead out for $20, raiser folds and villain calls. $90 in the pot, river is a 2 and I bet $50 and villain tanks for a minute and calls, I show my trips and he slaps his trip eights on the table and says "YES !!".
The rest of the table and myself just start laughing, he was as proud as could be that he won the hand and didn't realize all the money he saved me.
He was afraid you had QQ, duh!
Nah backdoor A5 FTW

Hero has ATc in bb facing a single raise and 3 callers behind. Villian is UTG and calls the extra bet as well.
FLOP: Qc 8c 3h
TURN: 5c
River: 9d
There has been betting on every street all led by H in bb, so pot is at about $120. H has about $200 behind, V has $140.
Hero bets out, V raises, H re-raises, and this continues all they way down until V is all in (Remember, this is FL so the bets are only in $10 increments).
H turns over the nuts and V is exasperated as he shows K2c and exclaims":
"How can you have the nuts, you bet the flop?
That is classic Brantford logic!
She types in the chat: B1tch-what u call with?
Buy in 20 bucks, get 40 chips. Every chip is worth .50, and blinds are "one chip and two chips" as I am told...betting is done in number of chips..not dollar value. You can't buy in more than 40 chips and have to be empty before you can reload... Then they want to play PLO half way through the game...which is no biggie...but no one can count the pot accurately and it becomes an all in fest very quickly....simply a clusterfuck.
That's a super gross game! Played by people who are sheer gamblers and likely don't understand the game.

Blinds are 2k/4k and I have about 20k in the BB. Nearly the entire table limps preflop so I it was best to shove QQ and shorten the field. All the limpers call! The flop is 852 rainbow and everyone checks. The turn is 9 and UTG+1 comes out betting 10k and gets a call. An ace drops on the river and the UTG+1 checks and the middle position player shoves. I know my queens are dead, but what did the middle position player have? AJ.
This has just gotta be the cave right? lol... variance unlimited...
It most certainly was!
Bad play gets rewarded yet again. Sigh.

Hey, the hand with my queens was the perfect situation. If the AJ would have folded on the turn, then I would have taken down a 140k (20k x 7) pot and been in excellent position to grind through the field.
The magic of the Cave is they don't fold when they're way behind with cards to come.
The evil of the Cave is they don't fold when they're way behind with cards to come.
I was crippled down to $16 and began my return to profit by shoving my stack with queens (this time they held up!) and got called by KJos that missed. I got aces three times the next orbit (first two times in the BB and SB) and action each time. I ended up cashing out $135. I'm not complaining about the end result, but getting there was a major grind.
*salutes* Major Grind
Stand tall, private!
AC/DC Kris has been located . . . well done Shifty.
Don't know why players say that. It would be fun to say that, have the BB raise and then snap shove.
