B&M Cliches

[_TKO_]

Showing down a straight flush or quads and everyone goes, "woooooooooooah."

When the flop comes A22(or any other board pair):
"Damn, sorry I folded my ducks!(or rockets, or snowmen ad nauseum)"

Yes. This is definitely one of the worst cliches. Somebody not in the hand sees the flop, quickly figures out what the nuts would be, and then jokingly whines about having folded that hand.

The worst is when he does this three times in a row.

Flop: A66. "Damn, folded pocket sixes!"
Flop: 733. "Damn, folded 73!"
Flop: 986. "Gotta stop folding my T7!"

Yes, sir, I get it. You can figure out what the best hand is. Good job. Now shut up before I jam the corner of this card into your cornea.

a couple I say without thinking...

on the Button, seems like at least once a night the dealer will forget to give me a second card. I'll point it out to the dealer and say something like "I'm good but I'm not *THAT* good! HAR HAR"

(uh ok)

another one... usually after taking down a pot PF.. "I'm so tight I only raise preflop with a set"

(uh, yeah) Ok... so they're pretty ghey...

My favorite: when a player uses the "check and raise" line but then actually check raises. Awesome.

Folks who think every name for a hand is genius (look, 95o, as awesome of a hand as it is, really doesn't need to be specifically pointed out as the "dolly parton"). Special demerits if they continue to sit there naming hands as they're shown down. Ducks! Canine! Columbia River! Honestly, enough. Notable exceptions:
-Presto (always acceptable)
-Ducks (only valid if you accompany your showdwon with quacking)

Calling on the flop/turn saying "one time" (ie "I am going to call you to showdown no matter what the next two cards are").

Calling for cards ("no diamond!"... thanks for telling us you're on the flush draw).

"What'd you have" "13 of blue moon."

The lines I'm most guilty of using: It's just money/They're only chips and (after I raise/bet) "Fold, I have <quads/straight/flush/any impossible hand>". Wow, I just realized how bad this looks. I'm going to say 150 Hail Mary's and proceed directly to Harvey's South Lake Tahoe.

OY. Why do you do this?

Also, OT, but in golf, it's no longer (if it ever was) funny to say "One" when some schlub's ball falls off the tee; or "you're facing the wrong way" if they are left handed; or to holler "Fore!" when you drive past the golf course.

I love the irony of this thread. Complaining about cliches when 95% of the posts here (and in most forums, to be fair) contain one of many fad cliches. E.g., referring to something that has nothign to do with poker as "+/- EV". And Chuck Norris references have never been clever, regardless of what the majority of the population seems to think.

Dont forget the annoying FYP posts.

[WhiskyRiver]

Indeed. That is by FAR the worst.
